1st St Pat's Parade

McQ was upset when we wouldn't let her join the parade


McKenna was so happy to be outside the cold didn't bother her at all

Gavin stayed bundled in the blankets until anyone with candy came by

Eventhough it was a cold and blustery day we set out for our 1st St. Pats parade. We had a ton of fun, and Gavin is excited to know he is "Iwish" and would like to know what his wished can be. The weather this weekend is suppose to be in the 50's and 60's so maybe we will be able to take in some more St.Pats's fun!

Gavin's Swim Lessons

Gavin doing his kicks on the floaty all by himself!

Gavin was so small compared to anyone he did not win any of the races, but he had fun trying!

Gavin just completed his 1st session of swim lessons. He was moved into level 2 right away, but he was by far the youngest in his class. He had a lot of fun, and we signed him up for 2 more sessions. Gav will for sure be ready for summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!

Dress UP

Gavin and McQ went upstairs and came back as a ninja, and the ninja's best buddy puppy! It is so nice when they actually play together!

Perfect Valentines!

Not sure if Gavin is Flamingo Dancing here?

McKenna does not like being used as a pillow

So Fun, Snow FUn!

Snow Sliding

We have had so much snow, it is so fun to be able to go outside and take advantage of it. It is hard to get a good snowy day that isn't too cold. The kids love snowball fights and jumping into big piles. McKenna often thinks it is a good idea until her puffy little self gets stuck! We have been having a blast, but we are ready for sun and the pool!

Go Bears!

McQ loves sporting her leg warmers!


Gavin just held her hand for the pic; it was so sweet!

Here is McQ wit her slight devil grin

I was a little late in getting all these pics up, as football is over now, but here are the kiddo's cheering on their team. Every weekend they would join Ryan in the "Bear Cave" and runn around the house playing football.

Santa Has Arrived!

Gavin really wanted a rock and roll guitar just like Daddy. Now he runs around and says, "Lets jam! or Come on Lets Rock"

We are going to be starting our own band

This might be the start of something...

Gavin was so excited to find one last present behind the tree

All Gavin wanted was a red spiderman and a guitar!

McKenna was willing to share her bounty from her stocking

McQ took a break to have a tea party

Christmas morning was so fun! The kids really understood this year, and they were so excited to open presents. They took time with each present, and didn't just blow through them all, which was surprising. Just seeing their expressions all morning was such a gift. Gavin open the door and shouted, "Thank so much Santa!"
