December 2011

Made a popcorn chain for the animals in the forest...

Admired our Christmas tree...

Enjoyed some time on the "Family Couch" Christmas Eve...

Figured out the best way to get around Santa's barricade...

Got excited when we opened a Patriots toothbrush...

... an airplane...

And a Lego video game...

Filled a door with all the love you sent - thank you!

...and enjoyed the freakishly warm December & all the lovely busy-ness that is the Christmas season.

Hope yours was wonderful too!

4th of July

We had a great 4th this year. Second best holiday EVER! (Thanksgiving is the 1st...)

Phil was again the grand firework lighting poobah - with 3 apprentices.

FYI - Cody LOVES fireworks, probably because they're a lot like him, colorful, bright and loud!

This year he helped with the "poppers", expertly I might add...

Nolan got to light a few "real" fireworks this year.

And Matt helped with a little of everything.

What makes the 4th so fun? The people you spend it with!

BFF's (but more than that - our "Missouri Family")

Happy Belated Birthday USA!
