Start the Countdown!

Tyler had been asking me daily if it was his birthday yet so we decided to make a paper chain to mark the days. Let the countdown begin!!

William is 3!

Before Christmas we helped William, Ty's BFF across the street, celebrate turning 3 years old! Here are some cute pics of Tyler and William together at past parties. They've grown up into such cute little boys! Happy Birthday Wawa!

Christmas '09

We had a great Christmas this year! On Christmas Eve, despite the winter snow storm, we traveled to Jim's parent's where we celebrated with Jim's extended family, about 50 people in all! Tyler was a ham as usual and Calvin was very agreeable since he was still a little groggy from the anesthesia. When we got home Tyler helped set out milk and cookies for Santa then it was off to bed. The next morning our family of four celebrated with Santa presents and gifts from my family. After breakfast we made our way to Jim's sister's house to celebrate again. After presents the big kids took Tyler tubing and skiing. He had a blast! It was great to lounge around and visit for a whole day. My favorite Christmas memory is cooking live lobsters sent to us by my grandma with Jim on Christmas Eve. Jim actually did the cooking. I was just there for moral support. They turned out great and were a hit the next day. Enjoy these pics. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
