Christmas day

The boys liked the books they got in their stockings - Lego themed! They readers are hard to find, thank goodness for Amazon.

Nico liked the unders.
Henry's job was to read the packages and hand them out.
Nico tucked himself into a corner and devoured most of the candies from his stocking. He thought he was hiding from me.
Nico showing off one of his Lego sets.
H played with each toy as he opened them, he put in the Star Wars game first.
H happy to get a big box of Lego, the first of many.
Next box...the one he asked Santa for. The helicopter.
He was so happy he hugged the box and said "THANK YOU SANTA!"
Then another box of Lego, the submarine which became the instant favourite. It's a very cool set, joe really likes it too.
Nico got what he asked for..Playdoh ice cream shop.
Joe didn't know what the heck this thing was, its a mini light.
Nico heading off into the living room with some goodies.
All the boys playing with their Lego.
Nico opening up uncle John & aunt donna's gift - Lego Indiana Jones. He said "It's mine!" and promptly hid it.
All the male members in the house have their noses in Lego.
Nico hiding away with Lego Jungle Cutter.
Nico's fave gift - the flying plane from aunt cissy. He called her the next day to say 'Thank you for the fantastic present, I like it.' It's so cute when he says fantastic with emphasis on FAAANtastic.
Great hubby doing the dishes.

Christmas Eve

Watching the Santa Norad site.


Henry enjoyed the family game of Horton hears a Who, he does know his colours.
Nico busting a move while putting out the reindeer food & snacks.
H. put out 8 perfect spaced piles of oats & carrots for santa's reindeers. The tree after 'Santa' made his delivery, 10.30pm EST.

Making cookies

After H decorated his cookies, he just had to taste the 'dips'.
Nico's turn to make a mess....cookies.
Nico was helping me by holding down the step stool. Look at those scrawny chicken legs.

Nico giving Joe a 'whatever dad' look.
H. making faces for the camera.
H was invited to a cookie party with his pre-k teacher from last year.


This is is favourite cookie, so he says.

H at a birthday party held at a local gym. He is sure full of energy.

Now some Disney

boys and their toys

Nico was so happy to find his dancing monster, he snuggled, danced, hugged & kissed the blue thing for quite a while.


This is how I found Nico the other night, he really likes that kitty pillow.
H. wanted me to take a picture of him with his favourite food - chick-fil-a. He had to check and make sure that I got the chicken in the picture.
Joe bought H another lego set, this time a star wars "bad guys". H. was so excited and couldn't go to sleep, after lights off he put on the head lamp and just sat on the floor staring at his legos.

Crazy baby

I needed a quick costume pose so nico offered up his services. I'm having lots of fun with these border images that are floating around the net.

A good old peel off polaroid effect. I still have a polaroid camera floating around here, wonder if I can get the film....
