Merry Christmas!!

We wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!! We are thankful during this holiday time and enjoy the spirit of giving even though we are far away from some of our loved ones. 2010 promises to be a better year with lots of smiles and love. :-)

Snack Time!

Cookies and Chocolate Milk...YUM!!!

An Attempt to capture a holiday photo

My children are adorable but when you want them to "pose" for a photo it becomes a silly mess! They are cute anyway! Here are some "out-takes".

Christmas Pageant 2009

Zander had his Christmas show the other night and he was a shepherd. He was shy and did not sing much but at least he looked cute. :)

Start the Decorating

We bought the tree and unpacked the decorations from the attic. Zander is so excited for Christmas...the tree, the music, the candy canes, the reindeer, the presents and most of all, SANTA!!! It will probably take a couple of weekends to get it all done but we had a good start. Zander was standing on the box and watching the neighbors put up their lights! (As he was rocking out with his air guitar!!)

Play Date w/ Sebastian

We met Zander's friend Sebastian and his mom for some fun in the park. The boys loved to swing and play tag while Owen liked to swing and watch the boys go crazy! Mamma conveniently was not in any of the photos. :)

In the Big Top!

St. John's County hosted the Loomis Bros. Circus and we had to meet our buddies and catch the show! There were horses, dogs, tigers, elephants, strong men, dancers, a (scary) clown and all the wacked out palatka/st. Augustine/elkton audience you could handle! As you can see, the kids had a good time!

Camp Out

We spent a cool November Saturday camping at a friends plot of land and had a TON of FUN! No toilets...No Problem! Owen was not too impressed with sleeping in the camping cot but we managed to survive...barely. :) Sorry to everyone else.

Snaps of Mr. Owen

At least no one can argue that he is no a happy boy! He has an infectious belly laugh that always makes us smile.

Happy Birthday to Owen!

Owen turned ONE this month so we celebrated with Oupa Gene and a few of our neighbors. It was a small affair but a nice one. :)
