My little artist

Sam and Aubrey got a new easel for Christmas and Sam was just so excited to paint this morning. Maybe I'll be brave one of these days and let Aubrey try painting too...I'm a wimp when it comes to messes in my house!

Christmas Day at Yiayia & Grandpop's house

Sleepy Uncle Adam...

Aubrey was driving poor Bo crazy, good thing he's tolerant

Aubrey is such a grandpops girl! Everyone else is chopped liver when he's around!

Yiayia handing out presents

my little man in his new favorite sweatshirt

Aubrey didn't want to wear her new tiara

Uncle Adam woke up long enough to open his presents...

Christmas Morning

Breakfast time
Sam didn't want me to take his picture...he really was enjoying his chocolate frosted cinnamon rolls!

Aubrey too!

Every girl loves a pretty pink boa

My baby

Still in our jammies

This pizza set has been a big hit, Aubrey likes to take the toppings off and them put them back on...she also likes to put it in the oven and take it out...in and out....

Aubrey was really good at opening presents, at this same age, Sam didn't really have any interest...I had to open them for him, so nice that she opened her own!

Aubrey got a new kitchen set for Christmas, we're hoping both the kids will enjoy these!

New PJ's for Sam

Sam got Woody & Buzz Lightyear and the Toy Story DVD's

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a really nice time spent with my mom's side of the family. Lot's of good food and conversation and of course a few gifts for the kids! They were both up VERY late and Sam was so excited for Christmas he didn't want to sleep.

Sam was having fun taking pictures with my camera!

Christmas Service at Church 12/21/08

Sam's sunday school class sang in front of the church today, I thought I'd have a hard time getting a video but turns out he was pretty nervous and needed Mommy to go down front with him so I got a pretty good view! I'll post a couple pictures of the kids dressed up cute before church too!

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Just a few pictures from the day we decorated our tree! Sam has wanted to put one up for months now, he's just been so excited for Christmas. We are counting down the days, so much fun!!

Dancin' in smarty pants

Okay, so you may not get this video if you don't watch a lot of PBS...anyway, Sam got some new PJ's in the mail from Grammy & Grampy so he wanted to wear them tonight. When he put them on he jacked the pants WAY up and asked me if he looked like Arty Smarty Pants (a puppet type character on Between the Lions.) Then he started doing the smarty pants dance and song...so funny I had to grab my camera!! It's a bit dark but I'm sure you can still get the point.

A message for Yiayia and Grandpop & "No touch it"

Here's a very cute and animated message for Yiayia and Grandpop and I was happy when Aubrey decided to add in her favorite line "no touch it" I must say it quite a bit because she thinks it's pretty funny to say!

Message for Grammy & Grampy

This is a video with a special message for Grammy & Grampy!

I love you Mommy!

This is such a cute video of Aubrey...makes Mommy so happy! She's saying so much now and I want to try to remember the cute way she talks now before she gets too big.

Aubrey's new tutu's!

My friend Sarah made Aubrey this beautiful fluffy pink tutu and we borrowed another from a friend so she's been having so much fun dancing around in them...Sam was a bit jealous and decided he wanted to join in on the fun...he says he'll be a ballerina like Aubrey when he's a girl...so funny! Mike didn't find it quite as funny...

Trip to Beech Hill Farm in Hopkinton 10/13

On the way to Beech Hill Farm...while I was paying for gas...
Sam took this pic of Grandpop
We went for a little hike
Sam's hiking stick

So sweet that they wanted to hold hands...Sam tried to lead Aubrey over branches and roots, so cute!
