Ho Ho Ho!

The holidays were so much fun this year. We had an early celebration with Will & Stefan. It was so great to have everyone together.




Auntie Gabelle was here for the week and it was so nice to spend time with her...we miss her already.





Then we got into the spirit by reading "Night before Christmas." It was a special recorded book that Auntie Va Va got for the boys with Nonna's voice recorded reading the story. Dennie was fascinated by it and rather than having her read it in person he wanted to hear the recording. Such a great gift!



We left out cookies, carrots, & celery for Santa and his reindeer....uh oh looks like someone else go to them first!



We tried to get some cute shots of the boys together....which was interesting



Somebody got caught being naughty! Sorry Simon...



Time to open presents!





Look what Uncle Claw got for Auntie VaVa :-)



Here is Dennie getting his first present from Santa & baby Jacks with his sweet smile...





It was wonderful to be together and experience the magic of Christmas. We are so lucky. Happy Holidays to all!

Enjoying the sweetness of the Holidays!

Happy 5 months!

The First Snow

Let it snow! We had the first snow of the winter and Dennie was really excited and couldn't wait to get out and play!

Such a good helper



Yum...this tastes good!




Cozy little bear

Happy Thanksgiving 2010

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving and always. We were lucky enough to have Uncle Pat & Shannon visit us for a few days. It was so nice to see them after so long and the boys really loved spending time with them.








We celebrated Thanksgiving with Auntie VaVa, Uncle Claw, Simon, & Nonna. Everyone shared something they were thankful for and we all had a good laugh when we asked Dennie what he was thankful for and he said..."more cookies!" We had a great time and topped it off with a dance party....there were even a couple of indians and pilgrims there too!

Play Time!

Playing at the park-Jackson's first swing ride! Working with his new tool set These boys have so much fun together. It is amazing to see them interacting and really connecting with each other. Here's a few videos of them playing together. (I couldn't choose my favorite so I had to post them all!)

Happy 4 months Jackson

The months are flying by. You are changing so fast. We had your 4 month doctor's visit and you are doing great. You are a healthy guy weighing 18.2 lbs and 25 inches. Your head strength is getting better and better. Pretty soon you'll be starting solids...and I have a feeling you're gonna like them.



You were a pumpkin for your first halloween with Simon. Such cute little pumpkin pies!



You loved spending time with your Grandma Nana & Nonna




And of course your brother kept you laughing and smiling




Here's a few videos to enjoy!

Brothers in the bath



Lots of Laughs!

It's Elmo Time!

Dennie's 2nd birthday party was a hit. Elmo even made an appearance! The kids loved dancing and singing with Elmo and although Dennie was a little intimidated....he was pretty excited to have Elmo visit for his birthday.







Both Dennie & Jackson got to spend a lot of time with their Grandparents and Uncle Sam this week. You can see in the picture the adoration that Dennie has for Sam and Jackson for Dennie. It was a great week and we are thankful for all the helping hands!
