This and that

We finally have our real camera back! But here's our last big slew of photos we took on our phones. :)

Finally painted the living room! With a little help.

Cuddle attack.

Girl stuff...

This card shark absolutely schooled me at Go-Fish.

Matt played a great show with Timothy Monger State Park  , with an all new lineup that included 3/5 of the Canastas! Was very proud of all my boys. :)

 Trying, in vain, to let Daddy go to band practice.

 Raising hell at Kroger.

Chi finds a convenient pillow.

Fun with stamps.

In the stacks at Rovi.

Chi is just wearing these glasses to look smart.

Bundle up!

 Ridiculous cat antics.

 
 Everybody crowds in for bath time.

 
We're a very serious family.

Chi is a fierce beast.
  
Gosh, the daddy of this house sure is handsome...

Hot chocolate (with vegan marshmallows) after a cold day.

 Matt's trumpet grip is quite classy looking.

 PJ Party.

 Super fam!

 Family friendship bracelets!

The most beautiful girl in the world. :)

 Michigan winters...

 Food prep is always better with a helper.

 

 Having tons of fun with the fashion set Papa gave her for Christmas!

 Gretsch helps add some resistance to Daddy's push-ups.

Geeze, Chi, take it easy...

Christmas photos!

Our fancy camera was in the repair shop during the holidays, but we still had our phones!

Our girl goes BIG!

 Decorating the tree.

The night before Christmas...

All through the house...

....not a creature stirring.
At least not until Christmas morning!

More spoils...


Matt gave me this beautiful Konstglas bear!

Mama cat and baby kitten.

 Story time.
Random shot Matt took of me in front of our Christmas tree.

G got some glue in her hair and needed an emergency haircut. Good thing she looked as beautifully adorable as ever.

G got a Spirograph for Christmas from Gram and Pop.

Gram got a giant tea kettle, and was nearly drowned in wrapping paper.

...

For Christmas, my dad asked for a CD of music from the various projects MC and I have worked on together. I made some impromptu cover art for it with some notebook paper.

I'm going to miss our mantle looking so festive!

Gbear said that in this picture, Bill Murray is saying "Aaaaaaactivities!" I guess all those puzzles and model sets and (ahem) activity books she got for Xmas really made an impression.

 I have a suspicion that someone in the house doctored this Christmas ornament. ;) 
Chi made himself a new friend. 

Donning new bandanas at Gram and Pop's.

Collar/White/Albertson holiday shenanigans.

Crazy girls.

Mirren's special message from Superman.

 Cuddle buddies.
