The COLTS are going to the SUPER BOWL!!!

Brian and I had good friends in town this past weekend and were all able to go to the final playoff game and see the Colts WIN!!! It was such a great game and we were so excited to be there. The Colts win was  the perfect ending to a great weekend with our friends.

For those of you wondering about our kiddos...our wonderful babysitter had Michael, Logan, and Aiden plus our friends little boy and girl for the whole day! She did great with all 5 kids and we will REALLY miss her next year when she goes to college! 

Tuesday Fun

Michael and Logan play soccer on Tuesdays and we ususally go to lunch before hand. Soccer pictures are coming soon but I thought these were too funny not to post.

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Just when I thought all three boys were sound asleep during naptime, I heard a loud thud, then crying, then found Logan with a huge gash in his ear. I took all three boys to the ER to have Logan's ear checked out. He lucked out without needing any stitches but was not too happy about the large blue bandage they wrapped around his head. We had to leave it on for 24 hours and then just apply some medicine to his poor ear. After we got home the boys told me "no more monkeys jumping on the bed!" :)

Go Colts!

Brian and I have been to 3 games so far this season. The last one wasn't such a great game but we still had a lot of fun. We will be watching this weekend to see if they can make it closer to playing in the Super Bowl!

One more Christmas

Our last Christmas celebration was with my parents, Grandma, and sister's family. The kids had a lot of fun opening more presents and all played pretty well together. We had a nice dinner and enjoyed watching the boys open the last of their Christmas presents. It was such a nice Christmas....I can't wait till next year:)

SANTA!!!

Michael and Logan made out their own list to Santa this year. They came up with some pretty funny things for Santa to bring them....

Michael:

1. race track and cars

2. a monster

3. a teddy bear and puppy for Aiden

4. a roller coaster

5. a train

Logan:

1. race track and cars

2. a hippo

3. a dog

4. a bag

5. a train

Aiden (with help from M and L)

1. a puppy

1. a teddy bear

3. a train

4. race cars

Santa did a pretty good job being creative to come up with everything on their lists plus a few surprises of his own. Unfortunately he waited till the very last minute to finish assembling and wrapping the gifts so it was a late night for him and his elf:) Luckily the boys slept in a little and we had a great time watching them open their gifts. Santa even brought breakfast and made coffee before he left! This year was my favorite Christmas with the boys so far.

Aiden's favorite gift from Santa.....it's bigger than he is and he now sleeps with it every night!

Santa saved the biggest surprise for last.....

a pirate tent for the boys new pirate playroom in the basement.

Christmas Catch Up

We had a great time celebrating Christmas with the boys this year. We attended a special Christmas Eve service where the boys gave a gift to baby Jesus and then headed to Brian's parents to have our first of many Christmas celebrations.
