Happy New Year!

Each year for New Year's Eve we have had a "family party night." We cook up a bunch of snacky goodies and played games and watched movies until the New Year rings in. Ryan actually went to bed but Daddy and I stayed up watching The Dark Night. At exactly midnight I said "Let's go to bed and finish the movie tomorrow." I'm usually a night owl but the movie didn't thrill me.

This was the first time we fed Aiden baby cereal.

We had so much fun this Christmas. It was the first year the we were actually home on Christmas morning. Ryan had a blast opening all his stuff. Some highlights were the storm trooper costume, spiderman costume, hotwheels set, batman stuff, artist easle, and of course the trampoline. We think Aiden had as much fun as Ryan too.

One quick pose before all of this loot becomes mine!

Church Christmas photos

Trying to get a photo for our Christmas cards this year was a hoot. We went up to the church where we had several decorated trees. We thought that this would be simple as pie with such a great backdrop. But trying to get all of us smiling and not spitting up at the same time was a bit challenging to say the least. Then clothes started coming off...only from the kids, thank you. Anyway, we got a couple of good shots but most of our photos are just taken at home.

These were taken the day we had Family Dedication at the church.
