Finally Back Home

After a great time celebrating Christmas with family in Pittsburgh, it was nice to get back to Home Sweet Home. Oh, and please be sure to check out new previous posts from all the way back to Thanksgiving.

The kids finally had a chance to play with some of their Christmas presents from Santa and Mom and Dad when we got back. Here's Tanner with his Super Friends Fisher Price Trio sets...


... and Carsyn drying her hair...


Tanner showing off this Bat Cave...


"I cannot believe how fun it is to make myself pretty!!!"


"No more wrinkles when I go out, just white dog hair..."


Bumblebee Transformer (Thanks York family!)...


Just happy to be back...


Carsyn getting ready to play with her new Elmo Play Doh set...


Tanner joining in the fun...


December 30 - Mommy's Birthday!!! She really liked the Disney princess cupcakes Tanner picked out with Daddy...


Well, we always used to talk about Mr. Silly around the house, but he officially has some competition...



Tanner teaching Carsyn how to feed her baby (so what that it was out of a pot using a spaghetti fork)...


We went downtown on New Years Eve for the First Night celebration and got a chance to see some more reindeer...


... and a lot of really cool ice sculptures...


Here's Tanner spinning the 2011 Fortune Wheel...


... apparently Carsyn will be getting a little crafty this year...


Tanner hanging out the Central Parklet...


Carsyn joining in on the climb...


... and sitting pretty on the peak...


Tanner tried his hardest to stay up until midnight later that night, but just missed out. I would have too if it weren't for Amber waking me up at 11:55. Tanner still wouldn't wake up after we shouted the countdown from 30. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Back to bed at 12:05 AM.


And to all of our family and friends, we hope you had a wonderful Holiday season and wish you a safe, happy, and healthy 2011!!!
