Caldwell Christmas Party 2011

Making Cookies...

Rylan loved making cookies this year, it was a lot of fun. He really enjoyed that I used pastry tips to decorate the cookies too...mostly squirting frosting into his mouth! Matthew was not much of a helper, but cute anyway.

Christmas Show at Church

Rylan had a fantastic time preparing for his Christmas Show at Church. They worked for 3 hrs a week for several weeks! He is in the front row in a red shirt.

Mommy's Snowboarding Adventure with Angie

Mommy & her friend Angie had a fun time snowboarding in early December at Eldora!

Putting up the Christmas Tree 2011

Building...

Matthew loves to build blocks! He is very proud of what he builds.

Matthew's First Haircut

He didn't like it at first but once he got his lollipop he was fine!

Guess who is 2????? Matthew!

Matthew turned 2 this past weekend!  Amazing!  We had a small get together with Sydney and Morgan (and Mike-Daddy).  The kids had fun running and playing with the balloons.  Matthew loved all his new toys and especially big Mickey Mouse!

Daddy's Birthday - Nov 2011

Rylan picked out the cake...it had to be an all white cake with a monkey on it.  Mommy had to get out Grandma's cake decorating tips and add the monkey and 'Dad' part!  The kids love celebrating Daddy's Birthday!

Halloween Night - 2011

Tom & Jerry (Rylan's idea)

Halloween Pumpkins Lite Up!

Rylan and Matthew had a blast being 'Tom & Jerry' for Halloween.  They got plenty of goodies and candy!

Pumpkin Carving - Oct 2011

It's always Mom and Dad who actually do the carving...Rylan did tell us what he wanted us to carve!  Even did a watermelon this year (leftover from our garden)!
