Additional Pictures from Christmas 2008

Caleb insisted on clipping my toenails. He found the clippers somewhere and had me take off my socks so he could clip the toenails.

Reading a story with Grandad.

My mom made Caleb a bug quilt. I need to take a picture of the quilt in it's entirety becuase it is really cool. She and her sister and my Grammy all made them a couple years ago and she's been waiting for a time to give it to Caleb when he will appreciate it. I actually made one for my friends' kids last Christmas. Of course, my corners didn't match up like my moms and the edge of hers is perfect and mine was definately handmade. :)

Grandad and Aunt Katie got excited to put the barn together. My sister loves toys, especially ones that make noise (she and Andy both) and was excited to make it work. Caleb is helping. As you can see he really likes the tractor and the trailer.


Christmas dinner. Caleb ate the roll. I'm not sure what else. My mom made the rolls and they were good! She also made some Christmas jam (cran-strawberry) and gave us a bottle for Christmas. Caleb LOVES it! He will cry, "Christmas jam!" so pitifully I need to get it on video. I think part of his love is that he knows Grammy made it and he loves Grammy and he loves Christmas. Oh and he's eating on a plate my parents gave him for Christmas--with matching silverware.

If you're wondering, my parents live in a beautiful old pioneer home that they have been working on insulating, etc. It is still cold in the house. My Grammy always wears multiple layers when coming to visit and my dad wears his house hat. :)

My dad flew Caleb around on this little chair that was made by my great-great-grandfather (did I get it right?)


Crazy hair in the morning. The other day Andy told me he thought we should cut Caleb's hair so it doesn't stick up so much in the back. I think maybe I should just buy some gel.

Playing with Grandad. Yes his shirt tails are haning out. I'm not sure why it's so dark, but I decided to post it anyway.
