Happy 2012 from the Michigan Mann's

We had grand plans to stay up all night, We played games, ate food, and danced, but as soon as we turned on the TV to watch the live celebrations, we crashed!!!

can you see her drool?

He lasted the longest.

These two were gone first. Nate Worked 24 hours came home to party with us and he was the only one who made it the whole night, I did last until 11:40, Nate woke me up at mid-night to go to bed.

Simply Sam, IS TWO!!!

February 2010

December 30, 2010 He just keeps getting better!!!

His Face!!!

IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!

My not so little babe.

Ethan puts Sam down for me, he reads him a book every time before he leaves him for naps.

Sam enjoying the snow, watching the kids sled.

This is what Gentry does, clothes basket and stuffed stuff, and Sam.

I came up the stairs and found Sam with a spoon and a tub of frosting.

He obviously loves E.

His Birthday brought cars, underwear, and a potty.

And car cakes.

cars and trucks, covered in frosting and candy, just what a two year old needs.

There were people eating everywhere!!! here are the big boys now, boys really don't need chairs, they eat on the run anyway!!!

Ethan enjoying his house.

Kate loved her snowman.

Gentry preferred eating candy rather than decorating with it.

Matt and Gina put on a puppet show,

Wilson's house and tree.

And I am sure you can guess who's this is, Nate's snowman with tree and fire pit.

Wilson scored int he white elephant gift exchange, googly glasses!!!

Matt got creepy teeth and shared with Ashtin and Ethan.

The Nativity, everyone participated, Wilson, Marran, Braeton, Ethan, Kate, Ashtin, Reagan, Gentry and Sam. Sam the shepherd, walked around saying "I am the KING" super cute.

Ethan's class die a service project, earned money, and then shopped at wal'mart for kids in need, I got to be a parent helper, shopping at wal'mart with all these kids FUN!!!

Gingerbread houses the one's pictured previously, before the nibbling took place.

more craziness.

Preschool, pajama, polar express, gingerbread house party!!!

Vanessa, Gentry, Bryce, Hiram, Wilson, and Molly.

Another angle, same kids.

Over the Christmas break, Wilson and Gentry wanted a balloon party so we filled balloons with candy, and let them work at popping.

trying to pop, the big kids cheated and used a pin, so they have no pictures!!!

We enjoyed popcorn in our new popcorn buckets, thank you Aunt Beth!!! It just tastes better in those buckets.

We built another snowman, not much snow though.

Snow angels.

Nate worked Christmas Eve and Day, so we took Pizza and had dinner to eat with him, then we went to his on call room and watched a movie with him, it was fun and different than any other year, it made a memory, gave us something to remember.

We called Christmas night our Christmas Eve, here is Nate reading the Christmas story to the kids, We lite the fire dimmed the lights and Nate has a way of telling stories to keep the kids attention.
