Christmas 2009

Daddy came home. We made it to one I-Max movie. We napped. We ate. We played. We made a mess. We barely left the house. We watched Christmas movies. Grandma and grandpa came for a visit.

We hardly turned on a computer.

I hope yours was as wonderful as ours.

She's Not Even A Teenager Yet

Hi Alida.

Hey, everyone else fled upstairs to hide when I mentioned that we needed to put our shoes on. (Thankfully, I start mentioning this an hour before it needs to happen so we can hope to be on time.)

Let's take a few...

Alida. Look at me. No. I know you know how to roll. Come. Stop. Girl. Please.

Yes. You are two.
Can you give me a smile pretty girl?

No stop jumping around. Just stand there and smile.

What. What is that?

You're not going to do it are you?

No.

Lest anyone out there think she is incapable and I am just pushing the child, I present to you Exhibit A. The Joker here is perfectly capable of sitting still for ten seconds and flashing a smile.

And here is Monkey See, Monkey do with the runny nose.

The Cast Party

I was apparently feeling brave Tuesday, and instead of whisking them away to get to bed, we hung around and enjoyed cookies and juice. Juice that we spilled and cookies we all took a year to pick out and then refused to eat. I stuffed them all, every last one, in my face as we drove home.

And The Finale

Presenting: Cuteness in Motion

Merry Christmas from the Stuber kids!

It's True

Alida can be caught in a better pose every once in awhile.

These are actually the boys' healthy corn dogs the girls attacked as the boys snuck away with the girls' toys.

Symbiosis, Equipoise, Quiet

More on why we're so decked out on a Tuesday night tomorrow.

Just Try It

Sometimes many hands do not make light work. For example, changing the sheets on your bed with ten hands.
