February!?

I guess I better post the last pics of January...

Nana and Jonny baked a cake

Sometimes he needs a little directing...

Not ours!

It was great!

Ingesting

The school "ingests" the four elementary kids (L-R): Lexi, David, Remi, and Jonny. And Nana and Papa ingest a wonderful lunch at Atmosphere Gastropub with a new Goat Cheese Jar (green, red, white in the jar with crostini) on the menu. And since they are amongst the few places in town with Sazerac Rye, it was Sazeracs around (the cocktail)!

Last Couple Days

I'm not sure how all this happened over the last couple of days...

At a conference!

Cheddar Bay Biscuits, just for fun.

Lexi was very proud of the "poster" she made for Nana.

We've gotten some snow lately. Just a little.

A curious little chinchilla.

The newest member of the fleet. Mini Cooper.

You All OK??

Uncle Rob sent us the greatest meme (see below) after today's KC Chiefs divisional playoff win, in overtime, over the Buffalo Bills. "You all OK???" It was a great game and got to be more and more of a nail-biter as it went on. The last few minutes and the OT were crazy. We had to pull everyone down off the ceiling after KC made the winning touchdown. I'd never seen such an eruption from folks in a living room. During calmer parts of the afternoon, Janice and Fina whipped up some homemade pasta!

 

Various Arts Lately

It may be a stretch, but I'm classifying all the various activities shown here over the last couple of days as "arts."

Mixology Arts

Flaming...

A "Feisty Horse" after an all-play dinner at the Club

Build your own kaleidoscope

Weave your own potholder

Janice's culinary art of enchiladas.

The art of electronic playtime

Frosted Everything

We had a frost storm overnight. There were some flurries, but mostly it was humidity freezing out of the air onto everything. Beautiful!

Bristlecone Pine, a fave.

Lexi, "time to re-plant."

Cherry Chip Cake

Nana and Lexi baked the cherry chip cake, Tracy's favorite, for this little celebration! I hear the request is chicken piccata for the birthday dinner...

(Valentine's Day is coming...)
