Fun Family Photoshoot

What do you do when you have a groupon that is about to expire and no real reason to have pictures taken... throw on your football jerseys and take some fun family pictures. The plan was to take pictures of the boys but Dylan was NOT having it.  Hopefully he gets over his aversion to photographers before we take him for his 2 year old pictures.

While we were trying to convince Dylan to participate the photographer took a bunch of cute pictures of Andrew.

All attempts to get them both in the same picture looked similar.

In the end we decided to go with the family picture since Dylan was more willing to participate if he was being held!

Unfortunately it didn't bring the Patriots any good luck.

22 Months Old

Clearly Dylan is DONE entertaining these monthly photo shoots so he is probably happy they only have 2 months to go. I on the other hand can not believe he is only 2 months from his 2nd birthday!!!  Today was hat day at school so he is sporting his Red Sox pride. Tonight is haircut night so maybe there will be a second set of pictures later on.

I am OUTTA HERE!

Faces, faces and more faces

Monday at home

A valuable lesson was learned today: while being home when mommy has to work might be boring it is better than being home on the day she cleans the house :-)

ELMO!!!

Dylan and his new buddy...

More Fun At Sesame Place

Just a few pictures from our final trip to sesame place in 2013. Dylan wasn't too thrilled with the cold but Andrew and the girls had a blast. Andrew even watched the fireworks with me this time and enjoyed them way more than he did when we were there on the 4th of July.  This was the first trip where Dylan was willing to actually get near the characters!

Bundled up and ready to go!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

A busy Christmas holiday

This year since Christmas was in the middle of the week we weren't able to head back to Boston like we usually do. Instead we spent the weekend before Christmas with the Carletons in NH, the actual holiday in NJ and then we headed up to Reading the following weekend for even more celebrating. The boys got to see a TON of family and had a great time with everyone.  While we missed the usual Christmas festivities the boys had a good time leaving their cookies for Santa, playing with their new toys and lounging around in their Christmas pajamas for a few days while they were off from school.

Dancing with Mickey!

Buddies!

Resting up for more Christmas later in the day

Lots of plaid!
