Ice Skating

Here are some pictures of us ice skating this weekend. The boys did pretty good for their first time on skates. Thank you Uncle John for the skates they were great!!





Here is a close up of the skates (4 blades!)


Here is a clip of Anthony ice skating (sort of) He was on the crabby side so he wasnt in the mood to try very hard.

Here is a clip of Elliot

Ice Fishing

Eric has taken Anthony ice fishing a couple of times and here are some pictures of them ice fishing...

Rose Bowl

Eric went to the Rose Bowl for New Years. Here are some of his pictures.

Christmas

Our internet was down almost the whole month of December and we got it back right in time for Christmas, and with all the holiday parties and everyone being sick, I am finally sitting down to update the blog.

Here is some Christmas pictures. We had a very nice holiday, except that the boys were sick with bad colds which turned into ear infections.

Anthony was amazed that Santa ate cookies and drank the milk.

Christmas morning.

Elliot wasnt feeling well and so this is the closest he got to a picture with Anthony in front of the tree.

The pictures in front of the tree turned out much better at my mom's house.

Family photo

The kids did pretty good for this one-not too bad. Except I think Elliot is eating a fake carrot, but he is still smiling.

Circus

Here are pictures from our trip to the Circus in Rosemont IL

getting a clown's autograph


My sister had the idea of making animal hats for the boys. Cole is an elephant, Anthony is a tiger and Elliot is a lion. They did really well keeping the hats on.. it was cute... this is the best picture of the three of them.

Elliot is trying to put the clown nose on- he wouldnt let me help him.

The Lake

A few weeks ago we went up to the lake and our neighbor (the nice one) let us borrow his paddle boat. It was so nice to actually get out on the lake. It was a little chilly but the lake was beautiful.

Halloween

Carving Pumpkins
The boys did a really good job carving pumpkins this year.










Family Game Night- Halloween Party

Trick or treat
Finally it was time to Trick or Treat. Anthony was so excited, he had been practicing all week. He had lots of fun and did a great job saying Trick or Treat and Thank you. Elliot wasnt really into it, he spent most of the time in the wagon- going for the ride and eating a tootsie pop. He did get out at a few houses.
