Happy Bday RDS

Ryan read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" for kids at read night at the school.  He is so cute.  He did such a good job.

 Ryan had a birthday.  I don't know if you can tell, but the cupcakes say "HAPPY B-DAY RDS"

 Birthday back rubs:

 Ryan may have had a little help blowing out his candles:

 Kathleen got to wear a hat to school, so she went all out:

 Ryan's new "mountain man" shirt I got him.  He is such a good sport, always wearing the stuff I buy him.

Tucanos birthday: 

 Ryan's awesome cake (I may have fibbed a bit on the age):

 A Foosball birthday party:

 The kids insisted on putting on the correct number of candles.  Watch out bonfire!

 Don't worry, we did NOT set off the smoke alarms.

 How much can he fit in his mouth?  As much as he wants.  It's his birthday!

Winter Wonderland

We set up the Christmas tree.  The kids had a ton of fun.

 The kids love that our new tree can either have white lights or color lights.

 Kathleen was so excited about Christmas that she cleaned and vacuumed her WITHOUT being asked.

 Is it referring to Ryan or to Santa?  Who knows?

 Pictures for our stocking holders:

 Our Christmas lights:

 Then we were surprised with snow!  The kids have been playing in it all week.

Brandon and I went on a date to Wahooz.  He sure is cute. 

 Visiting Santa at the mall:

Happy Thanksgiving

Ryan took a day off of work before Thanksgiving, so we went down to visit the village.  The water fountain show is super fun.

 Then the kids went ice skating.

 Brandon helped Ryan cook the turkey.  They are such cute boys.

 A family turkey bowl:

 We found a leaf in ice that the kids thought was super cool.
