Everybody Home...

Gordon & Lorraine had a potluck on Sunday for all the people Todd & Ina had met w/ before and a few close friends. It was a really nice way for them to see everyone before they leave the states in a couple weeks.

My attempt at a family picture. Sorry Brian, Ina & Chris... guess I just got a partial picture of some of us!

The highlight of the trip for me was watching home videos. There are some pretty hilarious ones of us... thankfully there was a limited audience : )

Gramma Looie & Ty snuggling

More viewers... Amanda, Shannon & Kait

Grandpa Tom, Todd & Connor were watching too. Connor was sporting a really spiffy hairdoo done by Gramma Looie after bathtime : )

Playing

Ty's new brave trick. He thinks he's pretty big stuff.

Stepstools are fun!



His little stinker face

Connor entertained Ty for awhile by blowing his sponge bullets into the air. This was very entertaining to both boys (and Mommy since they were laughing so hard!)



Peek. Ty was playing in their big box and was peeking out the window at me.


Teething?!

In From The Cold

Nolan and Connor after a big morning sledding & riding the snowmobile.

We went to Randy & Brenda's on Saturday for a sledding/snowmobiling party. The kids had a blast and the Moms got to stay in w/ the 3 little ones & lots of food.

Gramma Chris's

We were at Gramma Chris's for a short weekend. She'd gotten the boys matching sweats so here they are trying them out. They were nice and cozy for their ride home!





Connor modeling the new flannel he got from Gramma

We like our new outfits THIS much... thank you Gramma!

His idea of "cheese"

New Years Eve

Jeff's hat is really cool.

Brian showing off a video he'd taken of a deer this year.

Before the games began. Looks like we may have run out of room to put people... poor Olivia had to take to the coffee table : )




We had an impromptu New Years party this year. Was really fun, nothing fancy but had all the essentials: friends, food and games.

Daddy's Biggest Fans

We were snowed in on Sunday. Brian played all day w/ the boys and here they are wrapped like a burrito. Connor lasted longer than the little guy.

Brian took Connor out shoveling but it got too cold. Here is Connor watching Brian shovel.

Eating a snack while watching Daddy work. Apparently he puts on a good show.

Visitors

Shannon & Amanda

Sharon & Larry came on Tuesday w/ lots of treats and hunting stories : )

The boys thought Shannon was a pretty good buddy. Connor kept counting the meals that he got to sit next to him... cute.

Wherever Shannon went, Connor wasn't to be left behind... as you can see : )
