New Years Eve Party!

Here is our wild New Years Eve Party! Drinking milk and watching Ratatouille! Pete is rocking Mason while Steph is sleeping in our room. I think Ewan made it to about 9:30 and Lucas only 8:00....they slept through the New Year. But Pete, Adam and Tyler walked down Allen to Colorado Blvd at Midnight to ring in the New Year. Everyone down there was going nuts and throwing tortillas and marshmallows and apparently Pete threw a marshmallow at a taxi, according to Tyler...he thought it was a good one.

Delaynie

we had so much fun meeting Delaynie, who is for now the only girl in the family. we had five babies among us, it was a little crazy, but lots of fun. Tyler and Ewan trying to play with Delaynie's walker. look at lucas all bundled up and snuggly.

More Snow!

We took a trip to the snow up in bishop and mammoth and also to meet Anna's cousin's little girl, Delaynie, who is six months old. Here is the frosty chalet in lone pine. it is closed now, but when I was a little girl it used to be our favorite stop and whenever we drove this way we would get chocolate covered ice cream cones and play in the river.




Here are Pete and Ewan sledding and Ewan trying to walk in the snow. He kept getting stuck because it was so deep. There is Stephanie with Mason trying to walk in the snow.




Uncle Adam and Tyler sledding down the hill. And Lucas is worn out and taking a little nap. Ewan kept saying "more snow"...he loved sledding and didn't want to stop.

Best Christmas Ever!

we had so much fun this Christmas...Ewan had so much fun opening all the presents. He wanted to look at each one after he opened it and take it out and play with it before we moved to the next one. Lucas had fun watching it all, and getting decorated! He loved his presents too, but he will love them all more in a couple of months. For now, Ewan is showing him how to use them.
















Ewan's two favorite things were his dump truck and his little Rocket that can go in the bathtub with him. he kept loading up all his toys into the back of the truck, driving them and dumping them out...such a fun game. he wore himself out so we only made it halfway through the presents before he needed a nap.














Here we are opening up presents at Nonna's house....tickets to Disneyland is what Anna has, and Ewan a train. below is a picture of them in their stockings.

Christmas Eve Christmas!

Here is Mason looking cute in his little Christmas suit! and Lucas looking adorable too!














Here we are at Grandpa Keith(pop-pop) and Grandma Dawna's for Christmas...Ewan played with this little pop gun all day that was my dad's when he was little. We all had a great time. we had Lucilles BBQ for dinner and it was amazing! we love that place.














Here is Ewan's new tricycle....it really goes without saying that this is his favorite thing ever!...you should have seen the look on his face when he saw it! and then he wanted to go and ride it immediately, and he wanted Lucas to try it out too! And he doesn't even mind wearing the helmet, since it has Thomas the Train on it.









Ewan loved opening presents this year. He took his job very seriously and tried to get all of the wrapping paper off the present before he saw what it was. Here he is in a little chair that he got...he wanted Lucas to try it out too! and then into their "train suits"....that is what Ewan calls them. He can hardly stand to be out of it. Whenever he has to get dressed in the morning, he says " more train suit"....and then he read his favorite book this year, Room For a Little One, with Nonna and the Night before Christmas with Pop-Pop.
