Polly has volunteered to eat a piece of cake in your honor. West has volunteered to throw some on the floor.

COOKIE (DECORATING) WOGSTER
We attended a Cookie Decorating Party prior to Christmas and both The Wog and The Doodle got in on the action.
The Wog was a very intense little cookie decorator:
The Doodle loved pouring out all of the red sugar (which our gracious hostess actually allowed him to do), but he did not love the spoonful of red sugar he spontaneously sampled:
The Wog's cookies were particularly "festive":
Watching Rudolph (or "Runolph" as The Wog calls him) after the cookies were thoroughly bedecked!

SEVEN FISHES, SEVEN COUSINS, THE WOG AND THE DOODLE
A new Christmas Eve tradition commenced this year with a "Seven Fishes" meal at Aunt Gloria and Uncle Joe's house. We all enjoyed the chance to visit with extended family, and The Wog loves every chance she has to spend with her Teti cousins.
Uncle Joe led a "Lessons & Carols," alternating the nativity story with select Christmas songs. The Wog did not know the included carols, but it didn't stop her: she and cousin Mary performed several interpretive dances, instead.
That is, when they weren't partaking of the pistachios:
Len also got in on the creative interpretations:
Caroling cousins:
The Doodle loves a good staircase. (Susan Somers has nothing on him--he is indeed a Stairmaster!)
Festive scenes: (I have to put in multiples of all of these pictures since it is impossible to capture nine adorable kids looking their cutest all at once!)

For the record (from L to R), Peter holding Jimmy; John holding Leo; Holly holding Liam; Mary, Polly & West.)
More multiples (with multiples!):
(Clearly something red was eaten prior to this photo shoot.)
If it's not immediately apparent, The Wog is quite fond of John:
But there's plenty of love for Mary, too!
We always knew The Doodle was a monkey:
The Wog through the bars:
Sweet Baby James:
Feasting cousins:
The Wog took a special fancy to new cousin Jimmy:
(But who wouldn't?):
The Wog, Holly, Aunt MB and Jimmy:

...AND A DOODLY NEW YEAR!
We rang in 2009 at a local restaurant's New Years Eve party for children. They do the whole celebration but from 3-6 PM so the little ones get to ring in the year too...just a little bit earlier. The Wog participated in her very first limbo, and The Doodle hit the dance floor!

CATCHING UP WITH CHRISTMAS
We have been up to lots over the past two weeks--cookie decorating, visits to Connecticut and New Jersey (including a smoking car and traveling through a snowstorm with the car windows open--two separate and yet equally "exciting" adventures), and Christmas Eve and Christmas. Lots of pictures on their way, but in the meantime: Happy New Year!
