This is our first year to have a Magic Elf come for a visit. This is Ryan putting out the crackers and snowflake water to lure him to visit. If you don't know what I'm talking about just visit
elf-magic.com. It's a lot of fun.

This was the first night our Magic elf came to visit. His name is Rocco.

Rocco was playing like he was Noah and he got all of Ryan's animals and lined them up marching to a boat. He also brought Ryan some animal cookies for a treat.

Rocco was missing the snow from the North Pole so he decorated the bathroom into a winter wonderland.

Happy Thanksgiving!


Ryan is imitating Aiden's smile.

Gobble Gobble!

Ryan's class at school dressed up like Indians and Pilgrims.

We stayed home for Thanksgiving this year. Here is how the boys spent the morning while I was cooking the Thanksgiving meal.











Happy Halloween!


Pumpkin carving and decorating.

Ryan is the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and his best friend Hudson is Transformer Optimus Prime! This was taken at our church's Trunk-or-Treat.
Aiden made a perfect little skeleton!
We took Ryan to see Disney On Ice...can you say he was a bit excited!


First taste of cotton candy.

The feature to the show was the Incredibles. This is our little "Dash"











Ryan's 4th Birthday


Yes that was my attempt at a camo cake for his GI Joe birthday party.



Ryan and his best buds Seaver, and Hudson.
