Belated Posting 2: New Year's Day 2012

Yet another belated posting.  With today being the third Monday in February, along with the US Presidents' Day holiday, it's about time to boot SD officially into 2012.  I've been hovering between 2011 and 2012 for far too long already.

New Year's Day represented a small payback effort on the part of the grandparents (us!) to host their progeny, who had been treating them regularly to delicious meals.  So everyone stopped by our home to have a New Year's dinner and to watch the Baltimore Ravens football team play the Cincinnati Bengals.  As can be seen here, there were lots of hard core Ravens fans in the assembled bunch.  Fortunately, the Ravens won the game on New Year's Day, 24-16.  They were not so fortunate in the playoffs and thus missed the Super Bowl this year.
Sweet Momma H took over as photographer for this photo so that HWMBO, photographer for the previous assembly, could also participate in the photo group.  The two littlest family members, Princes Tyger and Lightning, got cricks in their necks from looking up so much.  They thought they had happened upon a race of giants, having never seen so many tall people grouped in the same small place at the same time.
Little Prince Lightning spent most of his non-photo-session and non-eating time attempting to climb the stairwell, fortunately carpeted, although he had lots of caretakers to ensure that he wouldn't fall.  But he was happiest of all with a height boost, even if it was a comparatively small one.
He always feels safe in Sweet Momma H's arms, after all.
