Christmas Break ~ 2013

Christmas Break 2013 continued…

This past Christmas was the 1st year I did not have to worry about going to work or worrying about taking time off work. We got to enjoy all of Dave's Christmas break together as a family. 
To continue with the Christmas holidays we drove to Canada to spend time with my family. We spent Christmas with Jenna & Josh & Josh's brother. We also got to spend it with Big Bryant & Laura. We also got to spend Christmas with the Canadian Grandparents & My Grandpa Leo.
The boys love going to Canada. They love spending time with the Canadian Grandparents.
While in Canada we had a few parties at my Grandpa Leo's house. The 1st party was a sing song at the Senior's center. Here is a picture of the two big boys at the Christmas Sing Song.


We had lots of parties at my parents house. Here we are celebrating Christmas with "Santa". Hudson is still not too sure about Santa Claus. 


 

Partying at Grandma & Grandpa's is a lot of fun but also a little bit tiring. Myles & Hudson look just about ready for a nap. 


Another party we had in Canada was going to see Frozen. The 2 Big Boys got to see Frozen with Aunt Laura, Uncle Bryant, Aunt Jenna & Dave & I. You can't exactly tell from the pictures but the boys loved the movie. 


After having fun in Canada we spent the rest of Christmas break at home. This past year we got Season passes to the Cleveland Aquarium. The boys love the Aquarium so we made a visit over Christmas break. 





And then the rest of the break was hanging out. Dave even got a few extra days b/c of lots of snow. We had a really snowy winter & lots of snow days for Dave. Here are the boys & Dave playing parking lots with their cars. The boys love playing with their Daddy.


We had a great Christmas break & we are looking forward to another one this year.

Our 4 Little Avengers

In December 2014 we found out boy #4 (Greyson) would be joining our the Born Boy team.
Since our boys love Avengers we decided it was only fitting to announce that our 4th Avenger would be arriving in the Spring.
To celebrate the occasion we took at trip out to Polaris in Columbus because it's one of our favourite get aways. We went to Build a Bear & made our Greyson Thor Baby Bear. We also went out to lunch to Quaker Steak & happened to visit with Santa Claus.

Here are a few pictures from our events.

Malls in the United States really do have the best indoor play parks. Our boys love visiting the mall just to play. Polaris has one of our favourite indoor play parks.

 


Hudson enjoying his lunch. At this restaurant all our meals come in these little car boxes. Our boys loved them. They also have cars on the walls & gas pumps. It's definitely a restaurant you go to with a group of boys. 





Hudson did not like sitting with Santa Claus. Hopefully this year he might be a little more happier to see Santa.


Taking pictures of our boys is also a bit of a challenge. Im glad one of the 3 enjoyed smiling with Santa.



After lunch we went over to Strongsville Mall to build our bear.




And at the end of the day. One more picture of the boys in their Avenger's pajamas & the Greyson Thor Bear. We got these cute pajamas also during our adventure. 


And then 5 Month Later Greyson got to join the fun. 

Here are pictures of all of our Avengers.

Captain America - Myles - who had just turned 4 on May 25th, 2014


Our Iron Man our little Bryant. Who turned 6th this past Sept 24th, 2014. 


Hudson our little Hulk. Hudson had just turned 2 on May 26th, 2014.

 

And Greyson our little Thor. Joined our family on May 23th, 2014. 
Greyson was only 9 days old when we took these pictures. 



And then pictures of all 4 of them together. Aunt Jenna & Granda Roy were in town & helped take the pictures of all 4 of our boys. After many & many different poses we got a few nice pictures of my cute little Avengers.

 


Grandma Roy even snuck in on a few of the pictures. 










We have the cutest little Avengers.
Thank you Aunt Jenna for taking a lot of pictures.

Christmas ~ 2013


Every year we get to celebrate 2 Christmas's in our family. We celebrate an American Christmas with Dave's family & Canadian Christmas with my family. 

Christmas with Dave's family for the past couple years has involved a sleep over at our house with Dave's parents & Dave's brother Stephen & his wife Stephanie. We had a lot of fun eating, playing games & opening presents.

Here are a few pictures from Christmas with the Born's.
For some reason I just did not get too many pictures & most of my pictures were blurry. I will have to do better this year.









For Fun I got Dave a Karaoke Machine For Christmas. If was a great find and only a few dollars. I was able to get a video of Dave & Myles singing Jingle Bells. 



We had a great Christmas with Dave's family & hope to have many more with them.
