Merry Christmas

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas, My two sisters Colleen and Janet and my nephew Tyler spent the night on Christmas eve, Ty started asking around 5pm to go to bed so Santa could come. We had a great evening playing Wii and laughing so hard. Tyler got rock band for Christmas and that was a blast playing it Christmas day, Dan is a great lead singer and Tyler plays an awesome guitar. Here is a video of Christmas morning with Ty and Blake. Ty was so excited to see that Santa had come and was so excited to open his gifts. Thank you so much for all the gifts we received we are really blessed to have such wonderful family who give so much to our children. Ty was so excited to receive his village from aunt Lisa and uncle Kevin, when he opened it he said "this is just what I was dreaming of." He also was so excited to see his new dirt bike that he ran to it and hugged it. Thanks Lisa and Kevin, we can't wait till next year when we hope to spend Christmas with you!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Love,

Diane, Dan, Ty and Blake

It was wonderful to have my family as well as my aunt Jean and cousin Lisa her husband Steven and her children, and Terry's brother Brad and his family who came to share the day. Thank you to Colleen for making Blake the most beautiful blanket for the special occaision. It is made with the most beautiful baby blue silk yarn and has a white ribbon threaded through the blanket. It was such a special day and I am so thankful to a wonderful husband who gave our son a beautiful blessing.

Ty the Pirate

Halloween was so fun this year. Ty was a Pirate and had a blast bothe Trick-or-Treating and passing out the candy. It was so funny Ty would give the girls who came the good candy and the boys would not get so much. He knows how to win the lady's hearts. Blake was the cutest Turtle ever thanks to my sister Colleen finding the outfit. It even had a removable shell. Thanks!!

We went to the pumpkin patch, but were a little disappointed as the rides were not going because it was a weekday. However Ty had a blast picking out a pumpkin for each one of us.
