Christmas In Maryland

When we returned from our Christmas in Maine we had our Christmas in Maryland with Meme and grandmere. This was our John Deere tractor Christmas. Jack and Charlie received the Gator you see above! Jack's friend Ben has one and he wants me to call to schedule I play date for the boys and their toys. Too cute! They also got lots of books, tractors and accessories. I think that I already know the tractor books by heart; if you have a little one who is in to the tractors they are tractor Mac books and the series is accessible through tractormac.com. It is cute series and the boys cannot seem to get enough of them! Happy tractoring!

Christmas in Maine

The boys and I traveled north this year to celebrate the Christmas Holiday in Maine. There are some random pictures......Christmas tea with June and Jackie....Jack helping grandma Leen make the cookies for Santa, Jack and Charlie setting out the cookies and writing a note to Santa......A picture from the Christmas Eve Service....pizza at the Cabin (best pizza ever) hanging with Uncle Jason and aunt Julie. It was a whirlwind of a trip and we did not see or do half the things we wanted. It was a good time but fun filled. Hoping that everyone else had a wonderful holiday season as well! The photos are coming I cannot seem to get them to download :)

Fun in the Snow!

Storm of 09

Here a few pics of the feet of snow that we receive right before Christmas break. The boys loved playing in it and it was just enough to cancel school for 2 days and extend our break. I am not so sure how I feel about that ...I am not as big a fan of snow days as I once was :)

Christmas Concert

Here is the setting for Jacks first Christmas Concert. It was too cute. He did a fabulous job singing and identifying where we were in the crowd.

Catching Up

It has been a while; we have been very busy!
Jason came to visit for Thanksgiving as did Aunt Julie, and Grandma and Grandpa. We had a full house for sure! It was so nice to see everyone. The girls were up at 4 am the day after Turkey and attempted to tackle the madness that is known as Black Friday. I have to say that it is def an experience that everyone must have!!! It was absolutely CRAZY but it was so much fun and I cannot beat the deals I got! I think I started and almost finished my shopping in one day. I still have a couple people to buy for but it was wonderful!
The boys have spent last weekend at Fair Hill where they watched their daddy come in second in the Fair Hill Challenge. What a mess. We got about 2 inches of snow on Friday and by race time the course was a mud hole! Mike was covered from head to foot and our poor pooches went from white to black....they seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Now we are gearing up for X-mas. School is crazy this time of year, the Holidays are in the air and everyone is geared up to celebrate. We still have seven more school days before break but who is counting!
I am hoping to blog again before the holidays but if not Happy Holidays to all who may wander across this :)

MINE, MINE, MINE

As is common with most three year olds my little three year old is struggling with sharing. Who would have thunk it ? The funny thing is that he is not so bad with sharing with other people as he is with his own brother. As soon as Charlie has something of "Jack's" he wants it, he has to have it, it is the end of the world if he does not have it. We are working on this but have you ever tried to reason with a three year old? Not the easiest thing in the world to do. In the pictures you will see JAck riding around in his blue car, on the back of the car is his scooter. He was giving his scooter a ride but he did not want Charlie to get it so he drove it around the driveway. Not the best display of sharing but def cute and creative anyway!
