Christmas Eve

Ok, so I know I posted Christmas morning before Christmas Eve, but I had misplaced these pictures so here are our pictures from Christmas Eve. We celebrated Christmas Eve with Aaron, Kelly and Shaun. The kids had a lot of fun and got a lot of great gifts.
Reed is not sure what to make of the whole gift thing
Jack and Luke got snowball guns from Aaron and Kelly, I can promise you that Bryan and Aaron were having more fun with them than the boys will!!
Since we were inside they decided to shoot balls of wrapping paper at one another
Obviously wrapping paper was not good enough for these two, they had to go out in the dark to test them out!

A sad attempt at a cute picture in front of the tree, I didn't even post the family pictures we tried to get! They do look cute in their matching jammies though!

Christmas Morning!!

Here are a few pictures of the boys from Christmas morning, complete with the matching Christmas jammies from Grandma!

Cole testing out his new chapstick!
Reed was very happy to have new night-nights
Luke checking out his loot!

Reed didn't know what to make of all the chaos, he mostly just sat there ripping up paper
Jack, very happy that he got a nintendo ds, I think it's one of his favorite gifts!
Cole was sure that there had to be more in his bag, he thought if he got in it that might help!
Sure enough his bat and ball were the last thing in there! That is the ONLY thing he asked Santa for, over and over and over again! He was very happy to see that!


The Polar Express

I didn't realize I was so far behind with my blogging, I guess I will have a lot to catch up on in the days to come! These are pictures from our trip up to North Conway, NH where we rode the Polar Express to the "North Pole"!

The boys with the hotel elf before we left for our ride, Reed loved her!
This is a picture of where we sat on the train, we had dome seats which were great!

So cute in their jammies!
They served us hot chocolate on the train just like in the book.
Luke loved his!
Cole loved his too.....
.....so much that he decided to eat the cup as well!
Luke looking out for the North Pole.
We also had chocolate candies as they do in the book.
Welcome to the North Pole (neither Jack or Luke believed us that this was the real North Pole, they told us it would have taken much longer to get there! Bryan tried telling them it was a magic train and Luke told us there was nothing magical about that train!) Oh well, they had fun anyways!!
Being greeted by the elves
Everyone sitting so nicely waiting for Santa's arrival.
There he is!!

ALL of the boys after our train ride
The next morning we went back to the train station to get some daytime shots, Nina has a better picture of our family where Reed is looking too but you get the idea! We had a great time and hope we get to do it again!!

Brian and Emily's Wedding

Brian and Emily's wedding was this past weekend, it was a beautiful wedding and we are blessed to have Emily as part of our family!

The boys at the rehearsal, so cute in their vests, Luke calls this his golfing vest.
The little greeters, or as Luke calls them, "The Programmers". He told Amy this is the most important job at the wedding.
The ring bearers did a great job, this shot is just to give you an idea of how long the aisle was.
How cute are they? Henry especially, did a great job for being as young as he is.
What a cute couple! Her dress was one of the most beautiful I've ever seen!
The boys getting a little down time at the hotel before the reception started.
Cole and Henry got a jump start on the dancing as soon as they were done eating!
I'm sure Papa thought this was a great idea when he did it with Cole, I think he was forgetting that he would have to do it 3 more times after this with the other boys.
Kevin's father had fun using his new video camera, no lie I think he filmed Cole making faces like this for a good solid 5 mins, that may need some editing down.
Luke was very sweet to dance with all of us ladies, Amy, Grammy and myself.
Emily and Brian and "the crew"
Mother/Son dance, Brian's face is priceless, I'm sure he's not making fun of mom or anything!!

Jack spent the entire night dancing with Emily's 6 year old cousin Riley, they were quite the couple!
