February, 2011

Who fits can fit in box...

answer: Cal & Evvy

Clint had him pose for this picture--he's actually very happy and is faking the turmoil.

Yup, she can climb up to the playhouse all by her self.

Swing me higher!!!

Disney on Ice...

the celebration show which covers every holiday (including birthdays). The show was great and the kids' reactions, priceless.

Waiting for the show to begin

Halloween

Calvin--glued to the entire show, especially Halloween & Christmas

Halloween featured Jack Skellington, Clint's favorite and Christmas included Toy Story

Evvy screamed and clapped for the first 20-30 minutes of the show

January, caught on film

Busted! Caught red handed with the radio, fan, and pacifier (which are only for sleep)

Calvin's amazing bedroom, aka bat-cave

Apparently it looks like this every day before I come home from work...we must have an excellent clean up crew.

To usher in the new year we decided it would be a blast to have all of our nieces and nephews over to celebrate (i.e. a kids only party). Well, we were right. The kids and us seemed to have fun from start to finish. We did miss those that couldn't attend and hope that in the event we do it again this year all will be able to come.

Grandma Sally came for a bit to enjoy the experience with us

Evvy loved having everyone over and couldn't wait to see them in the morning...

Christmas 2010

Unlike previous post in this one the pictures are not posted in sequence of events. There's no rhyme or reason to the layout other than to capture what a wonderful Christmas the kids had last year (2010).

Great Grammie, Cal and Great Uncle David reading The Night Before Christmas

Dominoes!

When Cal saw that Santa left him a Bat-cave he was so excited that he couldn't speak or move for a few seconds (that's a long time for Cal).

Beautiful Evangeline

Score! Chocolates from Great Uncle David!

These three (yup Grandmom Teresa included) played so loud and fast that they often relocated to the garage.

One of my favorite pictures. In our family puzzles have been a staple for as long as I can remember. Papa (now Great Papa) and Uncle David have always sat and patiently completed puzzle after puzzle at every holiday--it was a sweet moment to see Cal enter that tradition.
