New Year!!!

It has been a while since my last post -can you tell I am back at work? Not to mention it is the end of the quarter which does not help. Anyway our New Year was great! New Year's Eve the Thompson's came over and we played Ticket to Ride (love it!!!) while Ian and Ellie watched Bolt in the tent. They were very excited to see each other and did pretty well considering the late hours. Our night ended early with Tim heading off to work and the kids tired, but we had a blast and are definitely going to have to add this game to our collection.

Ellie is being the bad guys on Bolt - Ian was just loving life and probably laughing at Ellie!

The next day it was snowing like crazy!!! What better thing to do than build a snowman. Even if it was getting a little dark outside.

I lost track of how many times Ian wanted to sing "Once there was a snowman." He has learned so many things in nursery it is amazing. For Christmas they gave him his own picture of Christ which is in his room and a little beaten up because he likes to hold it. Our neighbor was watching him and thought it was funny that he would say Jesus if you pointed at the picture. When she would tell him that it is Jesus Christ Ian would quickly say, "Amen." As if he were saying his prayers. He loves helping you say the prayer and always says the last word you say. When we say our prayers at night we say "please bless we'll have a good night sleep" and Ian immediately begins shouting "no, no, no." I still cannot hold a straight face it is hilarious :)
