The Christmas Sweater

This is the sweater that Grandma Coral knitted for Alex for Christmas. It makes up for the pink sweater with the kangaroo on it she started knitting for me 25 years ago and finally gave up on. :)

This is Alex saying "cheese!"

Happy New Year!

Kerri, Jill and I (and baby Eli in Kerri's tummy!)

Mattei Family Christmas

Obviously there aren't many flattering photos and that's why I've only chosen these three.

He would not be bothered to look at the camera.

The "bounce-back racer." It's my favorite toy.

Great Grandma & Grandpa

Because snowballs are for throwing at trash cans...

Cook Family Christmas

12/29/09 Our Cook family Christmas. We welcomed Aunt Kate as an official member and had fun playing games and opening dinner. Alex played "Santa" this year, although was distracted most of the time by his huge, growing pile of loot. Let's just say he's spoiled and he likes it!

A little pre-Christmas fun.

Aunt Kate (it's official!) and Alex playing air hockey.

Jesse and Seth battled it out.
