Happy 2007

We're back. We know it has been a while since our last post. The boys had a blast visiting with their relatives in NY and Pa. And they were thrilled to see that Santa had visited when we got home. Christmas is so magical when seen through the eyes of 2 two-year olds...


The boys almost went into orbit the day they got a free ride on Santa's sleigh. They loved the reindeer.


At two, they already understood the question "what do you want for Christmas." They both promptly told Santa they wanted hockey sticks. (Santa must have been up late making toys the night before, as he appears to be sleeping through the boys' visit.)


They loved everything about the holiday season. From all the fun with family to the huge parties and all that food. They were delighted to help Aunt Mar make cookies. "One M-n-M for the cookies, three for me"...you get the idea.


All that partying certainly wore them out, or so it would appear. But the devil is in the details. Here is where we found them one afternoon at Grandma's when it seemed a little quiet...In bed, sharing a stolen candy bar.


Look at these big boys sporting their awesome new LPFD hoodies. They haven't wanted to wear anything else since they got these firefighter sweat shirts from Di-Di.


So after a few weeks of fun, they finally returned home to find that Santa did, indeed, drop off a few things while they were away, including a rocking horse.


And a single-seat police-car (which the boys converted into a double-seater. Share and share, alike).


And I guess Santa was listening afterall. Here's Owen cheering after a GOOOOOOOOOAL.


And Luke, who's favorite quote over the last few weeks has been "not in my goal" swiftly claimed the goalie stick.

Oh the pics at Christmas time are soooooo cute. They need to now get a soccer ball because it is alot cheaper of a sport to play, especially with two. But regardless I will have to come and watch them play or sing or act in whatever when they get older. Love Di Di :)

I can't believe Di Di beat me to the website as I had to wait till it loaded to catch the new pictures. Must be her "fast' computer.. Loved all the pictures. Especially the ones with the "reindeer" and I remember them hiding and eating the chocolate in bed. Well at least I remember mommy washing the bedding when I got home. Love, Gram and Gramp
