December


We had fun setting up our Christmas tree together. Owen wanted to put up all the ornaments which resulted in a highly concentrated area of ornaments at the bottom of the tree!
Charlie watched from his newly discovered favorite chair.


Then we headed downtown for the annual Dover Christmas tree lighting. To begin our Friday night out on the town, we needed to stop at Dos Amigos for some nourishment. Owen picked out the seat right next to the big window-prime location for watching the passing traffic!




The tree lighting was complete with a "talking" tree, carols, and a visit from Santa.


And then, what do you know, but the same Santa was also at the Noggin Factory the next day! My, that guy must be busy. Charlie found a cart to do some shopping and both boys sat on Santa's lap (with no crying). As you can see, Owen told Santa what he wanted for Christmas- surprise, surprise!

Thanksgiving 2010


With 10 adults and 10 kids it was a chaotic, but so fun, day.


About the only thing Owen ate for Thankgiving dinner was this roll....and then some ice cream of course!


Our attempt to keep the kids busy while we enjoyed a relaxing meal together. The movie captivated them for about 20 minutes. Not too bad.


The buddies snuggling.
