California Grandpa visits

My dad came for an extended visit and we were hoping it was gonna be a permanent move back to the east coast but he's back in Cali. We enjoyed our time and have great memories. It was nice the boys got to spend lots of time with Grandpa and they love him!

Declan is so excited for Christmas. He was so funny, when we brought out the Christmas decorations he put on the stockings like socks, I was glad they weren't my "good" ones- Ha!

Fish #2

Rory graduated from mini mudskippers! He's doing incredibly. I can sit outside and watch him unlike Declan who would cry for me so I watch from the window for about two months. Rory had a couple of classes this month and then both boys start in January; Rory as a beginning mudskipper and Declan as an advanced mudskipper. Their classes will be simultaneously, it will be fantastic to see the two of them swimming, and I get a 30 minute break (the fastest 30 minutes ever).

Being modest

Yay Rory!

Ho, Ho, Ho

We met Santa!! The picture is class. Coleman's little sister wasn't so fond and unless Rory is banging on something, hitting something or being destructive it's tough to get a smile out of him. Although, Rory was very curious about Santa, and was being very sweet with him. Santa was fantastic he  passed out bells and sang jingle bells with the kids before we had our picture taken, it was so nice for the kids. Declan was shy and would not tell Santa what he wanted for Christmas, but I filled Santa in for him.

Carnival

Declan and his friends went to St. Jerome's annual  carnival. They got wrist bands and rode the rides several times. They had a blast running around. Declan's voice was horse for three days after from all the hottin' and hollerin'

Halloween 2014

Happy Halloween! Declan loves superheroes and his cousin Dan gave him an Incredible Hulk costume that he fit into this year. Declan had been showing off his muscles lately so it worked out perfectly and he was so psyched to have green hair! Rory was a pirate, Arrrrgh! The Cutest Pirate out there! We went to a pumpkin patch at a local church, the Harvest Fest and Trick or Treating! It was a great week with all the festivities!

blowing it up!
