I LOVE YOU! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY HONEY!
We watched a movie and counted down to the new year (eastern standard time) can't really believe even Hunter didn't argue about this and toasted with sparkling cider. Good times I tell you!
I wanted to surprise him with a party but he figured that out with a little help from Graham, but we all had fun. We had several family, neighbors, old friends celebrate with him. Even one of his old friends from high school, Todd Bramhall came with all of his family too. Since Darren loves to be with his family and the Olympics started that day I had an Olympic event with games that had to be played with your family. Thanks to all of you for your help pulling it off.
(wearing the big B-day hat is a new tradition in our family.)
We had a fun party for Graham with friends and family at Classic Skating and got to jump, swing, bounce, and slide to our hearts content!
Gavin wanted a party at Chuck E. Cheese.
It was great to have Grandma & Grandpa Olsen and Bohrer there and especially his uncle Brad!
Gavin loves playing soccer like Hunter and made several goals this season!
In Oct. we went to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow. It was really fun and different than a traditional play. The best part was the sound effects guy and of course the headless horseman himself.
He was so real looking to the boys we had a few nights where Graham and Gav "couldn't go to sleep" because they kept thinking about the headless horseman!
Gavin was Peter Pan when he went to preschool but when it was time for trick or treating he tried on several costumes before deciding upon Harry Potter. (no he's not the boy from Jerry McGuire!)
Graham is holding an imaginary light saber (couldn't find his) as Luke Skywalker
Graham has always been our monkey; climbing the walls (or anything) making monkey noises etc. so Darren finally suggested he try gymnastics. He is quite good and has a little routine on the rings. 
The month of December is always jammed packed with late nights and activities. This is how we all felt but how Graham and Gavin ended up too many nights before we got them to bed.
Christmas Eve we had a surprise visit from the busy man himself: Santa! He had a gift for each cousin and even Brad and Gabs. The kids got to sit on his lap and tell him what they wanted for Christmas but most of the kids had a sudden lapse in memory and couldn't think of anything to say except Gavin came through and said he wanted a bow and arrow and legos.
It is also Brad's B-day on Christmas Eve. We had fun celebrating with him.
