Christmas Craziness!

We had a fun and busy Christmas season this year -- If Santa didn't know that Logan and Meredith had been good this year, he surely knew after the 3 times we saw him and the kids told him how good they had been!  Logan asked for a motorbike, Meredith asked for red toys(?), and Addison didn't ask for anything...she just stared at Santa every time she saw him wondering who this strange man in the red suit was....

 Logan and Meredith enjoying their new car and ATV from Uncle Jamie!  They LOVE them!

 

Meredith hasn't quite mastered the steering part yet so she tends to veer off the road quite a bit...good thing her car only goes 2 mph.

Meredith and Logan (and the Wocket, the Grinch, and George) ready for bed after a fun Christmas!

   

Go Patriots!

Andrew took Logan to the Patriots game in November.  Needless to say, they both had an AWESOME time.  They had a little tailgate before the game, walked around the stadium before the game started to check things out, then settled into their seats.  The usual fans aren't used to seeing many 4 year olds in the seats, so he was the star of the show which he loved.  It was a great day for both Andrew and Logan....he even made it to the end of the 3rd quarter before he looked at Andrew and said "Dad, I'm getting a little tired.  Can we go now?" (it was about 7pm at this point so we were impressed he made it this far considering it was an all day event for him!)

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Halloween!

The kids had a great Halloween this year...we had a police officer, an elephant, and a flower.   Logan and Meredith went trick-or-treating with the neighborhood crew while Addison stayed home with me and passed out candy.

We were very impressed with Meredith this year.   She made it through the entire neighborhood and kept up with the big kids.  She must have run about 2 miles and then came home looking like this (in case you can't see in the picture, she has chocolate smothered all over her face and belly :-)

Meredith got her second wind and decided to put on Addison's costume....a bit snug!

 

Soccer

Logan started his first season of soccer this fall.  He really loved playing, but loved lounging on the sidelines and playing with his friends just as much :-)  It was a great moment for us as parents to see how proud he was of himself when he scored his first goal!

Goodtimes this summer!
