Happy 2010

So we are a little behind on blogging. This is the first post of 2010, I know. But we just have had a crazy, but fairly picture-less year. These first two pictures are of the kid enjoying hot cocoa that Grandma and Grandpa gave us for Christmas. They were sooooo excited that Brandon's candy cane melted all skinny at the bottom.

Kathleen wanted an easy bake oven for Christmas this year. But Santa and Mrs. Claus after much deliberation decided to get her all her own stuff to make cupcakes instead. Let's face it. Easy Bake's aren't as easy (or tasty) as they claim. And since we have already ruined one, why bother ruining another. She loved it.

One afternoon I decided to be a "fun" mom and make snowmen with the kids. Man, wet snow is heavy.

So the only pictures I got of New Year's Eve are this 1) of Kathleen eating shrimp:

And this 2) of the Reese's. Sad, but that is what you get for the night.

Look how cute:

Since we didn't complete a puzzle on Christmas Eve and Day like tradition, we decided to do on on New Year's day instead.

Kathleen with her Christmas school work:

Brandon with his Christmas school work:

I have such cute kids. Brandon was sitting at the table finishing some homework. He was so cute. He had to pose once he saw I had the camera. But then he went back to work and I got the one I wanted. I sure love him.

Ryan was dancing to Napoleon Dynamite. Too bad he tamed it down by the time I got out the camera. But he didn't know I was taking a video instead of a picture. He is the cutest nerd. Here is your new EQ Pres. We might want to rethink things...
