Christmas Morning at the Dunnes....

Henry and his sound effects! He is such a silly guy...

We had to bring our new truck with us... so much fun!

presents!

Grammy, Henry, the bottle and the balloon!

Tickle time with the dad and the grammy... all while holding on tight to his balloon... oh Henry!

The boys love visiting the live plants in the Dunnes house... thank goodness the plants can't bite back! :)

Sullivan sitting pretty like a big kid!

Trying out the new chairs! We had to build the table once we got home... the boys enjoy doing puzzles and playing at their new table and feel fancy sitting in their own chairs!

Sullivan and Grampy reading a favorite book!

Christmas morning at our house... a very first for us...it was wonderful!

a very small tree for two small boys and our small house! :)

santa came!

the boys had no idea what was going on... too funny!

sleepy sullivan and a busy henry....

next stop grammy & grampy dunnes house for more christmas festivities!

Christmas Eve....

On Christmas Eve we Skyped with my parents who were at home in Walla Walla while the boys opened their gifts... which by the way was not as much fun as being home for Christmas....
:( then we were off to meet the Yamatanis for our Christmas Eve church service! Oh what a busy night we had....

The boys just love reading.... we read and read and read.... a very good thing!

Snow 2009

SO MUCH SNOW!

I opened the door to the deck and this is what I saw.... then I shut the door :)

Patrick shoveled and shoveled and shoveled some more.... poor guy.... there was SO much snow!

The snow kind of put a damper on our outings... so thank goodness Patrick was home for two weeks.... we just took short outings between storms.... next year we'll have better snow gear...because when we heard the snow was coming Patrick went shopping and EVERYONE was sold out of all fun snow gear... lame parents we are... at least we tried.... WE WILL BE READY NEXT YEAR FOR SURE!

Santa... a wonderful meeting!

Today Sullivan and Henry met Santa for the first time... Patrick even met us for the festive event.... oh and we had lunch with our bestest girlfriends too :) The boys were great meeting Santa.... no tears! Santa was really wonderful... the boys loved him.

a lunch date....with all FIVE of our kids!

Today we met Danielle, Avery, Sydney & Whitney at Tysons II.... we met Santa and enjoyed a lunch with all of our kids.... Patrick was able to meet up with us... he walked across the street to say hello....

Oh... so Danielle had to use the ladies room... :) I was standing outside of the restaurant with the five kids... and a woman passed me and said... those children aren't all yours are they?!!!? She was very concerned... I laughed....

Just thought I'd share...because I thought it was funny....AND because I can't even imagine....
