Another play date

New Years Eve...family style

Ryan, Emmett and I had a few of our friends over for a New Years Eve "party". I say "party" because everyone was gone and I was in bed by 11 but we still had great night. Emmett played with all of his friends, while the the grown ups ate, drank, and talked about how cute our kids are. ;)

Here the babies are playing great...

 Then I decided that taking a group picture was a good idea...

 It did not work but I did get this cute picture of Cole ;)

Emmett received a Claire "kiss"...it kind of looks like a bite :)

JD taught Emmett how to "work on" the toys.

Claire played with Emmett's boy toys.

New Years Day Emmett was looking a little sleepy. I think he party to hard.

Lego Advent Calendar

Ryan has been a long time fan of Legos and this is a tradition he has been anxiously waiting to pass down to his kids. I decided that starting the tradition of Ryan and Emmett completing the Lego Advent Calendar would be fun. I was thrilled to find out that this year's theme was police. Here are some pictures of the final product.

New Years Day 2012

We started the year off with a visit to the new lake house and dinner at my parents house. Here's hoping that the rest of the year is filled with love, laughter and family.
