After Christmas

Here are our new ornaments for this year...

Emily (Nathanial's first ornament is in the background)

Ryan's ornament

Christopher's ornament

Kara's ornament

A new ornament that our neighbors gave to us.

For some reason I don't have a picture of Nathanial's ornament. His is a Shepard to remind him about him being the Shepard in the Church Christmas play.

Playing with all the new toys they received for Christmas

We finally had some snow (at least for a day or two) on December 28th, so we bundled up and headed outside.

Nathanial and his shovel

A "junk" of snow. junk=chunk

Ryan shoveling the walkway

Scott had an interview for a residency program on December 29th so Scott, Denisse, and the kids came to stay with us on the 28th and stayed through the 1st.  It was a fun and relaxing visit.  Denisse has blogged about it on her blog, click HERE

There was a dinner on the 28th for Scott and Denisse so they dropped the kids off and went to dinner.

The girls were hanging out in their Bumbo seats. (Emily sure loves bacon!)

Emily was born in May and Brooke was born in August, for being 3 month age difference they don't look it.

I think Brooke is eying that bacon

We have Skinny-Minnie and Chunky-Monkey!  Aren't they cute?

Nathanial and Braden playing Mario Kart Wii

We decided that there isn't a whole lot to do in Cleveland in the winter that is FREE or cheap so on Friday, December 30th  we headed to Chik-fil-a for lunch since it has an indoor playground.

Emily was making some funny faces!

Later that night we broke out the Wii and the kids played Just Dance Kids 2

Brielle, Nathanial, and Braden dancing.  Ryan was trying to help Christopher

When "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes" came on Scott just had to join in.

...shoulders...

...knees...

...and toes...

This is by far Nathanial's favorite game!
