Winter ushers many sniffles and sneezes to our house. Between sopping runny noses, coughing, and trying to play in the snow,

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....
December 19 was also a big day for news breaking...
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.....)
