Christmas 2009

Christmas at Home

We had our Christmas with the boys a weekend early as we are heading up to Minnesota this week.

Trucks!

Jack getting into his new cleaning kit- they love to "clean".

Santa's helpers

Last night while the snow was falling, we decorated our Christmas tree. Our approach this year was much different than in years past. Only one strand of lights made it safely onto the tree and about half of the ornaments. Jack and Will really enjoyed handing/throwing us the ornaments.

Thanksgiving 2009

This year Rob and Katie hosted Thanksgiving at their home in Crystal. Jack and Will climbed the stairs countless times hoping for a glimpse of a kitty.

Will loves to wear Daddy's hat.

Sock Hands

Around 7:00 or so, the boys like to take their socks off for the evening. We thought it would be funny to put the socks on their hands. Now they request it.

Halloween

Waiting for the Trick or Treaters. They liked watching for the kids, but got scared when they came to the door.
