Nate, Zach, and Clare: December 2011

Merry Christmas!

i know it's been a long time since posting. our computer has not been working so that's hindered the postings.

Thanks Jason and Amy! what a fun gift!

Yea! A Cars Busy Book. Thanks, Lauren!

Zachary is making his monkey noises with his sock monkey hat from Amy and Jason and the kids.

Too cute!

Big brother helping open presents.

These pictures are all out of order but this was during the time at my folks. the last night we were there, zachary in particular was being just goofy with the camera so we caught some good pictures of him with grandma and grandpa. he would barely sit there for a picture and then hop down and run to the camera to see himself and grandpa. usually he hopped down before pete could take a picture.

the cousins.

we toured the christmas lights at the coeur d'alene resort. this is just inside the lobby.

zachary got a new buzz lightyear sleeping bag! he's pretty excited and flopped down on his tummy and did a little swim and then rolled on his back with legs up like this.

another present from Santa, Siddeley the jet plane.

their awesome butch hats from uncle tj and aunt heather. they both love wearing them!

the whole family! it's been 10 years since adam has been back for Christmas and this time, he brought his fiancee, Cole.

for the most part they both did well helping each other open presents. this was a pizza factory playdoh maker.

and the request from Santa...the prized yellow Buick Grand National.

if you can't tell, he's pretty excited.

Christmas Phase 1

We drove to the grandparents for Christmas this year and luckily the weather was fine and the kids did awesome. only one 15 min potty break. in fairness we started the drive near portland but still, it was a great drive. spent a couple days with Pete's family and one of the most entertaining gifts was some bubble wrap that both boys enjoyed stomping on. even grandpa got into it.
