Xmas 2010

We had a great xmas this year - I think the kids were very happy with their gifts, as were their parents.

Here is the lovely scene before the children awoke:

New play kitchen:



Collin wondering what else could be in his stocking after all those socks!

The mound of trash after gift opening completed:

Check out all the stuff!

Collin likes his new Dora house!

A creatively decorated gingerbread house:

Jackson Street Roundhouse

We had a lot of fun at the Jackson Street Roundhouse playing and visiting with Santa and Mrs. Claus. This year, we even toured the "back room" where they actually work on the big engines. The first picture below is a photo from that area.

BIG WRENCH!

Katie & the boys on the train:

We're happy riding on the train - and it's sunny!

See - we can get along sometimes....

Conner's Birthday

Conner had his 7th birthday party at Waterpark of America. Conner invited 4 friends, so 5 kids total. Of course they all wanted to do something different, so I spent the 2 hours wandering the part to ensure no one was drowning.

After swimming, there was pizza and cake in their party area:

Eryn & Conner

Conner & Charlie

Conner & Max

Conner & Evelyn

Then back to our house and the "family" presents. Collin being very patient while Conner opens his cards...
