Blogging, I mean....Just kidding! Laura here, to update and get back on track!
Since Thanksgiving, lots has happened, so let us begin....
First, we had Elsa, Emma and Ella over to play with Colby and played "How Many Toddlers Can You Cram into the Front Hall before Someone Gets Hurt," which incidentally is 10 minutes, Ella took a spill and Colby took the corner of the door to the face--endless fun and danger :)
Christmas was hectic and crazy. We had Auntie Carrie and Uncle David in town to spend time with and be merry. Then, the we dashed off to NH to see Grandma Nennie, Grumpy, Kate and Barry and Arlo. THEN, on the way home from NH, we had the wonderful opportunity to visit Mommy Mags and Tess. Sorry Paul, we missed you! Now for the pics!
Snow Day: Colby imitates Randy from A Christmas Story.
Not a fan of the frigid cold and unappreciative of the lovely picturesque snow, Colby stayed for one photo op and then it was back inside the house.
Saag Aloo and some Garlic Naan, anyone? Colby helps Auntie Carrie and Uncle David order some delcious pre-Christmas take-out.
"Jingle bells, Batman smells, Robin laid an egg....." Colby played the piano on Christmas Eve to get the festivities going! On Colby: a Grammy Collins original. On Joe: clothes he usually wears for meetings ;) hence, his discomfort.
Hugs are good! Cousin Arlo, "the Snuggle-Bug" gives the cutest, cuddly hugs. Colby loved them. And so did Arlo's Auntie :)
Two smart cookies: Holiday Inmate #1 (Arlo is #2!) making gingerbread with her Grandma Nennie during Cooking Time.
Here are Colby and Arlo being pulled in a sled in the driveway of the October House. Arlo was assuming a more laid-back stance, while Colby tried to decide if she liked sledding or not....
Next is another Colby and Arlo picture. We were trying to get the "cute grandkids" shot, but this one was funny. I think they were looking at the upside down Christmas tree that Grandma and Grumpy rigged. Is it going to fall? It is suspended by magic--who knows?!
And here they are at the Dover Children's Museum. They had a blast. Colby is thinking, "Yes, we can share Cherrios, but I will be needing the snack cup back...."
And last but not least, here is the Collicki Family with the newest member to the McMorrow Family. Cute baby Tess, she was such a trooper, even when we made her Mom bundle her up like a sherpa to take us to the airport!
If you're noticing something strange....Yes, I have dyed my hair dark brown. I love it. Just wanted to mention it if it was on the tip of your tongue.
Well, Mother Nature sure buried us with snow this weekend! Did that stop us from hanging out and sledding--heck no!
More New Year's Highlights! Our friends, the Stanos and Becks came over for THE party of the year. We danced, ate and had a blast. 9pm is the new midnight--unless you're Elsa, in which you almost make it and then immediately crash on your mom! Here's to another year of happy and healthy memories!

Thanksgiving was fantastic! We had lots of family over during the long weekend. Guest stars include, Grandma Nennie, Grumpy (Michael), Grammy and Poppi Collins, the Stanos with extra special guest star Brighton Sawyer Stano and of course, us Collickis.
And then Elsa and Colby had some fun at the new art table as well....
It was a great day had by all! Thank you to everyone who came to dinner and the lovely and tasty dishes you brought! This has been such a wonderful tradition. Carrie and David, you were missed greatly, we love you.
