This elephant was awesome.

So were the White Bengal Tigers.

But Jak still insists: "those aren't tigers mommy, those are zebras."

Singing Old MacDonald.

A streak of independence overcame Kelan at breakfast.

Jak decided to share his pudding with Kelan...

Kelan decided he wanted the whole thing for himself.

After a long weekend of having the stomach flu....having the train wrecked by kelan...AGAIN...

not being able to fit your bike where you want it...

and trying not to get drooled on by crazyhair...

Jak was a very happy boy this morning!

Jak and his Gigi.

I read somewhere that it's a good idea to get your preschooler started doing chores to teach early responsibility. Mopping's a good chore, right?

So I figured why not get Kelan started early as well...

He actually screamed in protest when I took the mop away....a baby after my own heart.

We had so much fun spending the holidays with Bomma and we were so sad to see her go!!

See you soon!!

Kai enjoying watching the planes at the airport...

Uncle Banks was excited about his Beaver sweatshirt.

And Aunt Gigi was ready to put her new skillet to use before removing the packaging.

More presents!!

Reading Jak's new books

Happy kid.

What's the holiday season without milk and cookies?

Jak's been helping out a lot around the house lately.


Have you ever seen a kid so happy to be doing chores?

He loves to help feed Kelan.

And listen to his brothers.

Here he's saying "Don't worry Kai, you'll make it".

Merry Christmas!!!

Kelan loves his new bear.

and his new jingly cow slippers.

Kai got me a cd he knew I wanted. What a sweetie!

What a cool train set!

Kelan likes to play Godzilla on the train set...

Kai loved his new watch from Papa and Gramma.

Marcy and Jonnie got Kelan a See and Say. Yay!

Jak was so excited about his new books.

Here's Kelan mowing the floor. He loves his new mower.

Craig got me a panini press and a book to go with it. I think he's expecting a sandwich when he gets home.

Look out Kelan!

Jak got a new bike! Thanks Papa and Gramma!!

He spent a lot of the day saying "Help Me!!"

But he finally got the pedaling thing down. Weeee!

Kai's wireless controller for his new xbox 360.

He's a happy camper.
