Somersaults and Vampires

Lucas has been practising his somersaults...and he's getting good. Very hard to catch on camera though!

The vampire is back. Well, he never left, he just took a break, I guess. He got him good this time, blood and all. I decided that every vampire victim deserves a cupcake for dinner :)

Terrible lighting...but terribly cute!

I asked him to say "cheese".

Snow Fun!

" Let's test this thing out on 'Bunny'."

"I've fallen, and I can't get up!"

Getting a tow from "Auntie" Louise.


The. Most. Serious. Boy.

"Hmm, where to next?"

"Need any help, Dad?"

I. Love. That. Face!

Mr. Brown Eyes himself!

Table Manners

Despite the sullen face, he was pretty proud to sit at the 'big' table to eat his grapes!

Such Fun

Coley, Gary, and Madisyn came for a visit today! The kids had soooo much fun playing together. It was great to see, as up until now, they have pretty much just done 'their own thing'.

Ball time!

Such fun!

All smiles!

Ruuuuun!

Stuffed animal toss!

Paige Visits!

Paige came over for the day on Wednesday! I think Lucie made a new best friend.

Lucie (and sometimes Finn) looove laying in the warm laundry pile. Paige had so much fun loading it all up on top of them!

Cousins, watching TV. Lucas tried to be around his big cousin as much as he could :)

"Auntie, can you pleeeease stop taking my picture?"

Christmas Cars and Mess!

Lucas got these cars from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas, and because he got sooo much stuff, we decided to put them away for another day. Well, just a week later, we pulled them out! It was like Christmas all over again!
"Hmm, which one shall I choose?"

Dangerous driver!

What our house looks like some days. This particular day was especially messy...and this was only 45 minutes after Nathan arrived. Those boys just wanted everything out!

Christmas 2010

Boy was Lucas shocked to see the presents under the tree on Christmas morning! The first thing he did was grab one, and run to Pat to show him what he found! Then, he saw the stocking. Such decisions to make~"should I see what's in the stocking, or rip open those presents?" He fluttered from one place to another, trying to figure it all out.
Wow, he was sure one spoiled boy! I think we need to clean out the baby toys and make room for all the fun new things! Thank you again, to everyone!

First up: Thomas the train!
Back to the stocking. "Hmm, what's in here?"

'Testing out' his new car on the couch. As you may recall, he likes to drive his cars, trucks, trains, etc. on the couch. So, of course, with each and every new one, he raced off to the couch!

Rip, rip, what will it be?

That boy loves his new school bus!

What a big present for a little boy!

After a failed-attempt at a nap, it was off to Grandma and Grandpa's for presents and dinner!

I don't think Paige liked her Barbie glam jet from Grandma and Grandpa! She doesn't look excited at all! So cute!

Cooking up some vegetables. That's about the closest he comes to eating broccoli and peas!

"Pleeeease take this out of the box!!!"

Looking very sleepy, but loving his new trucks from Uncle Allan!

What's inside this one, Grandma?

Getting some help from Grandpa on the next one. Looks like Grandpa had a tough time too!

"Oooooh, Thomas the train!"

Chit chatting on his new cell phone.

Can you get a 5 year old and a 21 month old to sit still for ONE picture?

Nope.

Such torture.

Something very interesting is going on there! Oh, electronics.

Hmm, this girl looks nice.

Kiss, kiss.

A great Christmas was had by all, especially the kiddies. Once complete tiredness set in, it was time to run........and run........and run. And yell........and yell.......and yell. It was so nice to see Paige and Lucas having such fun together, and gives us a little peek at the years to come. Cousins. Such fun!

Merry Christmas everyone!
