Christmas Morning 2010

We had a great Christmas this year, despite Pete and I having the stomach flu- we got to see a lot of family, and Sonny got to see lots of his cousins. Unfortunately, sick mommies forget cameras at family gatherings, so this is all I got for photos this year.

Judson Preschool Sing-Along

We got to see Sonny's very first sing-along right before the holiday break at school. He was great! It was fun to see all of his classmates and how they reacted to being up in front of a crowd.

First Snow 2010

We had sort of an unexpected surprise when it snowed...and snowed...and stayed! We started the morning going shopping for new snowpants, playing across the street in the winter wonderland, and helping daddy shovel.

PARTY!!!

For his birthday party, Grandpa Steve and Grandma Jody suggested the Burger King playplace. It was perfect- they provided the meals for the kids and the cool Toy Story cupcakes and the kids got excercise. The best part was that we didn't have any clean up!

Austin and Elliott

Owen, Emmett and Sonny. They're good pals and like to get wiley together. I tried to get one with all three of them, but as you can see by Sonny's blurry head, it was impossible.

Birthday Celebration #1

For Santino's fourth birthday, we started out at the MOA with lunch at Johnny Rockets. Then we moved on to Nickeoldeon Universe where he got his free birthday wristband. For dinner, it was off to the Old Spaghetti Factory for his free birthday dinner. We ended the evening at Nani and Grandpa's for some cake, ice cream and gifts. It was a fun, exhausting day.

Second Annual Halloween Picture Party

Some of our friends, the Marasco-Johnson family had a party last year with a professional photographer, Halloween parade, and treats for the kiddos to decorate. It was such a success, that they decided to do it again. These are some of the highlights from the photographer's photos.

Aamodt's Apple Orchard and Sunny Hill Farm Carnival

Yesterday, Santino and I took full advantage of this unseasonably warm weather and took a trip to Stillwater for some Fall fun.
