CHRISTMAS!!!

We were having way too much fun to post, sorry! We still have one more Christmas to go at the farm with Grandma and Grampa Bacon. Busy times over the holidays: Christmas Eve we spent at home with our little family: Doing a Christmas duet with Da

Strange, strange little boy- he wandered around all proud of himself for putting together this outfit of the monkey ears headband and an oven mit...and found the same 'outfit' the next day and did the same thing...who knows...

Yes, I can sit on my butt on this bench, but I would MUCH rather stand...

Get it out Da!!! Seriously I don't know who they're protecting these toys from.

Here Da, use my saw to cut it out...

Christmas Day at the Grandma Diane and Grandpa Roger's house with Uncle Eric too. Grandma Diane had her knee replaced on Dec 22nd, so we had a nice low-key day, Sam was entertainment! Grandma and Grandpa gave him a battery powered ride-on four wheeler that there is video of, but no pictures in our camera- will post later.

Let's get down and try it out Uncle Eric (remote control truck!)

This must be for me...
Oh boy, a Cabertiller!

Friday in Amery with Great Grandma Ele (Diane's mom) with all the cousins!

Not touching the pretties...
Okay, you busted me, I'm touching the pretties...they're just so tempting!!
He is the picture of concentration

And Saturday in Superior with Great Grandma Ellie (Roger's mom). Sam now has more toys and books than he knows what to do with, and let me tell you, he was burnt out by the end of the weekend. He capped off the busy weekend with a bummer of a head bonk in Superior against the side of the big old wooden console TV...naked...poor little dude- I had let him run around in the buff after I changed his diaper nd he tripped and landed square into the side of the TV, arms at his sides, not bracing at all. No blood thank goodness (Ellie has white carpet...) but he is sporting a rainbow bruise on his forehead...not the first, not the last I'm sure.

Loving Great Grandma Ellie- he almost weighs as much as she does!
Four generations of Aho's. The whole family together!
For some reason everyone is smiling a little better in this picture...
The flying tigers- each year Uncle Paul gets the cousins some crazy thing like this- they have elastic in their arms and make a roaring noise when they hit the floor (or their intended target). Sam thought this was a great idea and has since been applying it to many of his toys...thanks Uncle Paul!

The pretties just about biffed it here...
