The White Fence Farm

One of our outings was visiting the "white Fence Farm". We had a wonderful fried chicken meal- the best I've ever tasted and then took some time to see some of the farm animals and playgrounds:

 

This was a favorite of the kids- a super steep slide- the Pig Chute. Here's Coley, so excited!

 

Hunter & Jack getting off the 'Pig Chute':

 

and Andy "woohoooo!"

 

Sean couldn't ride, he's still too little, but he had fun watching with mom:

 

We're so dorky..... but I love it!

 

Sean- cute little horsey!

It was a great family outing & the kids had a great time!

We always have fun in Denver! I'm glad we made it out for Christmas this year!

Noche Buena '08

We spent Christmas Eve with my mom & dad! & had a very delicious meal and opened presents.

Tom & Sean enjoying a wonderful meal!

 

Abuelita Ana with 2 of her grandkids & 1 of her 3 great grandkids! She's 76 and is so healthy & active!

 

This was Andy's favorite present- Sean & Andy each got $50 from my Uncle Carlos & Aunt Evelyn that live in Miami. They are always so generous! The funny thing is my uncle made sure that Andy's $50 came in mostly 1 dollar bills..... it looked like so much money!

 

Sean having fun opening gifts- tearing wrapping paper- yippeeeee!

 

Tom & Andy- yummy, yummy!

 

Christmas Morning

We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. We certainly did! it gets funner and funner every year as the little ones get older, the best part is seeing their faces light up Christmas morning with all the great gifts from Santa! Here's a few pictures- enjoy.

A quick shot of us in our matching red pajamas!

Here's Andy & Daddy Christmas Eve- all ready for bed in their matching red long john's. Can you see Andy's excitement in his face? He was so happy.

The tree with all the presents......

Sean loving his new Zebra bouncy spinning toy....

"Wow, mom so cool!"--- mesmerized

 

"Yes! an Iron man shirt!"

 

Sean loved opening presents, mostly I think because he got to make a mess- with permission....

 

A new scooter for Andy... it looks like little brother wants one too..... maybe next year?

 

Andy showing off his stocking!

Soooooo happy!

 

"Santa.... define Naughty?" This was on the back of Sean's pj's- super cute!

 

 

 

Mom and her boys!

 

We somehow made it off of Santa's Naughty list.... Santa was very good to us this year!

Get Together with Good Friends

Chad & Bridgette were in town for a few days from Atlanta, so we decided to have dinner at our house with all the Mission Buddies & their families. Unfortunately, it was so snowy that only the McIver's & the Springer's made it. we still had a great time! Here's a few pics.:
