happy hanukkah. thanks for the gelt, nama.

kale found a new bff at riley's preschool potluck. finally some one who doesn't fall down when he hugs them.

sledding with grandparents is a good kind of sledding.

riley is ready to experience the first snow of the season up close, kale is slightly more reserved.

now that we've finished riley's batboy costume he is wondering when it will be halloween again.

puppies (in a very loosely defined way) and babies.

all eyes on kale.

katrina and kale tickle the ivories.
