LD and his version of the ABCs

He can sing it pretty well, this was my best attempt at taping it :)

Boston Part I - Samuel Adams Brewery Tour

Our last full day in Boston we went on the Samuel Adams brewery tour. It was a lot of fun (and free, although we were encouraged to give a small donation... which was definitely worth it!). We learned a lot, each got a free glass and three samples of beer (let's be honest, Rob got six ;) ). The tour guide has quite the job. After giving each tour (approximately 45 minutes), he drinks along with the rest of us!

Personality?

Truth is... I finally had time to look at some pictures from the past couple of weeks, while on the plane ride to Boston last night, and realized what a ham Landon is! The funny thing is, I can completely see his personality in ALL of them :) My favorite is the first... it's so 'naughty and nice!'

Madisyn's Christmas Program

Before the program:





As they were lining up:


During the program:



The entire program she stood there (even when the rest of the kids were sitting) with her head down not singing a word! What do you do? I just had to laugh and hope for the best next year :)

What happens when a three year old dresses herself?

She comes up with some pretty interesting outfits... but I think this pajama ensemble topped them all :)


P.S. Why can't I get the kids to both smile normal at the same time?!

The reason for our hiatus

(work Christmas party... that I unfortunately had to miss!)

(cake that got neglected, decorations had to be thrown on right before our family Christmas party)


(1st birthday cake for an adorable little girl, Sophie)

(with cupcakes for the kids at the party :) )

Precious!

Landon loves to sit on Madisyn's lap and have her "read" him books. He's almost as big as her and she can hardly get her arms around him to hold onto the book. I just melt!
