December 31, 2005 - Playing with Grandma Ellen

December 18, 2005 - Making Faces in the Mirror

(Brynioch is 22 months)

Jill has often found Mike posing in front of the mirror (something he admits to doing throughout his life). It appears that Byn is no different. Not only does he enjoy examining his face and its adornments, he also enjoys making a range of expressions, from grumpy to happy to whiney.

Stars on Mommy too

We visited Mike's birthmother and her family for a Christmas Season dinner. This is Mike's half-brother Andrew.

His other half-brother Mike (yes, they have the same name)

Irene (Mike's wife), Desiree (Andrew's wife), and Andrew and Des' dog Kiwi

Linda helps Bryn with his new Farm set

This toy (an alligator that each lego bricks) with the name "Blockodile".

December 11, 2005 - Hair Party cum Christmas Party

(Brynioch is 22 months)
Connor constructing a gingerbread house Bryn eating a gingerbread house. Connor realizing that eating is even more fun than building. Bryn continuing to demonstrate (for Connor's benefit, of course). What a great race track! That train track isn't too shabby either. (This started Bryn's love of trains.)

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.)

December 4, 2005 - Jill's 32nd-year-old Birthday Party

(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.)
