Little boy looking out at the snow.

He loves these "silly cards" from his Gabe grandparents. They are just matching cards of kids from different countries, but Charlie invented a game where he looks at a card, then shouts really loudly, "What?!!! Czech Republic?!!!" Toby laughs and laughs! Hence, they are "silly cards".

This is them 8 months ago. Alice had glasses, no braces, and short hair.

Charlie loves making omelets.

Toby's other favorite thing from Christmas is his playdoh oven set and his Bluey action figures. He plays with them up at the counter multiple times a day.
