Eric and his mini-me (again)

It should be noted that Eric bought these pajamas TWO years ago and has been patiently waiting for Kyle to grow into them ever since.

Kyle's First Movie

Kyle got his first movie theatre experience over the winter break - we went to see the Muppet Movie with his friend Isabel. The two kids were very excited about the anticipation, the movie theatre, the popcorn, and the Toy Story short before the feature film. We only lasted about 30 minutes in the actual movie.

Christmas Eve

Kicki and the girls joined us for Christmas Eve.

Christmas Eve fell in the middle of Hannukah:

The kids opened a few presents each. A big theme was dress-up clothes:

Pajamas were donned to extend the night a bit, but the kids only pretended to sleep:

Chanukah Presents

Thanks everyone for the thoughtful and generous gifts!

After opening the cash register, Kyle almost called it quits
.

but we lured him away from playing with the cash register by convincing him to help Shane with his presents.

Shane loved the soft book.

Kyle went back to his cash register,

then moved to the den to watch Cars 2.
