William & Kaylin Turn 2

At the end of June, we had a birthday party at the cabin to celebrate Kaylin and William turning two.  We could not have asked for a nicer day to be outside.  The boys spent hours in the water, relaxing on their floaties and jumping off the end of the dock (or in Calvin's case, face planting into the water).  When the lake got tiring, the slip n' slide was a hit.  Even William enjoyed getting in on the sliding action.  It was next to impossible to get the boys out of the water, although the mention of food and cake seemed to do the trick!

A Few More Christmas Pictures

We had such a great time celebrating the holidays this year. Lucas was just so darn excited about all of the festivities leading up to the actual holiday weekend...school and church concerts and holiday parties, a Santa visit, cookie baking...it made the holidays very fun. We had a wonderful time celebrating with our families in Sauk Centre and Fergus Falls. Lucas and William love to spend time with their cousins and Grandmas and Grandpas (whom we don't see often enough) and are really enjoying their new toys.  A few of Lucas's favorites are his new red tractor (affectionately called Frank after the movie Cars) and Spiderman pajamas, his Toy Story Legos (which he has slept with on occasion this week), a talking Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger action figure, and a shovel to help dad with snow removal.  William's Dirt Devil has also been a big hit (with both boys), and they have been vacuuming right alongside me this week.
