Question

How many people can fit in a phone booth, I mean on Kara's lap?

Success

Maia loved her first sledding experience.

And the winner is...

Grandma Jo!

Race

Brad, Maia, and Grandma Jo braved the big hill at the side of the house.

Lap

Maia loved snuggling with Eli.

Cousins

The three cousins zoned out to a dvd in unison.

Hattie's first trip

We were lucky to meet Hattie (and see Adam and Sarah) while we were in Minnesota.

A diva...

is born.

Sharing

Jonah dipped into Maia's wardrobe for an accessory.

Dress code

Maia's first tutu fit like a charm.

Frisbee...

and so much more.

Yesssssssss!

Another much appreciated gift. TiVo!

Reading hour...

or twenty. Eli displayed his new books.

Verdict

Kara didn't exactly know what to make of the new outfit, but that looks like a smile on her face.

Union Jack!

I have never seen a person more excited about a present than Jeff when he pulled out these snappy pj's. I'm not kidding. Never.

Playdate

Leo and Maia enjoyed an afternoon together. Maia decided to wear a beret to the session.

Holiday photo

Luckily the Paymar Procrastination Team pulled a holiday photo off -- with the help of Jessie, Maia's babysitter.

Meow

The cat hat -- a favorite gift from Nancy and Jack -- finally fits.

Sunset

Maia and Brad enjoy a beautiful sunset.

Bring on the rain

Maia was ready for a true Oregon shower.

Here, let me show you

Much to Eleanor's dismay Maia really took on the big kid role.

Sorry, wrong number

Maia took her job as the official call screener very seriously for our entire stay at the coast.

Ready for work

The green boots really came in handy for Maia's morning clam digs during our weekend at the beach with Kathleen, John, and Eleanor.
