First Chipped tooth

The boys were playing in the tub (and I mean, climbing up the back wall and sliding down playing) and giggling their little hearts out. I got a few minutes on video and then Ryan came down a bit too hard. This was the result.

                          Our friends Adela and Peter came over the next day to play for a bit and the sleeping bag was the toy of choice. Ryan was so frustrated he couldn't get in with them!

It's Christmastime!!

The boys got new Christmas jammies from Grammy and they loved modeling them for me.

                                      One of Ryan's favorite things to do is build up a lego man with 20 heads or so. Sometimes they even get 20 bodies.

 We have LOVED visiting the trains at Kennilworth Mall in Towson. We had to sneak a trip in before we left and we even got to visit with SANTA! Andrew was very excited, as was Ryan, until we actually got up to sit on his lap.

Fun around the house

I can see dueling pianos in our future

Happy Thanksgiving!

We made it back to Baltimore for a few days to visit and enjoy Thanksgiving with the Semesky's. 

Papa got a HUGE turkey! We  had to take pictures for comparison!

                                                        Cousin Tom who taught Andrew all about his iphone-

                                             Cousin Anna was a favorite

We got to meet little cousin Brylee, and Ryan was in love. All he wanted to do was "hold, hold"

We have so much to be thankful for! Thank you to all our friends and family who love us so much! Here is our finished wall of thankful leaves!

And our Thanksgiving namecards for everyone-

Eight is enough?

We had our good friends the Kelly's visit this weekend and had a total of 8 people in the apartment. I think we were all a little nervous but it went great! The kids had a great time playing and sleeping together and most the kids actually slept through the others waking up.
Friday Melody and I took Andrew and Kendall to the Radio City Christmas Music Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes.  I thought it was a great show and I think the kids liked it, I just think we may not have had enough food.

Kendall's first time in a cab!

Checking out the ice skaters in Rockefeller Center

On Saturday we just took the kids to Central Park and to the Natural History Museum before naps/meltdowns occurred!

                              Jumping in the leaves!

                                     The new Space exhibit-

  We then got two sitters to come watch the boys so the adults could go out. We went to Casa Mono, a Mario Batali restaurant in Gramercy Park. It was spanish small plates, so it was quite interesting.

This is how much fun the boys had-this was around 9pm (the only reservation we could get was 530)

                                      The kids zonked out together

Helping deflate  the air mattress-

Overall, I think everyone had a great time and we can't wait to see them again!
