(disclaimer: the puzzle has the island up by Maine but the Statue of Liberty is also over by N. Carolina, so it is Long Island! :)

Just Like Uncle Mike
While we were putting together this puzzle, Max said he is going to serve his mission "here" in this lighthouse (Long Island, New York), which is where Uncle Mike served. I guess we'll see in the year 2026 (yikes)!

Airplane Mania
We visited the Museum of Flight. Unfortunately, Tony had to go to Billings for work and couldn't make it. But we had both sets of grandparents and Uncle Doug along for the fun.
The wheel's almost as big as me!
I just learned today that Rosie was never an actual person. It was almost as bad as finding out about Santa Claus ; )
Max the pilot
Ryan gives it a go!
Look mom, one finger!
Grandma Pearl tries it out!
Standing next to my favorite, the Gee Bee
Flying in the Lockheed

Ryan LOVES the moon

Not Really an Afterthought
So, I was really excited to give Tony a remote-controlled helicopter "from the boys" so they could all enjoy it together. When the boys and I go walking, we've seen a man flying airplanes and the boys are fascinated. So, I hid the present so it could be one of the final ones and I could surprise Tony. However, in all of the hustle and bustle and wanting everyone to be happy and thinking about Christmas dinner prep, I totally spaced it until 10 that night. So, we waited until the next morning so the boys could see it. They flew it all day! It was a hit!

Christmas
Lots of posts about our latest. Check them all out!
Max found his stocking
Santa and grandparents were very generous
Finding his goodies
Our breakfast of waffles with ice cream and strawberries
This is Ryan's first time. Last year he got gypped with rice cereal
New jammies
Funny-faced people opening presents
Thank you Stacey! The tradition lives on!
A new necklace!
Baseball boy
Tony made this for my civil war buff dad. That's the Emancipation Proclamation with civil war era money.
The beloved aircraft carrier from Santa. Ryan got some musical instruments
And Ryan's pretty tired (and still wanting a puffy coat)
The Christmas feast
Putting together Max's first airplane model from Grandma and Grandpa Epperson

Christmas Eve 2010
We read the Christmas story from Luke 2 and the boys acted out the story with their Little People nativity. Ryan insisted on wearing his puffy coat and the boys fought over the figurines. And then we sang a few carols.
Ahhh, the peaceful family moments
Then the boys decorated Christmas "stockings" for our visiting family.

Snowflake Lane
We also visited Snowflake Lane at Bellevue Square Mall. Since it was our first time, we learned a lot about planning dinner and where to stand, but we still had fun with the boys. There were fun people to visit with.
There were drummer boys
And soap flake bubbles
Smile mom and dad!
We loved seeing the boys enchanted with the "snow"
A first-time encounter with someone on stilts--a REALLY high five
He told Santa again that he wanted an aircraft carrier
And Max learned about helping people

Reindeer Visit
We were lucky enough to have both mine AND Tony's parents AND Doug with us for Christmas. We went to Swanson's Nursery to see some reindeer.
They also had Curly the Camel
Here they are with Dasher
And Blitzen
The Group
Inside the nursery there were lots of things to look at including a koi pond
And the boys loved this train
