Here we are again!

O.K. I admit I have been a slacker on blogging, but I think I am ready to start up again. We have had a very busy winter and there are no signs of slowing down. We have spent a lot of time up in McCall and I e-mailed some of you about Kevin participating in Brundage Crazy Days. Here are the video clips from the pond skimming contest.
ROUND ONE


ROUND TWO

The True Meaning of Christmas

Avery James had his preschool Christmas program tonight. Here are a few clips for those of you who could not make it.

Check this out!

We had Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Downey on Friday night. They decided to leave us and move back to Vegas. So they could redeem themselves they got us this web cam so that we can talk to eachother in person. I have had a lot of fun with the webcam I must admit. I just wanted to share this video we made tonight.

Here Comes Santa Claus

We went to see Santa on Friday night. It was so great because we went to a nursery and there was no line to wait in. I would highly recommend doing it this way. Avery walked right up and plopped himself down on Santa's lap. He then proceeded to have quite a lengthy conversation with Santa. I am not quite sure what he was saying, but I noticed the two soldiers standing next to Santa were laughing at him. I finally went up and told him that we need to let other kids have a turn. Henry also seemed to like Santa which shocked me. Probably because he gave him a candy cane and he is my sweets boy. So if Avery is going to be nice (which he tells me he is going to be naughty), Santa might bring him some tools. So he can build a house.

My sweet little boy

I just had to post this video of Avery because I thought it was so cute. He stayed up pretty late on Thanksgiving and played cards and ate a lot of junk. Its days like this he will always remember.

Happy Belated Thanksgiving!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving to Everyone! I have been so busy with the holidays that I have not had much time for blogging. I hope everyone had a very satisfying and delicious Thanksgiving dinner. I decided to host Thanksgiving this year (only because I knew we weren't going to have a big crowd) and let me tell you, I never knew how much work it was. It is pathetic that I am even saying this because I only had to help make mashed potatoes and buy rolls from the store, but still. I decided to be festive and make everyone pilgrim and indian hats. Thankfully Erin helped out and we got them done just in the knick of time. Unfortunately it kind of freaked Dillon out when he saw his Daddy with the indian hat on so the hats were short lived. As the night went on Dillon warmed up and more guests came over and were delighted to take part in celebrating the true meaning of Thanksgiving. It was a really fun Thanksgiving and now I look forward to celebrating my most favorite holiday of all. CHRISTMAS!!!
