Better Late than Never....

I know this is kind of late coming, but better late than never! We had a great Christmas this year and a pretty quiet New Year's. We had several celebrations to attend this year and it was hectic and wonderful as usual. We started it all off on Christmas Eve with the Stahl side and it was great! The boys are really into helping with handing out of the gifts (they had been practicing for a few weeks :-D) and were even more eager to rip into some gifts...which they did with great speed! lol We then headed home for the usual Christmas Eve festivities....after consulting with his Daddy, Ian put out the cookies and chocolate milk for Santa (of course Dad knew that Santa loves cookies and chocolate milk) which also included a note that said "Cookies for Santa...NO Dads allowed!" Well, Santa must have felt bad for Dad because he happened to leave him just one cookie. lol Ian was so sure Christmas morning that Santa had come that he swears he saw tracks in the driveway that HAD to be from Santa Claus. He was so sure of it that he almost had me convinced! We then headed to Seneca to spend Christmas with my Grandparents and we had a great time! Then on to Mom's house for yet another round of merriment....whew! We not only ended up with great gifts and full bellies for Christmas...but we also got a nasty flu bug too! We spent a quiet New Year's Eve at home since all 3 of the boys were very sick with a bug, and it got a little scary as far as little Nicholas is concerned. Luckily though, we made it through it and everyone seems to be back on the healthy bus yet again.
Okay, now that I have written a novel for you to read, I have some pictures to show you....yes, quite a few of them, but I tried to include some from each day. Part of my New Year's resolutions.....to blog more often!! We'll see how it pans out! haha

They waited as long as they could....then the ripping commenced!
The cutest little gift around:-)

Trevor kept sneaking cookies.....

Ian was sooo excited about his GlowBoard
Nicky and his Poppy had a few good laughs together

All the boys got remote control cars and had to test them out right away of course!

Christmas morning...Ian was trying to convince Trevor that there were tracks outside :-)
