We spent the evening of New Year's Eve with my family. We started out with exchanging gifts, since we weren't with them on Christmas.
All of the kids were very excited to see what was in this big present:
John and Sam
Evie and Will had a lot of fun with the wrapping paper - and Grandpop is doing a puzzle in the background. Hehe.
Nora was very happy to get this little dog. She would go and look at it every time we went to the store, and it is what she asked Santa for when we saw him at the mall. Thanks Grammy and Grandpop!

Here is what was in the big present - a pink horse for Nora and Evie! Nora named her Bubblegum.
Sammy got to be our baby New Year

The kids enjoyed the noisemakers!
Trying out Mike's new game
Will made Grammy put this box on her head. Whenever she would lift up the flap to look out he would say "Put your flap down!". Silly boy.
Sam kept himself occupied most of the night by practicing his "push-ups". He really wants to crawl.
Cute boy!
I hope everyone has a wonderful 2011!
