A Wolny Christmas 2015

It was another great Wolny Christmas! The boys were gifted with several great gifts, including a game table (foose ball, pool, ping pong, table hockey), inflatable bounce balls, games, hot chocolate sets, clothes and other fun gifts! 

Cousin Christmas Time

A little ipad cousin bonding time. It's amazing what each child having an ipad can do for adult sanity during the holidays. 

Merry Christmas, Monster!

Monster's Christmas present - snow. We went to Kevin and Andrea's house for a Wolny Christmas and it true Eastern Ohio tradition, it was snowing when we got there. It was Monster's first snow of the season and she was pretty excited!

Nick's Christmas Program

And Nick's Christmas program. The kids sang a handful of songs. It was pretty much adorable. He picked his outfit because he thought it was the one that would make him look the cutest. Yup...

Just Nick Playing

A video of Nick playing make-believe by himself. These are the kind of videos that I will love one day because of his little boy voice. 

Little Fishies

Videos from the last swim lesson of the fall session. Nick graduated to the Eel class and Ben is going to do another Polliwog class. 

Ben's Christmas Program

Ben's Christmas program at St. Rose. It was pretty cute. 

It's A Christmas Miracle!

Adam took the boys to Bass Pro shop to do some Christmas shopping and low and behold, a Christmas miracle happened! The boys sat with Santa and talked to him! In the last 5 years, this has only happened once, tear free and Ben was less than a year old!

Christmas Decorating

We were late putting up inside decorations this year, and we were only going to enjoy them for a week, so I just let the boys go to town. I brought up the little 4 foot tree, some lights and plastic ornaments and told them to take care of it. It was our little festive corner of the house.

Cookie Making Time

Nick and I made some cut out Christmas cookies. I didn't get any pictures of Nick decorating the cookies, but they were something else...

Cub Scouts at the Art Museum

AKA bulls in a china shop. The tiger scouts went to the art museum to earn one of their belt loops. They started off in the kids art room. Perfectly safe and a good place to hang out. Then it got adventurous - the kids went up to the main floor to see the history of sneakers exhibit. It was a cool exhibit, but wow, having all those kids in the museum was a little stressful. On the security guards! No catastrophes, but there was some sweating!

Lights Before Christmas at the Zoo

Our annual trip to the lights at the zoo. It was a pretty warm evening, but not too crowded. 

Reindeer games

Star Wars and Advent - Together!

The boys were able to pull themselves together and George brought them a Star Wars lego advent calendar! It was a pretty awesome advent calendar and a good way to count down not only to Christmas, but to seeing the new Star Wars movie. I called dips on the Ewok that came in the calendar.
