Mommy time

A quick visit from across the pond

Uncle JP was in town VERY briefly, so Snoop got to visit with him.  It's always nice to catch up and see what's happening in the UK.

This is how Snoop gives kisses... 

here he is smooching Grammy before we say "bye for now!"

Laughing and swinging...

Snoop has been talking and laughing more and more each day.  These days, it's hard to find things to laugh at while watching the nightly news, but the dismal economic times don't get Snoop down.  With Dad behind the camera egging him on, he laughs, sings and swings his little heart out! 

"You must have been a beautiful baby!"

First trip to Michigan

Okay, Christmas was over a month ago now, but it's never too late to share pictures from the holidays.  On Christmas Day, Snoop and family traveled to Michigan for a visit with Daddy's family.  It would be his first visit out to a much colder and more snowy place.  It was a lovely visit and Snoop got to meet so many new friends and members of his family.  Here are some special highlights from his first trip to Daddy's home state.

Aunt Elizabeth returned from the Peace Corps just a few days before Christmas and she finally got to meet her nephew!  Snoop's face is a little odd, but in his defense, he'd been in the car for 10 hours prior to this picture being taken!

Getting close to his Great Grandma

Daddy's Aunt Kathy gave Snoop Curious George and he immediately engaged his new friend in a staring contest!  Curious George has quickly become one of his favorites!

Meeting Josh

Getting into a card game with Grandma

The whole Campbell clan poses for a photo at the end of the visit.

So long Michigan... Don't worry, we'll be back!

Holiday highlights

At long last, we've finally found some time to share some of Snoop's holiday highlights.  

The holidays can be an exhausting time for us all, and Snoop is no exception!

Snoop is front and center will all of his cousins on Christmas Eve at Grammy and Pop's!

After a long drive to Michigan on Christmas Day, Maya and Ernie take a rare but much needed rest from wrestling, playing, and chasing each other around the house!

Snoop models a new hat... looks good, huh?

To skate or not to skate? That is the question...

Apparently Dad and Santa had an agreement this year.  Snoop got everything he needs to be the next player on Dad's hockey team!

Skates?  Check.  Gloves?  Check.

Stick?  Check.

Helmet?  Check.

Do you see a pattern forming here?

Will Snoop walk before he skates?  Not likely...

Snoop to Santa: "I've been good ALL year. Just ask my Mommy."

Bundle up! It's HOCKEY season!

Snoop was very excited for Daddy's first hockey game of the season.  He bundled up for his first trip to the rink which can be very chilly... it must be all that ice!
