A Picture Heavy Post!

 The day after the Davis family came, we had our Family Christmas Celebration.  This is the table that Carianne set.  We had a smoked turkey for dinner with all the trimmings that was delicious.  We were joined by Carl's mother, Pat Pfiester.  It was a wonderful evening.

 Dutch found a submarine.  Aunt Carianne let him play in the kitchen sink for hours.  She forgot he was on the garbage disposal side and when dinner was over there were tiny toy pieces in the the disposal.  Fortunately there was no lasting harm done.

 This next sequence of pictures is of Dane.  How he could be on that stone floor was beyond me but he kept crawling off the rug onto the stone.

 Dane's 'toe push-ups.'  He bear crawls more than he knee crawls, I think.  Actually he had little time on the floor at all with all the people that wanted to hold him in Texas.

 When Dutch laughed as a baby - everyone in the room laughed.  When Dane smiles - everyone in the room smiles.  

 By this point he was tired of the camera chasing him around.

 Carlye eating something good enough her mother wanted a bite.

 When my sister, Marianne and I were little - we would get into all sorts of contortions.  Our daughters did the same thing.  This picture just reminded me that is must be in the genes.

As I mentioned the other day, Dutch fell asleep at the table before his dinner was over.  This is after we finished opening presents.  Pam is holding Dutch and the sisters are enjoying the company.
