Ringing in the New Year with Fondue

Jim, Gina, and Thomas came to our place for New Year's Eve this year.  We made a cheese fondue and they were in charge of the chocolate fondue.  We went through about four bottles of champagne between the four of us while watching Inception and stopped the movie just in time to watch the ball drop in Times Square!

Dance It!

Sunday

More Birthday!

Our neighbor Hannah turned 5!

Ben is THREE!

Happy 3rd Birthday Ben!  To celebrate we shot off rockets!

Ben's 3rd Birthday Party!

We held Ben's 3rd birthday party at our therapy gym!



Then we sang Happy Birthday to Ben and chowed down!



When the party was over, Dana, Kathryn, Jim, Gina, and Thomas came back to our house.  All three boys took a nap before Ben got busy opening presents!

Here he is opening the recycling truck from Uncle Jim and Aunt Gina!



Andrew and Thomas had fun watching Ben open the presents and then playing with them.



Nana and G-Pa gave Ben a big Thomas puzzle!



Then we watched a video together and all three boys were completely zoned in.

Helping with the big tree.



Ben gets to have the mini tree in his room!

Can we help decorate?

Christmas Tree!

Let's go to the Kunkel!

This morning we all went to the park to help Ben and Andrew let out some energy before we headed back to Maryland this afternoon.



We tried to have slide races with Thomas and Andrew, but the slides were not very slippery so they didn't move!



Mike heard the alarm and went sliding down the fire pole!



After the park we all went to visit June, a family friend.  She was thrilled to see all the young ones!

On our way home we stopped at Kunkel Park.  Ben was very excited to see the park again!
