Family Vacation

Kevin, Ethan and Hannah took off for Florida yesterday with my parents, Carter and I are stuck in Ohio in the snow until Wednesday when we fly down to meet them.... they took the camera so I hope they are taking lots of great pictures and enjoying the SUN- something we haven't seen here in Ohio in a long time! Cruise on over to grandma & grandpa's blog for photos!! Happy New Year's to all!

Hannah and Ethan's Party

Daddy trying to talk Hannah into blowing out her candles- it didn't work, she just sat there and watched them burn!
Ethan on the other hand had no problem blowing out his 5 candles- I can't believe another year has gone by!!

Here is Ethan's dinosaur train cake- his new favorite show on PBS- he can tell you so much about dinosaurs now- buddy and tiny pictures are in the first car and Mr Conducter is on the back...

Hannah got an elmo cake (we found a mold at a garage sale this summer, so not
quite as impressive, but still a great cake for my 2 year old!!)

Carter's 2 months old!

Wearing Hannah's elmo slippers and playing under his bug, happy as can be!!

Ethan's Christmas Play

Hannah kept herself entertained by eating Grandpa's Candy cane
He's sitting down on the left side watching the choir sing

Ethan's the kid in the middle sitting by the campfire

Ethan was a shepard for the Christmas play at CCD this year (yes, preschool starts CCD at our church- Ethan really seems to like it). Here he is in the middle sitting around the fire watching his sheep.

Carter's getting so big (and cuddly)

Ethan loves playing Nintendo and has no clue there are newer and better game systems out there... yet that is

Hannah posing with our kitty who is no more... good thing we don't name our cats, they disappear too quickly. We're pretty sure this one ended up on the road over by our neighbors, he really was a nice kitty and the kids will miss him as he's on "vacation". Hopefully a new kitty will show up in the spring for them!
