First Snow in NJ

You have obviously heard about our snowstorm this weekend. Matt and I have not seen snow like this in years, and Nick and Nate enjoyed their very first true time in the snow. Thanks New Jersey! You rock!

Nick woke Nate and they ran to our room to see the snow!

French toast and snow for breakfast!

"Chillin' with Dad" shirts on! Almost ready to play- only 5 more layers to go!

"How do you expect me to move in this?"

Nate's take on this snowsuit is written all over his face!

"Look Natey. Snow!"

Snowballs!

Sledding!

Daddy and Nate rolling around in the snow. I love this picture!

"Isn't it a beaut Nate?"

"He'll see it later honey. His eyes are frozen."
(Quote taken from our favorite Christmas movie- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation)

We are snowed in the next morning!

Not going anywhere!

Nicholas in heaven!

Snow fort!

Sledding!

Off I go!

Poor Daddy!

Happy December #2

First off, this is how I watch Giants games lately...

Are these two too cute for words?

Breakfast with Santa was at school this Saturday. Nick had a great time sharing in the excitement with his brother and friends....

This is Nate's one and only shot with Santa. I will not force him!

I also had the privilege to go to my cousin's baby shower this weekend and see baby John again. He is so darn sweet. Here he is...

I came home that night and Nick was ready to make cookies. Here we are! Merry Christmas!

Happy December #1

We have been quite busy this month (as we are sure you have been too!) so I haven't been up to posting!

December is always filled with lots of excitement, so I will be trying to post everyday to catch you up on what we have been up to here in the Fine House.

Aunt Annie came for her annual visit the first weekend of December. We were so excited to see her and celebrate the holidays with her.

Preparing for her visit with decorations!

"Joy to the world" sings my Clark W. Griswald and Russ!

Can you imagine the Griswold house if they had blowup figures back in the 80's?

AUNT ANNIE ARRIVES AND WE EAT CAKE FOR BREAKFAST!

Happy Birthday at 7:00 AM.

30 years old on the 21st of December.
She is getting old!

Relaxing with the boys.

Our first Santa visit.

Hi-Ho-Cherry-O! for Nick.

Off to Philly for the day!

Mailing our letter to Santa at Macy's Center City.

Nate poses but hopes his brother remembered to write his requests in his letter!

Nick loves to take pictures.

Here he is forcing Nate for one!

Nick and Santa again! Another great picture!

The tree behind us is part of a fabulous light show that Macy's does.
Waited a long time but I think they liked it, right?

Off to the aquarium where it is decorated with all things Rudolph!

Our first snow!
Aunt Annie and Nick on the roof of the aquarium catching snowflakes!

We are getting very tired. This is all from one day's trip to Philly!

Nate loves to hug every imaginary Santa; he will have nothing to do with any Santa that moves!

Nick loves confetti in any form!

Nate poses for a cheese at home.

Nick also got a Lite Brite from Aunt Annie.

We love you Aunt Annie.
Happy July 5th can't come soon enough!
