Back. Still more Maxwell Christmas.

Maxwell took the wheel on the drive home.

And then on to one more exchange with his buddies Matty and Anthony Garreffa.

The Myser Christmas.

After a bout with an ice storm, we returned to C-bus in time for the Myser Christmas.

Let Christmas commence!

And so it began, with a drive from Jersey to Indiana (11.5 hours over two days). We started at Grandma Debbie's and Great Grammie's house:

Happy Holidays!

Maxwell will check back in after Christmas. Enjoy the break!

Big night out in the City.

We took Maxwell into the city last weekend to see the tree at Rockefeller Center, eat out at a great, slightly-militant vegetarian restaurant and wine bar (even the beer and wine was organic). We followed that up with a holiday party in Brooklyn. Not a bad night, Maxwell would say...


tree!

Jumping!

Maxwell was a little slow on the uptake on climbing and jumping (trust me, we're not complaining). But he's getting out of control, this is just a mild taste of his newfound ability.

The Myser's Marvelous Holiday Party - and Cookie Contest

We followed up Matty's party with our own.

And the flurry of two-year-olds continues with Maxwell's best buddy Matty's play-doh party.

Baking cookies.

It's that time of year, so Maxwell and Mommy baked a bunch of sugar cookies in preparation for our Myser Marvelous Holiday Party - And Cookie Decorating Contest.

Christmas tree(s).

Maxwell took us down to a farm in Princeton to pick out Christmas trees (yes, Mindi insisted on two this year, don't ask). We're nearly the most festive in all of the 'Ville.

The "Carseat Series"

In this series of prints, Mommy Mindi captures the emotions of a (happy) car ride:
