Baa Baa, Choo Choo, and a 9-Month Old!

We had a busy weekend! Declan and Liam will be leaving the JCC and starting a new school in January, so Liam got to take home Shabbat Sheep one more time. We also celebrated our godson Tommy's 3rd birthday this weekend, complete with a barrel train!

And not to be missed in the holiday excitement, we have a 9-month old! Declan is moving fast these days. Likes: crawling up stairs, standing at May's water bowl, shaking his head no, giving kisses, and laughing out loud at his brother. Dislikes: getting his diaper changed, being fed anything with a spoon (except sometimes yogurt), and when we take him away from May's water bowl. He is a funny little guy.

Shabbat Sheep, meet Ralphie, our Elf on the Shelf.

Mommy's assistant (and his sheep assistant) make pancakes, Declan's favorite food.

Babcia had knee surgery last week, so we surprised her with a visit and some artwork!

Shabbat sheep gets to participate in story time too.

Dec loved watching May outside.

Out to dinner!

Even better than a dinner out? Thunder bowl! Dec storms the lane.

Liam liked to shout "Yes! I got a gutterball!"

VERY happy bowler.

After Declan went to bed, the big boy in the house got to help Mommy make a gingerbread house.

So proud of his work of art.

Yummy!

On to Tommy's birthday party and a ride in Vern's mini-train!

All aboard!

Too funny.

Dec was a little small to ride, but he attended in a festive train sweater.

One more ride! One more ride!

Daddy and the birthday boy.

Our 9-month in his sweet ride.

Taking advantage of a warm winter day and spinning our wheels.

Crash!

Broncos fans!

Declan - aka the Baby Sack Machine - is ready to pounce.
