December 10, 2005 - Mabey Family Christmas Party

(Brynioch is 22 months)
Bryn loves this horse. Not only can he sit on it, it also plays a great rendition of the William Tell Overture (a.k.a. the theme from the Lone Ranger). Back out home, he'll often dole out umbrellas to all in the living room, then start up the music with a squeeze of the horse's ear. Then he demands that everyone join him in a parade of makeshift umbrella hobby-horses. Dancing with the freaky mechanical snowman. (Mike is truly creeped out by this contraption, even though loves the grostesque statue in his music room.) Bryn and Jill's brother Aaron. Bryn's cousin Tyler, Bryn, and his Dad. (Don't look too closely at that silly shirt that Dad's wearing.)

(Brynioch is 22 months)
The cake was one of Mike's mother Ellens famous cakes. Unfortunately, this was had been kept in the freezer for almost a year, and was terribly freezer burnt. Mike still couldn't resist one more bite, before throwing the remainder away. (A big sigh could be heard throughout the house.)
