In the month of December we enjoyed a visit from the Gypson Clan; Grammy, Pappy, Scott, Carolyn, Nolan, Lyra (technically Blancos but 50% Gypson Genes). We had a couple of snow storms for some out door winter fun and enjoyed the Holiday season.

Chloe gets so excited when we come in after a nap. She loves to stand at the edge of the crib, smile and make cute baby sounds.

We were blessed with 14 + inches of snow just before everyone came which made Carolyn and Nolan's trip up turn from a usually fast 3 hrs to a exhausting and some times nail biting 10 hr adventure. The whole family took advantage of the white stuff to go sledding. Thanks to Pappy and Grammy for bringing some sleds down, all our local stores were sold out!

Someone takes a tumble which Carolyn obviously finds hilarious.

A bath in the sink, Grammy provides a good distraction.

We missed Mark, Bekka and Liam so hooked up a web cam session. Who knows what Tara is doing in the background.

Such a devious look, what are you going to do with that snow ball?

This was Lyra's first playing in any deep snow (not sure but maybe first time in any snow). Like all kids her age I'm not sure she knew what to make of it. I'm supposed to love this cold wet stuff?

We had an even earlier December snow storm with some really wet snow, perfect for rolling up a big snowman.
