A Few Pictures

Christmas morning, Alex brought out enormous rawhide treats for the dogs. Ruby, the little dog on the right, instantly went for the enormous one. Nova, on the left, leaped onto Alex to get to the smaller one. 

Alex created an enormous cake in the shape of a Dalek from the Dr. Who series.

Eleven layers of cake!

James just chillin' at the Ward Christmas Dinner.

Christmas Eve, Erin brought over matching dog sweaters for the pups. They left them on (yay!), and I'll be using that on Nova once the weather actually turns cold. 

Alex had some grad photos taken at the U of I Conservatory. This one is his favorite.

Nova found a spot of sun in the front room.

We traveled to Rockford for New Year's to spend time with Bobby's brother's family. We tried a new-to-us restaurant called Beef a Roo.

Fun at the natural history museum in Rockford.

Nova feeling lazy and playful all at once.
