Hopefully, our Christmas cards have arrived by now. Here's this year's Christmas picture.
Here's the thank you note I sent out after Christmas.
Reid checking out the PlasmaCar.
The boys are now 20 months old, so I tried to get the monthly close-up shots while they were playing. Aiden:
Reid had some other ideas at first, but eventually I got a few:
Reid rode along with me on the PlasmaCar:
No luck getting a smile, though:
The boys have started pretending that different objects are telephones. I always ask the boys if they're talking to Daddy, which puts big smiles on their faces.
We may have eaten lunch in the family room so we could watch the Iowa State bowl game.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich crumbs.
Yum, yum, yum.
I finally tricked Reid into a smile.
Brothers.
Finally, from the cell phone.

I bought a bin for all the boys' cars and Little People, but they've found different uses for it.
Aiden likes to take off his socks during nap time. Apparently, this time pants were also optional.
Decided to forego the stroller and take the boys into Target in a shopping cart.
They loved it.
Of course, they eventually got adventurous and stood up in the cart. Surfing was the way to go. (Don't worry, no break-neck speeds.)

New Year's Eve:The boys and I went to Chipotle with Grandpa and Grandma.
Of course, I ended up with two guys who wouldn't stop drinking.... my juice.
Lucky mama with two cuties on New Year's Eve.
Later in the evening, Reid, aka Stretch, got his hands on Daddy's PS3 game controller. Big grin when that happened. In a few seconds, he even managed to turn on the system. This is one of favorite tricks at Grandpa and Grandma's house. Have to keep those TV remotes hidden.
Trying to get a New Year's Eve photo with my little guys.
More drinking. A couple of New Year's wild guys on my hands.
Success with Reid!
Success with Aiden!
Two crazies climbing all over the coffee table. Finally managed to get these two monkeys to bed.
Wishing all of you a Happy New Year!
