Playing at the library together

Poor, sick Calynn. So exhausted she fell asleep on the floor!

Sweet time together

December 27

First time in the snow for 2010!
The snow wasn't right for snowballs or snow
people, so she was pretty disappointed. We
also found out later that she had a doube
ear infection, so that probably contributed to the
grumpiness.

Pulling out the candy cane filled with candy,
something Jeff always got.

Getting help from Dad and her new flashlight to see

Calynn empties out Liam's too, and shows him
what he got.
