Dr Seuss's Bike

Okay so this is rather rediculous, but I have to include it because it made us laugh. Sorry about the silly commentary. Matt's brother Aaron (second on the Bike) had this idea to create the longest "bike" possible and have enough seats for the entire family to ride together. So this is what they spent Christmas afternoon doing.

Introducing the six-seater-super-mega-bike.

That is Matt(My husband)and Aaron (his brother) on a tandem Bike. Savannah (my 10 year old) is being towed behind and has Adam (my 2 year old) in a child seat behind her. Inside the trailor at the back is Isabelle (my 7 year old) and Logan (Aaron's 2 year old). Six people total. The balance was a little off and the white section with Savannah and Adam wobbled quite a bit, but everyone survived and the experiment was deemed a success.

If i can get it to upload the entire video will follow.

Merry Christmas!

What a great Christmas we had. We feel so blessed and really enjoyed spending the day with Matt's family. Adam was especially fun this year. Two is a great year for Christmas! He was so funny all day today. When he opened his stocking he said "I have a present! and another present!" then jumping up and down with his hands in the air said "Woo ooh! Woo ooh! Woo ooh!" And that was just the begininning. here are a bunch of pictures.

Waking up

Too Tired. (6am!)

"I too tired to open presents." and "My boot is bery heaby"Isabelle had to go check to see if the reindeer had eaten our "reindeer food" on the lawn.Adam Beating the water out of his spiderman punching bag...

Literally. It only lasted about an hour. He loves these kind of games. Does that promote violence? : )Likely his favorite present (from Santa) was this gun and holster combo where the guns make noises and light up. He wore the holsters all day. (again... violence?) Opening gifts. Check out those holsters!
The "rodent" we have temporarily adopted Savannah's class guinea pig (only during the Christmas holiday while the teacher is out of town.) Savannah insisted that "sammie" get a Christmas present so Matt had to make a special trip to the pet store on Christmas eve.Enjoying a cookie with his cousin.

We didn't take many pictures at grandma's house, but he got a huge set of Thomas trains! He and Logan played trains for hours!

Redemption: I realized this blog so far sounds like I only have one kid. I guess I kind of got lost in the joy and excitement of the two year old, but believe me the other two kids were not neglected! They each got a nice digital camera for christmas and a digital picture frame to display their pictures. (That is why i didn't take any pictures at grandma's-- the girls camera's were charged by then and they were being the photo-journalists.) They also got games and movies and books from extended family.

All in all it was a beautiful day, spent with great people, and eating excellent food. I love my family.
