Happy 'Noon' Year's Eve! 12/31/13

 For New Year's Eve, Harrison, Declan and I celebrated at the Denver Children's Museum where they were having 'Noon Year's Eve'! There was a count down and ball drop every hour from noon to 3pm, followed by jumping on a giant sheet of bubble wrap to pop all the bubbles! There were also noise makers, hats, treats, a giant polar bear named 'Lars', and a train. It was a great party to help ring in the New Year and we all had a great time!










 Happy New Year and all the best in 2014!!
I can't wait to see what the new year brings for us with these goofy and lovable little guys!

Our Christmas 2013 - 12/23/13

 Santa Claus came! Of course, Christmas came to our house two days early, just like Christmas Eve. We had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas together and trying to keep up with the excitement level of Harrison and Declan as they ripped open presents! We had a lot of fun. Merry Christmas!

Santa Claus left presents upstairs by the tree AND downstairs in the play room. Santa left a trail of candy canes down to the basement and Harrison spotted that right away! Downstairs, there was a play camper, two sleeping bags, a campfire for marshmallow and hot dog roasting, hot cocoa, a cook stove, and a drum. It was a big hit with both of them! Declan must have asked Santa for a campsite 64 times...and Santa delivered! 


 Stockings are so much fun to 'un-stuff'!

 "Santa gave me a harmonica...so I can make more noise!"

 Checking out the new 'campgrounds'.

 "This is cozy!"

 A short break to roast some hot dogs and marshmallows.

 Harrison and Declan were very cooperative in letting each other help open all their presents. It was very sweet.

 LEGOs and puzzles...

...and games...

 ...and an airplane!

 Spiderman!


A new little beanbag seat from Nana...

 ...and a hopscotch mat from Pappy and Grandma Bobby.

 Merry Christmas!!!

Our Christmas Eve - 12/22/13

 Since Kevin can't be home for Christmas, tonight is our Christmas Eve! Harrison and Declan have been so excited all day and can't wait for tomorrow morning to arrive. It was so much fun to see them get so anxious for Christmas morning. They had all kinds of questions about Santa and tried so hard to be really good little boys...and they were! They loved putting cookies out for Santa tonight and went to bed without a peep. Sugar plums should be dancing in their heads by now. Merry Christmas!
