Ethan's Arrival Home

I tried to post the video of Ben's reaction to Ethan's arrival, but it didn't upload.  So I might try it again tomorrow.  So here are the photos I took of him.

 He looks really happy to see Ethan again.

 The love & bond of brothers.

 Wow, Ethan--you really could use a hair cut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Emmalee missed him too.  He had to read "Arthur's Thanksgiving" to her--in his own goofy way.

and Benjamin had to join in too. :D  

Coming up......HAIRCUTS!!

Grandma & Grandpa Fun

I finally got the pictures to upload today.

So here are some pictures of the fun the kids had with Grandma & Grandpa (who live in Wyoming)

Grandma reading to Benjamin (of course it's Toy Story!) 

 Eating dinner at the extra table.  We had 11 people at our small, small house.  

 Yummy pork ribs!

 Relaxing on the couch.

 Playing in our first "real" snow--about 6 inches or so.

 Our angel making a snow angel.

 Benjamin trying to make a snow angel

 He had a blast in the snow--he is still intrigued with the snow--it's cold, can be squished into a ball, and it's fun to throw!!!  ha, ha!

Brienna helping with the snowman

 Ta-da!  The snowman--with an apple (from Grandpa Stewart's tree) for his nose.

 We tried to get Benjamin to stand by the snowman

 He looks really happy--doesn't he ;)  

 They made a snow chair for the 2 little ones to sit on.

 Cool cheeks??

 Taking off all of the wet snow clothes & heading in to make hot chocolate.

 Brienna & Ben all tuckered out.

And momma too!  It was nice to get a nap in--even if it was for about 5 minutes!
