Friends, Fun, and Fireworks

We were able to spend New Year's night with the Sipkema's and do a few fireworks. It was great to get to spend it with them as they are moving in two weeks :( We will miss them tremendously. The boys have been playing with Isabel and Loes for as long as they have been able to walk so it will be quite an adjustment without them. We are keeping our fingers and toes crossed that they will move back quickly!!!

The Birth of Baby Jesus - Bain Style

We celebrated Christmas #3 with the Bain's, Johnston's, Stewart's, and Aunt Jaime. They always like to reinact (that's a term I'll use loosely) the birth of baby Jesus. Birdie the dog was our baby Jesus this year. We had a great time and this was a great end to the Christmas Season!

Did Jackson raid Elton John's closet??

We Wish You a Merry Christmas!

We had yet another fabulous Christmas! We were at my sister's house and she really showed us a great time and the food was scrumptious as always! The kids had a great time playing with their cousins and also getting to goof around with Gramps and Miss Kim. Electronics seemed to be the big gift this year and it only reminded me how quickly these little boys are growing up. Thanks Logemans for a memorable Christmas!

Twas the Night Before Christmas......

Game Time!

FUN-do!!

Every year we do a fondue night to celebrate Christmas with Mimi and Papa. The boys have coined the night "Fun - do" night and it is always a night filled with laughter! Mimi makes some great fondue dips and not only is the food awesome but if you loose your food in the dip - you "owe" someone a kiss. The boys get a big kick out of this and I think we will all take kisses from them as long as they will give them. David, on the other hand, drops his food on purpose - shocking, right??

This also happened to be Charlie's REAL birthday so we had a special dessert!

Heaven on Earth....

The motorcycle track is literally heaven on earth for my boys (all 3 of them!) I rarely go to the track for numerous reasons (fear being the biggest) but I decided to be a trooper and go this time. It was pretty fun I must admit. These little guys are just like mini men at the track and the men act like a bunch of little boys having a blast. Jackson is riding really well and against my better judgement Charlie rode for the first time by himself today too but just on the field. Jackson is starting to actually get air on the jumps. I have a hard time watching because I am in a constant state of fear! They all love it though and smile ear to ear the entire time we are there, so for that I am grateful I guess! :)

Happy Birthday Charlie!

Our little guy is already 4! I can't really believe it. Time is flying a little too fast - as fun as it is at this age, it's hard to realize he's not a baby anymore. He had a super hero party at Pump it Up and had a blast. We had 21 kids jumping and running like crazy and several mommy's and grandmas having some fun on the super slides too!!

We went scary this year!

We had a great Halloween last night. The weather was pretty perfect - not too hot, not too cold, and not raining! The boys each picked out their costumes about a month ago out of a catalog and both decided to go scary this year. Well, Charlie thinks his is scary but the only thing scary about his costume was the fact that you could see is undies hanging out the back. They lasted a long time this year but the sprint from house to house slowly turned into slow walk by the end of the night. Their mops and pops and Aunt Jaime came over to join in on the fun. The poor kids who came to our house were probably wondering why we had two refrigerators, a washer and dryer, and a kitchen table in our living room and entry way. (I am getting my floors done! YIPEE!!) Well, here are my scary little guys!

And don't forget the best part of the night..........................................

SORTING THE CANDY!! :)
