as always, Louis and his trains are inseparable.
The three wise men struggle to stand up and save baby Jesus from being toted away by Louis' excavator.
Cool guy Louis talks on the phone to his buddy, Jonas, in LaCrosse.
Kisses (and germs) are exchanged under the tree. So churns the cycle of sibling love/hate and the fine seasonal line between being sick and well.... 
Congrats to the dashing young couple, Peter and Katy!
Annabelle and Louis welcome Noah LaFrance, their 2nd cousin! (Is that right? Melissa's cousin's baby.....)
The gals bundle up for a walk in the chilly snowy morning. Note the little chair up on the table in the background. Our once innocent and immobile baby has turned into a mega climber these days....tables, chairs, toilets, you name it -- vertical is her game. Driving her frazzled parents to put all the chairs away and leaving her poor brother to wander around saying "where can I sit?"
Chair-less, Louis marvels his latest masterpiece. Jason dusted off his Fisher-Price Construx toys from when he was a wee pup and showed Louis how to build like a champ. Here you have the winged hydro-mobile.
