Playing in the snow!

Yeah, we finally got snow on a day that the boys could go out and play in it.  And hopefully this means we will be having a white Christmas.  The boys were so excited to play in the snow today and it was Zayne's first experience with it.  He did pretty well, especially for not really being able to move.  If I kept a path cleared low enough for him to walk in it he was fine.  But if he fell down at all, well lets just say he rolled around a lot until someone helped him up. 
The boys made some pretty interesting snow men all by themselves while I finished shoveling the walks.  Then we made a big sledding hill which they enjoyed.  They even put a bump in it to go over.
What a great time they had.

The boys also had their Christmas concerts this week.  Cyrus preformed well and we were very proud of him.  He showed great courage and sang every song with actions.  Quentin also sang his song at school and he had his piano recital this week which he did well at.  I didn't get pictures of that since we weren't allowed.  But he is getting so good at playing the piano and it has been fun  having him play Christmas songs every day.  We also had the opportunity to go on a Christmas light boat ride Monday which was really fun and we went to the Forever Plaid play at the Scera on Thursday.  Both in thanks to Justin's parents for taking us.  It has been a fun and busy week and we can't wait for this weekend.

Okay, Okay, so I'm a bit late in getting these up.  But we've been a bit busy dealing with sickness.  We had a lot of fun cleaning-up and playing in the leaves.  More fun playing then cleaning-up for sure. Unfortunately Cyrus seems to be the only one who knows how to look at the camera and smile though. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

We had a great Thanksgiving at our home as well.  Justin's parents home is under some major remodeling construction.  So we offered our home to their family instead.  All of his brothers were here as well as his sister Jena and his parents.  Great Aunt JoAnn and Sheila joined us as well.  We ate lots, played Rock Band and many other Wii games, did puzzles, and played other board/dice games.  A couple of people napped as well, but not much sleep down time was offered.  I believe fun was had by all.  It was a great day. Thanks to everyone who joined us.  I will have pictures of us rocking out up soon.  Even Grandpa got into the singing.
