Happy New Year! a.k.a. William vs the Snowman

We had a nice, quiet New Year's together in Macungie. On New Year's Eve, we had crab au gratin and other goodies, watched a movie, had champagne, and watched the ball drop.

William slept peacefully through the midnight hour, and woke up happy and ready for the new year on January 1st. It was 50 degrees out, so we went to the park in the morning to get outside for a bit. There was still some snow on the ground, so Daddy and W built his first snowman!

William was not too sure what he thought about this terrifying (albeit baby-sized) new thing.

Hmm. I'll just keep my distance.

Um... what IS this?

Frantically waving "bye-bye" to him!

Stare-down

Save me, Mommy!

To redeem ourselves, he did have fun, he just wasn't thrilled about the abominable snowman.


After this encounter, we watched the PSU game at home (yikes!) and had the traditional pork chops, potatoes, and sauerkraut for dinner.


William learned to politely give Georgia (who stood still like a statue - what a good girl) a bite of his grilled cheese sandwich. She's starting to slowly come around to him - sits still for a minute to let him pet her; it's pretty cute.

Wishing everyone a happy and healthy year in 2011!
