Happy New Year!!!

This year we went to Ben and Carly's house for New Years. We thought we could celebrate on east coast time and ring in the New Year at 10pm. We didn't think the kids could stay awake until midnight. Alex had so much fun while we were there. I wasn't sure how he was going to do since he was a little under the weather. But as always he played until it was time to go home. He also thought Ruby was hilarious. I think Rudy has some competition. Alex also exchanged gifts with Luke and Emma. He got the cutest Sesame Street book along with many other gifts from Luke. Emma gave him a little people garage and a shirt from baby gap. Thank you so much!!! The gifts were the best ... Laughing at Ruby.
Look at my little people garage from Emma


I really like this bike that Luke has



The three amigos. We can never get all of them to look at us so we can get a picture


What is that daddy??



Happy New Year!!!

We were so excited for Alex to celebrate Christmas. Santa and his helpers had been doing a lot of shopping for Alex this year. We opened up presents with Grammy and Grandpa. Wes also made his famous Christmas morning breakfast (eggs, pancakes, biscuts and more). waiting to go downstairs. dressed in his new robe from Uncle Bruce and Aunt Judy

Christmas Eve

We had dinner at our house on Christmas Eve. My parents were in town and Aunt Abby and Uncle Tri came over. The Larrabee family also joined us this year including Carly's sister, Candace, and her fiance, Bobby. We had a great time!!!

Carly brought the same pj's for Luke to wear that Alex had. It was so funny to see them dressed alike. Then Abby started a new game of pushing Alex around in the crate. Luke took a turn pushing him around too.









We tried to get a photo of us...the kids did not want to cooperate
