Christmas 2010

What I want for Christmas... "weather that is less than 60 degress so I can wear the cool hat, scarf and gloves that Nana bought me!"

Lauren likes to take her time and open her presents with style and grace. What you don't see off to the left, is Matthew's pile of paper and boxes.

I love my Christmas pj's... thanks Nana!

Lauren got a really cool art book that shows your drawings in 3D. Kyle, Quinn, Matthew and Lauren all drew together.

Aunt Cristy bought me this FABULOUS Barbi make-up kit.

Family Feud Wii... oh, it's on!

Merry Christmas!

Grandma and her favorite gang!

We had the best Christmas. Thank you everyone!

Is Santa coming for sure?!?!?

A night out with the family.

We were invited to Opportunity Village this year with Larry's sister and her family. We had a great time and got to see so many beautiful lights!

It's not even cold yet... I just wanted to wear my hat!

We love that our cousins still like to hang out with us. Next year they are going to be in high school and may not think we are so cute. Savor the moment!

Thank you to all of our friends and family who helped us celebrate this season.

Halloween Fun

Halloween was so much fun this year. Not only did Matthew hit the candy jackpot... but Anthony, Leah, Kate and our newest cousin, Ella, came to stay!

Matthew and Ella sharing some cousin love! She is such a sweet girl and Matthew really knew how to take care of her!

Just because we have 2 cute girl cousins, we can't forget about our existing, cute boy cousins. No, that's not a grown man... it's Quinn!

Matthew and Lauren dressed to impress.

I suppose I had this one coming... "Say Yes to the Dress" is our favorite show!

Uncle Larry is the best. No, Lauren isn't holding up the "loser" sign, she's just saying that her dad is #1!

My sweet girls!

Two peas on the trampoline pod.

We had the best time ever... please come back again soon!!!

End of Summer

Matthew got a little restless sitting at home this summer so we decided to send him on his first airplane trip by himself. He headed up to WA to stay with Anthony and Leah in Seattle, Nana and Papa at the lake, and even ventured up to Vancouver BC to stay with his Tia. He barely looked back as the flight attendant took him down the jetway... "See ya, mom!"

He was able to do and see a ton of cool things while staying with his Tia. One being the Lynn Valley suspension bridge! What fun...

Yeah, that's right... I crossed that bridge!


First day of 3rd grade!
