Year of the Dragon

We've been celebrating in style already and still have a couple more fun events to come.  Dumplings, long noodles, red envelopes and of course the lion dance.  Happy New Year to all!

My Sweetie Pie

Zak aka "sweetie pie" has a girlfriend.  Her name is Lily.  She had a Romp and Roll birthday last week and he was right there with her to celebrate.  They really are adorable together.  "Sweetie Pie" and "my Lily" sittin' in a tree...don't think they are kissin' just yet tho!

My Crafter

Van had a homework assignment over Christmas to make a snowman for the kindergarten school lobby display.  We pulled out the craft box (thanks Donna...it's still overflowing from that 3 year old birthday!)  and set to work.  Of course lil brother had to make one too but I missed that photo op of the creative process.  I was rather busy managing the glitter distribution.  But Van's finished masterpiece is on proud display.  And for the record, Van made the only snowman with claws...Q-tips can be deadly ya know.  He's an original...just like his creator.

My Rockers

They got the beat and the boy band attitude already.    

 

And  the cutest little fan-baby Porter! 

"Christmas comes again next year??"

We had an awesome Christmas.  The boys were beyond excited.  They were crazed.  They were wild with jump up and down joy and kissing the presents glee.  The two week holiday was too quick and too long.  Having family here was just wonderful.  It's sad to see the holiday come to an end.  But the wait for next year will be so bearable now thanks to Zak's shock and surprise in asking "you mean Christmas comes again next year?" Yes, Zak oh yes...
Hoping everyone has a fantastic, healthy and happy 2012.
