Merry Christmas!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!  While I have been quite neglectful of the blog, I hope to do better in the coming year!  I hope everyone enjoys the happiest of holidays this Christmas season.

 

Aiden and Audra risk last-minute placement on the naughty list.

  

Christmas spirit and big smiles!

Audra's first time decorating (the indoor tree lacked ornaments, as they tend to get destroyed by Aiden.  Maybe in a few years we can actually decorate nicely!).

 

Aiden cruises around the yard, checking on things.

 

Audra enjoys some warmer weather before the cold chill returns.

Enjoying Springtime

The weather has warmed and activity has picked up in the McBride backyard!  Clyde (and assistant Aiden) are back to work in the yard and Audra and Mom love to come outside to visit with Kona.  The tough part is bringing Aiden back inside without him throwing a fit.

Aiden loves to run around and play out back.

Audra still spends most of her time inside, but she has fun!

Clyde's new riding boots arrived!  Thanks, Mom and Dad!

They're beautiful!  He cannot wait to break them in.

There's nothing like a cool drink after a day outside.  Thanks for the cups, Mimi!

Aiden and Kona are up to their old tricks.  Daddy has to unclog the fountain's filter much more often when these two are around it!

Though the iPad was a gift from Clyde to me, Aiden seems to think it's his.  He is gracious enough to try to show Audra the game he's playing.

Audra loves "playing" with her toys.  Thank you Grandma and Grandpa... it's still a hit!

Aiden coaches Audra through her "tummy time".

Hugs and Kisses

Baby Audra has grown on her big brother, and he's generous with his hugs and kisses.  As he now climbs in her crib with her--there is officially no place I can put her where he cannot get to her!

Audra loves to smile--Aiden usually gets a big one from her!

Aiden loves to "hold" his baby sister.

Audra was crying while I folded laundry.  I heard "Mama!", and found Aiden trying to console her and calling for help.

Aiden thinks its funny to squish noses while kissing.

Snuggling with Daddy is the best.

Aiden loves her tiny feet!
