Polar Express

My mom took us to ride the Polar Express. We had a great time. 

This is not too bad of a picture with Santa. Both of the boys had a little bit of a hard time with him this year. :)

Chase Birthday Festivities

Yummy Pizza. Birthday dinner of choice.

He was very much looking forward to this construction cake and still talks about.

Bliss. What could be better than chocolate and construction vehicles when you are 3!

Christian's introduction to chocolate and cake. He didn't get any on his birthday. He has such cruel parents...

Have you ever stuck your nose in vaseline and then tried to get a pom pom to stick to the end. If not, you have got to play this game. It ranks high for it's entertainment value. Not many of us could do it without gagging on the ribbon.

Such a great picture of these guys!

Pinching pennies. This game is a riot. I purposefully left some people's picture off of here so as not to embarrass them. My mom just looks cute. 

Present time! Chase had a wonderful birthday and was thrilled to have everyone there to celebrate it with him.

Christmas with the Sears

We had Christmas with the Sears before we left for Utah. Christian was enjoying himself. He always smiles a lot, but he could not stop smiling. I love Nicole's face in this picture. 

Just to prove my point. Danielle looks cute too. 

They are both taking this so seriously. :)

Classic Christmas Picture

These were all so adorable it was hard to pick just one.

These boys both love music and singing around the piano!

Tree Lighting in Boston

Our first Christmas celebration, the tree lighting in Boston.

Family Vacation and Halloween

 Steve took a few days off in October so we could spend some time together. Here we are in Western MA with the beautiful fall leaves.

Here we are on top of Mt. Greylock, the highest point in MA at 3, 489 feet.

Christian started crawling in October at 10-months-old. 

Here we are at the aquarium on Halloween.

Our race car driver Chase before he went trick or treating.

Christian at 9 months

Christian loves climbing on this bear that Aunt Nicole gave to Chase.

Christian has got to be the messiest eater out there!

My boys are usually not ones to get into trouble because they tend to migrate to whatever room I'm in. I guess Chase is getting older and more creative because here he is surrounded by the couscous that he was throwing on the bear as well as all around the room. Christian was laughing hysterically. Oh, boys...

Here he is climbing into our dresser. Don't you love our school desk dresser. That thing is sturdy!
