Ryan's Dismount

Need we say anymore? At least he provides hours of entertainment....

Sophie's new purse!!

As we know, Sophie is a Hello Kitty fanatic. She loves everything Hello Kitty. Recently, she has been learning about the concept of money, earning pennies and nickels for chores and saving to buy things she likes. With some Christmas money, she immediately knew she wanted her very own Hello Kitty purse. We had to do some searching on the internet, but she helped pick one out, paid Mommy and Daddy her money in exact change, and waited patiently for it to come in the mail. Well, last week, she got it! Her very own package form the mail man with her brand new Hello Kitty purse that! It is more adorable than we thought, too! While jumping around in excitement, she continuously exclaimed, "This is the best day EVER!" I only wish I taken a video of it...too funny!

Uncle Mason visits!

The last week of 2010, we had the joy of having Uncle Mason visit us. We had a lot of fun bumming around and playing with Mason. The kids adored him, and we have sure missed him, especially Charlie! Charlie knew Mason as a puppy when Mason lived with us one summer up in Maryland, and he was extatic to have his old pal back! Here is a snapshot of "Fruitopia," the city Sophie and Mason created before Ryan tore it down. And below is a shot of the kids playing on Ryan's car.
