Play Time & a Birthday!

Sam's favorite winter hang out!

Relaxing after a busy morning of playing!

The boys slaving in the kitchen making Mommy's birthay cake - look at those faces! I think a nap is in order after all of that baking :)

Just a taste please!

Celebrating 29 years of life with my 3 favorite boys :)

Quickly making my wish before Sam dives into the candles! This cake, by the way, was DELICIOUS!! I have quite the bakers in my house :)

Mommy & Daddy came home from their date with some yummy treats to share with Sam! Cannolis from Mikes Pastry, mmm :)

Heaven!

haha...look at that face! A new taste for Sam - don't worry, he came back for seconds!

Christmas 2009

Santa came!!

Sam decided to sleep in on Christmas morning so Gus opened the 1st gift of the day! Santa brought him a new bone :)

It didn't take Sam long to find the remote control car that Daddy bought for him! It took what seemed like forever before he was ready to move on to the next gift - he LOVES cars, or "crrrrs" as he likes to say :)

MORE crrrrs!!

And another...

Wow - Santa really went overboard with the cars, huh? :)

Sam is just getting into the CARS movie - we read this book every single day!


Showing off Sam's favorite book from Santa :)



Gus gave Sam some new puzzles!

We had a very Merry Christmas this year. Craig and I kept saying how strange it felt to be spending the day in a place other than Kansas...we spent quite a few Christmas's there! We had a quiet day with lots of present opening, lots of eating, and lots of family time - it doesn't get any better than that! We look forward to many more Christmas's in Boston :)
