Hope everyone enjoyed their holiday season! We certainly did :) There's a lot to review from the last week or so. Let's see. Sammy tried out some cereal for the first time. The first few tries he just did the typical mash it around his mouth and spit it out business. But now he's got the hang of it and will open up and swallow. That's a good step for a little one that still has a really hard time with bottles...
The week before Christmas was fun as we finished up some last minute wrapping of gifts and had visits with friends. Bob, Michelle, and Evie came by and brought Noah the game Elephun which he loves, and Sam got some cute clothes.
Christmas Eve was with the Rodriguez/Mioni family at Mike's parents house. The kids all looked so cute together!
Nick is a great role model for Noah. He shared turns with his remote control toy with Noah. Noah is sporting a super hero shirt he got from Uncle Danny that night.
Meanwhile Sammy was forced into the cute Christmas outfit again, much to Daddy's chagrin.
Late Christmas Eve we drove to my parents house to sleep (or TRY to sleep) and awoke the next day to gifts from Santa and the Hewes family. Noah got some dress up clothes from Bamma (my mom). Like the magician, muskateer, bear look going here...
Ellie got an obnoxiously large bone from Josh. The picture does not do it justice. It is at least 3 feet long. She's only allowed to gnaw on it after the boys go to bed. We're afraid she'll accidentally club one of them with it.
Nothing accessorizes a Holiday outfit like safety goggles and a tools...
Noah's group of "guys." You need a superhero? He's got one. You want Iron Man, well which suit because he has 4 of them. You want Captain America, he's got small, medium, and large. You want Thomas guys, got 'em. Disney guys, got 'em. DC guys (yes he knows who is Marvel and who is DC), got 'em. More abstract guys like Thor, Robin, Silver Surfer, or Aqua Man, got 'em. Seriously, we've got guys... LOTS of guys...
One of Noah's gifts from us was a shaving kit, so he could shave with Daddy. Important lessons seeing as how he'll probably have to start shaving in another 9 years...

So we made it to New Year's and Sammy got to spend some quality time with his godfather Uncle Cliff. The night before Cliff came, Noah's prayer was, "Dear God, please help Uncle Cliff wear his green lantern shirt." Cliff was alerted via text and managed to wash his shirt just in time so he could wear it for Noah. Noah was thrilled. The boys all got to pick out tattoos together.
Not sure that Cliff knew what he signed up for spending New Years with parents of young children. Mike was out by 10:30pm, and I was done by 11pm. Oh well! At least Sam got to bond a little more with the Godfather.
So now we're recovering, enjoying the wonderful gifts from the holidays and the time together as a family. Noah's been enjoying some painting with Daddy and a new movie, The Incredibles. Hope everyone got wonderful gifts, ate wonderful food, and most importantly got to spend time with loved ones! Happy New Year!
