A Belated Merry Christmas!

So Christmas was a bit of a challenge this year-with a sick 3 year old, it doesn't make for the funnest of times, but we had a good one anyway! Santa was good to the boys this year-lots of toys that both boys like to play with together (or that Shane wants to play with, and takes away from Derek)! We had Christmas Eve dinner here (with one vomiting episode), Christmas Day at Baba and Uncle Ralphie's (not for very long, Shane wasn't feeling well), and missed the Clark Family Christmas, due to the vomiting. But anyway, here are a few photos!

Snowy week

Here are some shots from last week's snow-this was taken Friday. Derek's first snow experience..Shane, as you can see, LOVES the snow-loves Daddy's toys (snowmobile and 4 wheeler) and any chance he can, he's out there with his little shovel helping Daddy. So I figured Derek would love it-not really! It was cold, he has a stiff snowsuit, and the first 5 seconds of me pulling him on the sled, he fell off-oops!! Maybe next time? We had a quick little play outside, enough time to make a mini snowman!

Happy Birthday Derek!

The big guy (or I should say our baby) is 1! Can't believe it! Time really does fly!! He had a little bit of a rough day at his party-he didn't sleep well the night before, didn't nap well the day of ,and there were a lot of people over-but he did fine after he ate dinner! Today, his actual birthday, it's colder than cold, so we didn't leave the house, but chose to play with all the fun new toys and swim!!

Playing by the fire

So Bruce made our first winter fire of the season, and Shane is obsessed! He loves helping Daddy bring the wood in, and help put the wood in (before the fire is started, of course)! So while Daddy is at work, Mommy has to keep the fire burning-thought these were cute pics!

Thanksgiving Feast

Here are photos from Shane's Thanksgiving Feast at school. It was so much fun!
