Christmas Morning

On Christmas morning at 3:30 am the first kid woke up followed by the other three kids minutes later. At 5:30 we gave up sleeping any more and opened presents.

Andrew got a chemistry set and couldn't wait to make a mess. 

Those two are always making "potions" in the bathroom sink. Maybe now they will stop clogging the sink and will use test tubes instead.

It's been like spring around here this week. Harrison is testing out Andrew's new skateboard.

Andrew's playing Christmas carols at the piano. 

Thanksgiving

I'm This Thanksgiving we want to NYC. We decided to go on a whim and we were lucky enough to snag an apartment  on the Upper West Side near the parade route. 

It was pouring rain as we saw them blow up the balloons. 

Some very tired kids waiting for the parade to start. 

Central Park

Happy 9th Birthday Ethan!

Ethan got laser tag guns for a present. The kids have been having a lot of fun playing laser tag. 

Putting a Lego set together.
