New Years Day

We started 2009 with a rolling start! The kids got new bikes on New Years Day and they spent all day riding them. They look so cute on those little things, especially Logan who is only 2 and is riding like a pro!

Playing in the snow at the cabin Christmas Break

This is our "little" snowman we built, the snow was pretty icy and it was difficult to accomplish even this little thing.

The kids wanted to continue sledding the following day so they took turns pulling each other around on the sled.

When they got tired of pulling each other Larry pulled them.

Christmas at Bob and Connies

Acting out the Nativity has become an annual tradition at Larry's families house. All of the children and some of the adults dress up to act it out. The rest of use participate in singing and watching these precious moments when our children are learning so much about our Saviors birth.
Logan was a Wise Man and Larry was a Shepard
Peyton along with her cousins Allie and Lindsey and her aunt Christy were angels.
Larry can never keep a straight face while doing things like this, he always likes to add his sense of humor to everything he does... just one of the many reasons why I love him so much. He keeps life fun!

Christmas Morning

Logan is continuing to work on his Thomas the Train collection and loved getting more train pieces.
Peyton is in love with horses and that is all she wanted for Christmas, this horse "Skittles" is a very special present from her Grandpa.
Tim is going to Iraq in March, so we all pitched in and he got an Ipod for those long boring moments in between the exciting ones.
Nana and Tim spent Christmas Eve and Grandpa joined us early in the morning so they could watch the kids open their gifts on Christmas.

Tim is in town for Christmas, it is so wonderful to see him! He looks so amazing!
This is our family picture with my mom and her dog Daisy, sister Amy her husband Tony, my brother Tim and then us.

Santa's Elf

A week before Christmas Santa's little Elf dropped off Christmas pajamas for the kids. As usual they ran to the door as the doorbell rang and they were so excited to find two little presents on the door step. They raced inside and opened them as quick as possible. Although they were already in pajamas for the night of course they insisted on changing into their new "Santa Pajamas" right away.
