Goodbye tree, hello new year

Max continues to beg for the Christmas tree to remain in tact because, "it's so so beautiful!" but despite his pleas it came down today.  He was handsomely rewarded for his emotional distress with some sports ball erasers.  The good news is that even though Christmas [and Hanukkah and Max's birthday] are over, the holiday loot can stay out all year long!

Early morning play sesh with the newest editions to the playroom 

Tiny chair or giant Max?

It is all fun and games until...

...it's not [for Kira].

Poor Kira is still sick, but still blowing kisses with her little red chapped lips.

By 6am Max resolved to wake up earlier, eat unhealthier, and never leave the house without a tattoo on his face. 

No interest in the hot cocoa, but quite excited about the cup.  

Max loves taking pictures on his new tablet (wonder where he gets that from...) so we played a "game"- go around the house and take pictures of your favorite things.  The only thing he wanted to take a picture of was the tree!
