The Boys

Poor T Fish is struggling with eczema. It's kind of crazy to watch him scratch/rub his arms on his changing pad. Poor guy. Between his tongue ties, upset stomachs, and skin, he's going to be one tough boy when he gets older.

 Booch is just ornery and cute as usual. Bobbins made that leather vest for him. Kind of a bummer it's already too small. I'm sure T Fish will get some use out of it.

Work Gift Exchange

Glenn, our new supervisor, got the D&D starter set that was supposed to be for Ben and was a carry-over from last year. Travis's hat fit him quite well.

 

That's Our Inimitable Jip

Decorating the Tree

 For the first time ever, MM did not break an ornament this year!

Annual Nutcracker

Bobbins got us cheaper tickets for the Nutcracker this last Christmas, but they were way out in Mesa. It took almost 45 minutes to get there. We did have close seats in the middle. It was Karin's first ballet. Hopefully she understood half of it.

Picking Out the Xmas Tree

We decided to try a lot on Shea not far from our house, but of course they only took cash, so I had to make two purchases from Trader Joe's on the debit card. It was a little expensive, as they only had nobles, but we had fun. Bobbins picked up a bunch of cut stumps for some project she claims she'll do later. Karin seemed to enjoy the experience.



That's T Fish in the monkey hat.

Potty Training

 Bobbins started Booch in earnest when we got back from California, and in true 'golden child' form, he's doing really well. He has an occasional accident, sure, and is pretty much always running around the house half-naked, and the front yard, but we're spending less on diapers!
