Our Annual Winter trip to the Dells....

On our way to the Wisconsin Dells...

We don't have a drop down TV like the newer cars, so we bring our laptop and let the boys watch movies or play their playstation. ahhh. makes the trip so much easier on us...




Zack on the lazy river, his natural habitat...relaxing...


Daddy and Josh, "What's that face for Josh?"



The boys heading up the slide...


At first, the boys thought this was a baby ride, but because there was noone around, the man kept giving them longer rides.. they ended up enjoying themselves more than they thought..


Outside Hambird's Cheese.


Daddy and Nick about to play some serious games...


Winter Fun...

The boys are piling on Zack's new snow donut and going down the little hill that Chris makes for them in our backyard every year with his snowblower....



Zack, Nick, and our neighbor Connor.










Christmas 2010 ...Happy Birthday Jesus !!!

We spent christmas afternoon with Nana and Papa.. The boys all got really fun and playful things from them.. We are glad they are here for some of the holidays...

The boys opening their gifts from Nana and Papa

Daddy blowing up Zack's Snow tube, the other two boys realllllly wanted a snowboard for christmas, but not Zack, he wanted a "snow donu" he calls it...


Nana telling the boys about something...=)





My fireplace decorated in nutcrackers, which we collect and have collected for years..We have quite a few already.. Zack started the tradition when he was one years old and carried the nutcracker with him everywhere he went, he wouldn't let me put it up for christmas.


Robin Search, a dear friend of mine, lost her mother to cancer last year.. as she was going through her mother's stuff, she came upon these 4 adorable nutcrackers and knew we collected the.. needless to say, she sent them to us for a present.. they were a nice addition...


here are Robin's nutcrackers up close...



Chris opening his backpack from the boys...




Josh getting his new snowboard, unfortunatly it's a blurry picture of Zack...


The boys opening their stockings..


Chris reading from the bible before we open presents...



Again, the boys opening their stockings with bedhead hairdoos...



Papa at our house for christmas..



Sweet, adorable, cute little milkshake, thinking about jumping in the tree and climbing it..
