The Franks: Fun with the Franks!

Great-Aunt Marcia and Great-Uncle Bob sent us gifts!!!

THEY ARE SO AWESOME!! Decorate your own dreidels and TWO puzzles!!!

We went to a birthday celebration for Aunt Hope's Mommy, Joyce

Grandma and Dale sent us a new mountain for our trains!

We drew pictures for the dinner table at home, so everyone knew where to sit.

Reads: Zadye (complete with bathrobe)

Mommy took us to the Long Island Children's Museum. IT WAS SO FUN

I GOT TO RIDE AN EXCAVATOR

This is a tiny village where all the repairs are made with things found around the house. A toothpick, a soda can, all used to repair toys in the village

Under the car, fixing it

I can't reach!

Playing music

Then we got a package from Grandma and Dale.

Sometimes Dylan gets so excited about a new item, he gets naked.

ESPECIALLY WHEN ITS HOMEMADE PJS!

Wearing mommy's snow hat

Dylan spilled some milk. I told him to clean it up, so this is what he did.

Of course, thats after he snuck a piece of sandwich before lunch was ready..

Video proof that this is NOT a staged photo to come later...

A new place opened up in our 'hood called Happy Faces. WE LOVE IT THERE. It's so fun. Here are some photos from the time there

Mommy and Momma got our toddler beds out of storage. Too bad they didn't fit in any car we own...

Now we have new big kid bedding and our new big kid beds!

Sometimes sleeping in our beds is hard work, but the floor is comfy too

These are special outfits that Uncle Andrew and Momma wore when they were little.

For Christmas, we went to see our friends. Our whole family has been getting together with their whole family for over 40 years. Usually its Christmas Eve, but this year we did Christmas Day. It's a special day for all, and we got to spend the day with Johnny!

AND EAT AT A TABLE WITH NO ADULTS

Mommy showed us how to make our own snowpeople.

Then we got to see our cousins (once removed) Julia, Lauren, Dave and our Great-Aunt Kathy.

Julia is pregnant!

Uncle Matthew was there, too!

On New Years Eve, Grandma, Zayde, Mommy and Momma played HUGGERMUGGER. It's a secret word game. Zayde won!

Then it snowed...

GOTCHA!

SNOWBALL FIGHT

Love my slide

When we came in from playing in the snow, we watched some of the Rose Bowl Parade that Zayde recorded for us.

Then a foot of snow fell! IT WAS SO FUN TO PLAY IN

That night we made our own books

Then we went to Uncle Andrews for Aunt Hope's birthday celebration. We love spending time with the family! Uncle Andrew just moved here and this was our first time in his new apartment. We had a BLAST tearing it apart!
