A 2008 Trip Down Memory Lane

I got this cool idea from Barb's blog, where she does a look back on 2008 month by month.

I started looking at our pictures from over this past year and, Wow, have the boys grown and changed! Its hard to pick just one photo from each month!

So, here goes, our look back at some of our silly, funny, crazy, happy times in photos:

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Christmas times 4!

Whew - what a great Christmas we had - all 4 of them!!

We celebrated with Tom's family on Christmas Eve, had our own Christmas morning celebration, then went on to Barb and Don's house on Christmas Day for my Mom's family get together, and finally we had my immediate family celebration at Gramma and Papa's on Saturday.

The boys had a really good time at all of them, they really got into the opening presents this year and it was so fun to watch them! Of course they got way spoiled by everyone - but they love all the gifts they got. Some of their favorites are their train table, super hero capes, their Harley Davidson scooters, their "diggers", and all the cool cars! Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful gifts!

I put together a slide show of some of the pictures from all our Christmas fun, actually it was all the pictures that i could fit into one, so I will have to do another post with the photos from Gramma and Papa's house maybe tomorrow.

I hope everyone had just as wonderful and family filled Christmas as we did!

BTW - the photos with Santa were taken at A&R Portraits - the pictures there are always great!

Merry Christmas!

Oh, as our sweet little Jack and Quent slumber upstairs, exhausted from our first Christmas celebration this evening, Tom and I find ourselves in the typical parent trap of wrapping gifts and assembling toys into the wee hours of Christmas Eve night.
But nothing can compare to seeing those precious, excited faces on Christmas morning, right?

Best wishes for a Merry Christmas to you all - friends and family in our real life and our friends in the blogging world!

Here comes Santa Claus...RUN!

We went to our Mothers of Multiples Christmas celebration and had a fun time on Thursday night. Jack and Quent ran around with lots of other kids and had lots of good treats. Well, Santa made an appearance too. It took us a long time of looking at Santa and watching the other kids see Santa to want to try to see Santa ourselves. When the time finally came...

Quent had a little talk with Santa.

"Where is Mrs. Claus?"
"She is at home making spaghetti for my dinner."

"Quentin, what would you like for Christmas?"
"I like toys!"
(could not have been more perfect even if I coached him)

"Cheese Santa!"

Jack said, "No Fanks!" and ran away! Maybe some other time, good try Jack!
He did pose for a lovely picture in the next room, though!

Sloppy Joe, Slop, Sloppy Joe, yeah

Remember that Lunch Lady song that Adam Sandler sang on Saturday night live?
The one where Chris Farley was the lunch lady?

Tom got a hairnet and a beardnet when he toured the sugar factory for work,
then he brought them home for the boys to see.
I couldn't help but think of that sketch as they were running around with the hairnets on!
We were laughing like crazy, even as I post this I am laughing!
Go on have a good laugh too!

Sing along, "sloppy joe, slop, sloppy joe, yeah!!"
