Almost the new year

The month of December is pretty much a blur...hopefully the photos tell the story. We had a lovely Christmas, and we want to thank everyone for the wonderful gifts. The boys have been in heaven with all the new toys and games. And a special thanks to Ron and RJ for helping Frank with some projects around the house.

And here's hoping for fewer night feedings and more clarity in the new year.

Thankful for friends

We have lots of photos from our 5 days up in Ohio for Thanksgiving. They are mainly of the kids (so many kids!) playing, paying attention to the baby, dancing, and being goofy. We tried taking some more formal family photos, with mixed results...I'm still trying to decide on one for our Christmas card. We took Zach to Build-a-Bear for his birthday and he created "Beary," while Gabe picked out lightsabers and an angry bird. The boys got their first photo booth pictures taken. Jen's grandma always hosts Thanksgiving and this was our second time in attendance, and there were about 30 people there. There was lots of leap pad and lego playing and running around craziness, but the adults were able to find some down time. We got a babysitter one night and went out to dinner. Overall a very enjoyable trip! And here are just a few of the hundreds of photos :)
