A Boy and a Dog

Sage is such a good dog, at times! She is so gentle with Rylan, not so much with the other boys though. When we brought Rylan home from the hospital there was no way I would let Sage even near him. I have relaxed quite a bit about that and see that she lets Rylan do what he wants, she doesn't even lick him. (I taught her not to, it grosses me out) Rylan loves Sage and giggles when she is close.

See, he can pull her fur and she just lays there.

The Last Airbender

Trevan loves watching Avatar, the last airbender. He has been watching this Nickelodeon show for a few years now but this year with the movie coming out he has really gotten into pretending that he is an airbender. He has begged for months to have his head shaved and a blue arrow painted on, but of course no way was that ever going to happen! So, here is his solution to that problem. I find it pretty ingenious! Yes I did help him tape it up and he is so proud of his skull cap.

Merry Christmas

Our Christmas this year is one spent without dad. He is doing his military thing in a far away land. We miss him lots and lots. Here are some pictures of Christmas Eve, and Christmas morning. Enjoy (dad)

I love this picture because even Rylan is sticking his tongue out!

Doesn't look like Rylan or Mason enjoyed this pose so much.

Coming down the stairs Christmas morning.

Walking the hallway, can't hardly stand the anticipation.

Trevan showing off his sled, Mason got one just like it, only it is blue.

Kennedy and Mason checking out their stuff.

Rylan trying to get to the tag on his pillow pet. (He has a thing for tags these days.)

He is trying so hard to just get to that paper.

Trevan loves all things Bakugan, he was so excited opening his gifts and finding Draginoid, this however is not that gift. I was laughing to hard to take a picture of that one, he was screaming and jumping up and down.

Trevan and Kennedy's stuff just messy piles of it. This is how they organize.

Mason on the other hand is all nice and neat. Well, except for the clothes he got that were thrown behind him during opening.

Rylan watching his new toy light up.

We had a wonderful morning and now the kids are all trying out their toys and video games and movies. Poor Sage (dog) doesn't quite know what to sniff next, all this new stuff has kept her busy.

We sure miss our loved ones who are far away from us and are thankful for good friends who are close. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Love to you all.
