Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I took a break from blogging but now I'm back with a lot of pictures! We have all recovered from the vicious cycle of germs that has been spread around this house. Evan is better from his double ear infections and I even had an ear infection (talk about fun).


This is our Christmas card picture. For those of you that received my vertically/horizontially challenged Christmas cards, understand that I got the best picture I could before Christmas, and as soon as Evan felt better.


Here are Evan and Lola at Cole and Christina's Kids Christmas Party. It was a fun little party with great weather!



Evan and 18-month old Carter took over the bigger kids toys. Carter was a little wild man but Evan was all about being involved.

Evan and cousin Kayla take a spin


Christmas Morning! This was Evan's big gift from Santa. Actually, it's still from Mommy and Daddy because I spent a nice chunk of change on it and why should Santa get all the credit! I was even almost more excited about it than Evan.



Cheese!

Christmas Day at Great-Grandma's


Later Christmas Day at Lola's. Evan is helping with Christmas dinner.


and the last of the presents. We opened for days on end!

Pure bliss! Evan loves all of his presents, especially his trains.


and I leave you with the after-Christmas dance by Evan and Cole from their gift trading this past Monday.

Thanks to everyone for your beautiful Christmas cards and generous gifts. I could literaly open a toy store now! Here's wishing you all a Happy New Year!

It looks like you guys had a fabulous Christmas! Evan is getting so big. I absolutely LOVE that hat that he is wearing. And a boy never had a better friend than Thomas! All boys seem to love him. What a lucky little boy Evan is to have a Thomas ride in his house!!!! Just think next Christmas will be +1.
