Our holiday plans changed a little bit this year because unfortunately my Uncle Mark (my moms brother) passed away on Christmas Day. He was a great man who had a tremendous impact on his family and community. He passed away of cancer. We decided to go to Wisconsin for the funeral and were able to spend some very nice time with the rest of the family. A couple of my cousins have boys the same ages as our boys, so they all had a good time. My Uncle Jeff has a train set around his tree and that was pretty much the coolest thing either of our boys had ever seen. Dominic and James really seems to get along pretty well, which for two one year olds, that was great. We also had a monster snow storm the weekend before we went back to school and ended up getting 4 snow days in a row because of it. We got about 15 inches of snow from it. It has been quite the winter so far and we still have some left. Hoping for much better weather as the winter goes on, but we will see!
Dominic and James
The train set!
The boys were intrigued
Playing very nicely
The second night the train around the tree was not working, so they set up another train set.
This was the best picture of the boys. We are missing one here, Jojo was sick. It goes, Thomas, Vince, James, and Dominic. Vince and Thomas are three months apart in age and Dominic and James are about 2 month apart. Jojo is right in the middle of the boys for ages.
The big boys
3 of the 5 girl cousins. Jenn, me, and Lisa. Sometime we are going to have to get all 5 of us together again.
SNOW
So much snow, Nick had to snow blow 4 times in 24 hours to keep up with it
Snowed in! Nick even got a snow day, which is a first for him at this job.
Begging for food :)
I can't believe I forgot to post these from my camera! Thanks for the reminder :) And the one of the 3 of us is actually pretty great - especially all things considered!
