Dee Doh Dah

Lincoln likes to make up new words. His favorite is Dee Doh Dah. Whenever I ask him a questions he doesn't know the answer to, his answer is Dee Doh Dah. It makes me laugh.
In no particular order, here is a slideshow of the last several weeks of our lives.

Lincoln was a much better helper at decorating this year.

Mealtime. Oliver has taken over the high chair, so Lincoln occasionally gets his higher chair.

This kid loves his cheerios.

And Lincoln usually loves yogurt. He's very hit and miss with anything!

Oliver decided he wanted to see the lights. I think Christmas has helped him want to crawl.

Sometimes we like to play in any size box.

Another milestone may be that both boys got pink eye this year. It's  first for both of them. It was the last day of eye drops Lincoln finally decided to buck up and let it happen.

 My parents came over two days before Christmas this year to exchange gifts. It was their first shot at opening presents, a perfect warm-up and so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa.

Lincoln loves new clothes. These ones even match his little brother. 

Here's Oliver opening his present...oh wait, I guess it's Lincoln's job to do all of the opening and playing with new toys this year. 

 Grandpa gave Lincoln his "biggest" present this year. It is a really really really...

 big, big, big, big

 Bear.

 Lincoln LOVES it!

 On Christmas Eve he dragged the bear into the living room and made the bear give him a hug.

 On Christmas morning Lincoln couldn't stop playing with his first present to open others.

Oliver and I are both so excited to see what Santa brought.

It was fun to have Grandma Graham here again this year to show Lincoln how to use his new gifts.

So many toys, where do we start?

 9 Months!!!

I don't think this bear will ever get old.

 On Christmas afternoon we went to Grandma & Grandpa Poll's for more gift exchanging for the cousins. Lincoln loved his new ties from Carson.

 The day after Christmas we headed up to Huntsville with the Poll's. My parents got a home for us to stay in for the weekend. It was a great getaway!

On Saturday Jodi brought up some donuts. Lincoln ate them as though he hadn't eaten in days. Everyone was so impressed with his ability to eat donuts.

Lincoln and Macy had so much fun together.

Here was the view at sunrise. It was pretty, and cold out there.

Lincoln and Macy slid into Grandma's office a couple of times. It's so hard to keep your hands off computers.

WE went for a little walk and found some horsies, wild turkeys and snow.

Oliver loved the walk.

We made a sledding hill on the entrance to the property. Lincoln loved it!

Then the girls went on a quick snowshoeing outing while dads took care of kids.

What is snowsheoing with my mom, without a little snow doggie pile.

When the kids went down, the games came out. We played a lot of card games and board games.

Here's some more pics of our trip to Arizona over Thanksgiving.

Grandpa loved to play connect 4 with the kids.

Good 'ol Arizona in November.

If you are still here, and actually want more, here are some random videos of milestones, sledding, and Christmas.
