A Royal Christmas and a Kingly New Year!

The year 2008 has come and gone here in the Kingdom,

and many goings-on have been reported.

The King and his loyal subjects were quite busy preparing

for Christmas and New Year's,

and, though they were slowed down a bit

by the whopping 25 inches of snow in December,

they came through successfully!

Here are some pictures to catalogue our exploits:

The King and the Queen Mommy in front of the Christmas tree!

Does the King approve of the tree?

We think so!

Studiously examining one of his Christmas presents. . .


And lounging inside of his new toybox - thanks, Nonno!

The King and the Royal Babbo.

The Queen Mommy's two favorite men!

Psst! Check out my blocks!

The King is pleased.

Interesting contraption, this singing cookie jar/shape sorter. . .

Royal hands!

Out to brunch. . . I've got my eye on that Nonno and Nonna. . .

My new favorite activity: flicking my toys with my hand!
