Beanie & his friend

I thought this was too cute not to post!  We had 4 of our favorite families over for dinner.  E sat with S, who is only 3 months younger than him.  He's also our neighbor, so I anticipate wild times ahead for these two cuties!

Ice Men Hockey Game

We took the family to the Icemen Hockey game.  This was Little E's first game!  The kids had a fun time!

Happy 38th to the Hubby!

Happy 38th birthday to my sweet hubby!

We went out to our date night restaurant to celebrate while Mimi watched our wild kiddos!

Buddy's First Basketball Game

Buddy was excited to play basketball again this year, especially because he was on a team with one of his best friends!

Buddy's basketball nickname was "Big Show"!

Buddy did a great job!!  He's an excellent defender.   He and his friend were quite the little duo on on the court.  They did a great job passing the ball back and forth to each other.

Great game, Buddy!!  We're proud of you!

Happy New Year!

We spent New Years Eve afternoon at Walthers Golf N Fun.  The kids played putt-putt, played in the Monkey Tubes, rode rides, and played games.  This is one of Beanie's favorite places to go.

We were supposed to get icky New Year Eve weather, like ice/snow, so we opted to stay home and party!

We celebrated with champagne and sparkling grape juice, in margherita glasses, of course!

Thanks for the photo bomb, dear.

The sparkling grape juice must be kicking in...

One tired partier.

Snow Much Fun!

We went sledding down our hills in the backyard.  Little E loved it!

 

 

My Buddy loves playing in the snow!!!

E wanted to make another snowman!

Our Christmas Blizzard

We were so excited to hear the forecasts about an after Christmas blizzard.  The kids and hubby were out of school and I was on vacation.  With nowhere to be and nothing to do, bring on the blizzard!

I think we ended up with about 8 - 10 inches of snow.

The kids were anxious to play in all of that snow!

Our front yard.  The snow is pretty high up on our retaining wall.

 

Bundled up and ready for some fun!

 

Snowball fight in the front yard

This is E's first time really getting to play in the snow.  We hadn't receive this much snow in several years.

Snow angels!

The kids built a snowman, too!
