Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to Our Family and Friends!

Christmas 2012 was spent entirely in NY with family and friends.  Mommy and Daddy enjoyed just relaxing with the babies and not having to rush to get things done...because it could wait for another day!

Grandma Pat and Grandpa Roger arrived on Christmas Eve. Ayson was so excited to see them! He gave Grandpa (who was napping on the couch) a BIG hug.

Grandma Pat gave Ayson a gift to open early...a Snowman ornament that changes color...pretty!

Christmas morning!

Such a cute Dolly in her little Christmas dress!  (The lump to Addie's right, under the blanket, is Mason.)

Ayson and Addie playing with "old" toys on Wednesday.

We got over a foot of snow during the week and we played outside with neighbor Gianna

Addie stayed inside and played with Mason.

On Friday, Addie almost fell asleep in Grandma's arms

We took the tree down on Friday and we were amazed how fast it went up in flames...frightening, really. 

On Saturday, we spent the day with Grandpa Chuck, Pama, and Auntie Julie, Uncle Dan and the cousins.

Many, MANY toys were opened and both boys wanted to play with the big cardboard box :)

The girls.  Kaela is wearing lipstick...a gift set for little girls (from Mommy)

Mommy kept telling Auntie Julie and Uncle Dan that it only take 9 months to get their own baby :)

A^4 spent the night at Granma Collene's and Grandpa Ric's house.  On Sunday, the kids opened their gifts.  Grandma made Daddy and Mommy a gorgeous "log cabin" quilt.  Each square has a red center (love/heart) and a light and dark side to it...to remind us of the good times and the bad times...and to focus on the good.  We love it!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Grandma got in lots of Addie time :)

Ayson is all set with Toy Story items: movie, hat and gloves, and jammies

Addie getting acquainted with Ruby.  Ruby loves when the babies come for a visit because food can always be found on the floor around the babies:)

Happy New Year to ALL!!
