Visit from Robyn

A few weeks ago, Robyn & the kids came to stay with us for a couple days (Richard had a business trip). It was so much fun. Justin & Addie totally bonded & loved playing together! McKenna & Breanna enjoyed the quality time, as well. And we had lots of time to catch up with Robyn. It was great! Come back again soon!

Robyn & Dave had fun with Justin & Addie balancing on their feet. They were laughing hysterically

The kiddos had a blast building a snow-man with Dave & playing in the snow til their skin turned red!!

Funny girls

Addie's buddies (Calista & Naomi) came over recently to play & we ended up making cookies again. They love playing dress-up so they were all dolled up in the garb to help make cookies ~ it was Noni's idea cause it was her b-day. They sure had a fun time ~ lil' characters!

New Years Day '2010!!

This year we had a get-together at Mom & Dad Riley's for New Year's "Day". Mom made yummy pulled pork sandwiches, to-die-for chocolate cake & everyone brought lots of delicious appetizers. Mom's good friend Eva was visiting from California & we had a great visit with her. The boys watched a little football & only a few of us actually made it til late to play games, but it was a good time. Thanks for hosting, Mom & Dad ~ it was fun!

Tad posed by his "self-portrait" blanket all on his own ~ so funny!

Addie stayed up late to watch her new favorite movie "Wizard of Oz". She went running into Grandma's play-room & came out with the shoes on ~ such a cutie


(Going backwards a little) We rang in the New Year with our new friends Kari & Matt, at our home, for some snacks & games until about 1AM. It was a lot of fun ~ Kari kept us laughing with all her faces but unfortunately they both whooped us at almost every game ~ Gee whiz! The kiddos cooperated well and Bree & Emma enjoyed their play-time together. Yay!

Addie's C-mas tree from Grandma ~ finally she could leave our tree alone . . . well, kinda ~ she just took a lot of our ornaments off & put them on her tree


Meeting Santa:
1. Bree, not quite sure where she is ~ looking to us . . .

2. Checkin' him out ~ hmmmm? . . .

3. Not going for it! ~ who has me!?!

Addie was a little apprehensive, at first . . .

But, she sure warmed up quickly though, especially when he asked her if she wanted a doll. She said "Yeah! A swimming doll! (mermaid)"
