A final celebration

We celebrated Christmas with Troy's mom on New Years Day.  We went up after church, had a nice dinner of grilled steaks (Troy likes this grilling in the winter thing now!) and opened gifts.  We stayed the night and spent part of Monday soaking up some Grandma time.  Since returning home Timothy usually asks how many sleeps until we go again and then informs us that it is three.  We just agree with him. :-)

Timothy's big surprise was a new Lightning McQueen bike.  And lucky for him Grandma Judy let him ride it in the house a little.  It promptly went in the garage at home!

Teresa being the animal (and specifically dog) lover found that Grandma Judy's dog Simon had a very cozy little bed.  And notice in her lap is a small pile of animals from the nativity set that Teresa took a liking to.

Teresa got some new animal books for Christmas...she loves animals and she loves books, so it doesn't get much better.  Except when she has someone willing to read to her.  Here she used her sweet charm to get Troy's uncle Davey to read!

It wouldn't be a complete trip to Grandma Judy's without some time playing on the kitchen counter and trying to wear her glasses!

This past week Timothy did get a chance to ride his bike outside.  Crazy winter we are having--bike riding in the middle of January!
