The month started off warm enough for a stroll
through the neighborhood.

Even though it started off warm, Nugget and I had many snow days later
in the month.

My Nugget

2011 has been a wonderful year.  Looking back I can't believe how much Nugget has grown and changed in just 12 short months.  I am looking forward to 2012 ~ I do hope it doesn't fly as fast as 2011, though.

Happy New Year!!

Oh What a Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve morning Nugget suddenly seemed interested in the tree.

Checking out Maemae and Papa's tree.

Opening the first gift of the year.

Christmas Day

Santa was here!

Oh!

Wow!

Checking things out.

Nugget's favorite thing to do is check out the pictures on the back of the package.

Taking a cookie break.

After he opened 'Mack',  Zac was done opening gifts.

All he wanted to do was play.

and play...

This is Nugget's favorite activity, lining up all of his cars.

Center of attention at Nannan's

The girls are all lined up waiting for the gift passing to begin.

More cars!

The Tree

Surprise!  A post from me!   I have several posts I want to share, so you may get a couple in the next few weeks.  No promises.  :o)

A couple of weeks ago we put up our trees.  We put up two trees this main one in the family room and one in the dining room.  The family room tree is definitely my favorite.  This year it was fun to decorate with my little helper.

Nugget wanted to add the beads himself.

I wish I could have left it like this.  Too cute!!

Looking for the right ornament to add to the tree.

Isn't he the cutest?

Nugget added some ornaments of his own.

More of Nuggets personal ornaments.
(They were gone by the next morning.)

Nugget is all about 'tars' this year, 'ehrow tars'  are his favorite.
When I saw this 'ehrow tar' at Hallmark I knew it was the ornament for him!

Our tree.
It won't win any decorating awards,
but it's the best tree I've ever had.
