First Snow of 2009

Jackson was so excited about the snow that he wanted to go out to play as soon as he woke up this morning. Kevin finally took him out right before lunch. Adam couldn't go out because the cold air would make his asthma worse.

Grapes Anyone?

Do you remember when Jackson would walk through the kitchen and grab a grape to eat? Well, Adam did the same thing this morning. Well, sort of. Kevin and I were in the living room and Jackson was upstairs. Adam comes around the corner with a grape in his mouth, and he's holding the whole bunch! I wish I had thought to get a picture. I was too worried about him choking. He doesn't go for just one- he wants them all!

Brotherly Love

Yesterday Adam crawled up in the chair with Jackson. It was time for his asthma medicine. He didn't want to get down, so Jackson said he would hold him.
Too sweet!

Future Chef?

Cheeseburger anyone?

Daddy's Little Helper

When the tools come out, Adam is always there to help.

Christmas at Gramma and Granddad's

We arrived at Gramma and Granddad's house just in time for brunch. Then we opened presents, stockings, and played "Dirty Santa". We had a delicious dinner and ended with Jesus' birthday cake for dessert.

Ooh! I like this bow!

I'll pick up the trash!

Isn't this a step stool?

Adam is chasing his remote control car and can't figure why it keeps moving away from him.

I love books. Thanks Nana!

I got a Slinky!

Are you relaxed Aunt Emily and Uncle Joe? What's in those stockings?

No, not my nose, Aunt Jamie!

I'll help you open those presents, Gramma.

Look, at my new guitar. I'll play a song for you!

We can play this together, Jackson.

Forget presents. Let me show you some tricks.

What did you get Jamie?

This isn't breakable is it?

It's a hat Granddad!

Ooh! Mommy doesn't let me touch her ornaments. Yours are very nice Gramma.

We got a chicken! Thanks for picking the chicken Daddy!

Is that a digital PHOTO ALBUM?

Mmm... That cookie was good. And so were the mashed potatoes and ham and bread and...

What Did Santa Bring?

Santa was very good to the boys this year. He brought Jackson everything he asked for- a Wii, a giant Star Wars coloring book, and a soccer ball. Adam got a slide, a ball pit, and Elmo Live. They both got a bowling pin set.

Santa dressed my penguin and Adam's bear!

Ooh! Look at all the balls!

I'm ready to drive Daddy!

Was the Wii for Kevin or Jackson?

STRIKE! (Well, almost.)
