December brings Christmas 2012...

I love going to Maine for Christmas... and I think Ryne loves it too!  We had a lot of fun making snow  man cookies at Memere's house with my cousins!

We had a fun sleepover too!

I played with Charlee outside and with Ryne in a box... boxes are the best- better when presents come inside them!

For Christmas Eve we went to Auntie Amber and Uncle Kip's house and made Gingerbread Houses with my cousins!

It was a real mess, but fun!

 Christmas morning my cousins came over and we opened lots and lots of presents- I helped Ryne open his presents too!

I was so nice to be with Stevie, Carter and Piper!  Here is Ryne and Pepere- he really did have a good time... just no smiles in the pics!

Then the rest of the family came over... I really love spending time with my family!  Ryne does too!

Auntie Danielle and Richard came with Gavin and Evan (love to see them)

Ryne being serious in his pictures with Memere then with Uncle Danny, Uncle David and Daddy (notice the lack of hair)

Well Piper and I had a great time together- she is my best friend!

December brings Chanukah 2012...

It has been a busy month... lots of new things- Ryne learned how to clap and wave, but Mommy could not get a picture of either- so instead here is Ryne trying to steal my purse (he now gets into my stuff all the time) and yelling when he is told he cannot have something he wants!

I tried to teach Ryne everything I know about Chanukah!  Grammy and Grampy came over and brought a new Menorah.

Ryne really liked the walking dreidel and the Menorah... he puts everything in his mouth now!

Then cousin Abe came with Auntie Anna and Uncle Brett!  I had a lot of fun showing Abe how to open presents (I have much experience in this category).

Cousin Abe is almost the same size as Ryne!  So I guess Ryne is on the small side and Abe is on the big side of the scale (being 5 months apart)... though Ryne wears his Jeter shirt with pride!

Thanks for visiting the blog... keep checking, hopefully Mommy will post after Christmas in Maine and or after our visit to Orlando Fl- yes our first road trip to Florida with Ryne!

Ryne is 8 months and loves visitors!

It was a crazy month... Mom says blame the weather on global warming!  One day I am making snowballs and the next I am at the park... Fall is a really strange season... but a season full of visitors and visits!

Sammy came down early November- it was so good to see her!!

Then Grammy and Grampy came to visit- Ryne showed off his furniture walking skills!

Cousin Abe came with Auntie Anna and Uncle Brett- we had so much fun trying to get this picture of the three of us done- Ryne had finally given up trying to attack Abe!

Grammy and Grampy with all their grandchildren- aren't we so cute?

I had a fun time pushing Ryne in the swing... well it was fun until a 2 year old decided to walk in front of the swing and Ryne took him out!

Then Pepere and Memere came to visit us- yes even during Hunting Season, they took the time to come down to see us... we must be very special!

Then we went down to NY- Grammy and Grampy's house, for Thanksgiving! 

It was so nice to be with the family for the Holiday- here is Cousin Abe, Uncle Brett and Aunt Anna...

Uncle Kevin and Uncle Brett... looking handsome, like always!

I am missing in this family picture... I was still taking a nap!  

But Ryne got a lot of attention!

Aunt Alana and Uncle Kevin are giving some love to Ryne... same with cousin Mara!

Finally I woke up and played with my cousin Abe... though he is 5 months younger than Ryne, they are almost the same size!!
