Happy New Year

our New Years celebration

We went to an indoor soccer game on New Years day. It was awesome!

One of us slept through it though..... 

Merry Christmas

Apparently I've been slacking on blog duties!! Here's a little look into our Christmas!

Mike asked Santa for a racetrack and Santa built a great one!!

Big brother Mike shows little sister Liz the unwrapping ropes!

They each got a sleeping bag, but its much more fun to share!

Santa gave Liz a whole set of stuff to help her take care of her babies and her monkey!

More unwrapping!

The Elmira Christmas parade

For the last lots of years (maybe even before Michael was born??) we have headed to Elmira for Thanksgiving. We always head to the Christmas parade on Friday morning. Its really hokey. Really REALLY hokey. (sorry mom. It is.) But the kids like it!

(we knew some of the dalmations!) 

Liz and her guy

I would say Lizzy's favorite person is her Bap-Ba.... She didn't attach to him right away (much to his dismay from what I hear) but now they are best buddies... 

Watching Elmo on the iPad

Watching the parade go by

Watching movies on the computer

Liz picked a pretty swell guy. I don't tell him often enough but I love him a lot and am thankful I got such a great dad! (and that he's really good at building stuff!!!!)

She really is one of my favorite little ones.. Can you tell why??

Lunch time

Checking out the Christmas decor

Look at me. I don't have to sit in a highchair anymore!

Huggin' her feet

playing with Uncle Steve and cousin Brayden... They didn't make it into the photo though!!!

Popcorn, PJ's and books

Mike's school hosted a popcorn, PJ and book party. The kids went to school one evening in PJ's with their favorite books and got to eat popcorn... 

Mikey loves his popcorn!!

Lizzy loves her books!

An older sibling got roped into reading for the kids. As did I... and then the principal did as well. It was lots of fun!!!

Curly haired Candy Corn (they are rarely seen out of the wild)

Would you give these clowns candy?
