New Years Eve

We got wild and crazy tonight and watched Mylan and Landan so Kurt and Rhonda could go out!

They attended and ugly sweater party. Nice before the party pic. Kurt won for the tackiest sweater-he won a can of feminine spray.

he also didn't pee the bed this year, so it was a successful night!

happy new year!

to see Great-Grandpa we go!

Ryan sent him and dad some sweet c-130 hats...Here is Grandpa sporting it well...

2 rounds of great old friends...

We got to see some great old friends today!

This turned into a very interesting night. Raeann used her nursing skills on a drunk guy who had a seizure...while another guy "dined and dashed" and then continued to call the bar and harrass the bartender and stalk the bar by sitting outside in his truck (supposedly). The cops were called and it was fine..just very funny and interesting and NONE of us were even drinking:)

Most of the Snaadts came out to sled! Super fun, just wish I could have enjoyed some of it...and Cole slept through ALL of it...:) Guess Christmas day wore him out!

Christmas Day

Christmas DAY! We woke up to LOTS of SNOW!!

It was sad to get up without Ryan this year, but we tried to make the best of it and put on a happy face:) We are blessed to have such great family who support us!

Landan and Mom (pretending to guess what's in the box)

Cole with his safety goggles and blower
the boys playing cars on the new car mat
opening his leap frog mic from Gma Nancy

Mylan with his new marshmellow gun! The first box he opened he screamed "I GOT A BOX!!" it had the marshmellows in it:) then he opened the gun and didn't want to touch another gift:) Mom will be finding marshmellows for a long time...they were everywhere.

opening the book from daddy

giving morgan her Christmas hug...even though she'd been a bad girl!

christmas eve cont...

Eventhough we weren't lucky enough to spend the holidays with Ryan, at least we have the internet to keep us connected. He got done flying a top cover (imagine that) just after we were done opening a few gifts.
