Fork Tail Family: Whole Lotta Holidays

Thanks to a snow blizzard, the Mohr/Hall Christmas was several days longer than planned. We heard news of the weather and did our family holiday on December 23. The next day we beat the storm to Omaha for the Mohr holiday. And Christmas day was far too dangerous to leave the neighborhood (not that Jeremy and Grandpa Darrell and Grandpa Denie didn't try) so we had another day to enjoy our new toys with the Mohrs. Finally on December 26 we got to see the Halls and all the Hall aunts and uncles got to meet Lenora. As an extra Christmas miracle, Nicholas and Ashlee were liberated from Mead, Nebraska to join us. The storm abated enough that we could drive home on December 27. Of course Uncle Darren and Aunt Liz's gifts still had to arrive, extending Christmas that much longer. But that is for another post. Here's a whole bunch of pictures!
Lenora got some hair bows in her stocking.

Ernie got a toy cell phone, and immediately decided to be "Grandpa Denie Moose" (since he was wearing moose pajamas). He mostly says "Hi, come on over." making us think we must be pretty welcoming folk.

The bounty before Ernie was unleashed upon it.

Lenora got a Raggedy Anne doll from Aunt Laura, and you can see her other baby doll in the crib Grandpa Darrell made for her (it's beautiful).

Grandpa Darrell also made Ernie this awesome marble pinball game! He's pretty good at it.

And Lenora gave the g-rents each an ornament with her adorable mug wearing Mommy's first Christmas outfit.

Tummy timing with Aunt Laura.

I bet you can guess this toy pedal firetruck was a preeeeeetty big hit with the Ernster.

Amy and Chris held Lenora's attention quite a while. She decided she likes all her Hall relatives immediately and stayed awake to flirt and coo. Heck, just staying awake is a pretty big feat for this baby.
