January 2011 - Continued

Our favorite thing that we did in January was taking a trip to Great Wolf Lodge with my parents and my sister's family! Grandpa and Grandma rented a 15 passenger van so we could all ride together and the whole weekend was TONS of fun!!

Reuben was so excited he couldn't even nap...
until about 10 minutes before we arrived.

The backseat boys!

Reuben checking out the cabin he and Levi got to share.

The best part - the waterpark!!

Happy New Year - January 2011

Christmas day - just the four of us.
Stockings first!

New shirts for the boys

New PJs! Excavators for Levi...

The boys weren't so sure about diaper boxes for gifts!

Until they figured out what was inside the boxes - sleeping bags!!

Merry Christmas 2010

December 2010 - Continued

I doubt many people actually check our blog anymore...BUT, in an effort to document our family happenings (mostly for my memory-keeping), I'm going to try and post some monthly pics to bring us up to date. It might take me a few days to get caught up, but I'm hoping after that to be a more regular blogger again :)

The rest of December was filled with Christmas festivities:

The boys and I made a clay pot nativity set (or activity set, as Levi called it).



The angel, baby Jesus, Joseph and the urgent Mary (according to Levi)

The finished nativity set - plus a helicopter (added by Reuben - he thought the pilot wanted to see baby Jesus too!)
