Super Bowl 2008

I thought I had better post some photos before everyone forgets who won the Super Bowl this year. And in case you needed a reminder, it's the NEW YORK GIANTS!!! (Mark's dream come true... :) Here we are in celebration.

Pre-game

Touchdown, Giants!

Our family



Playing with mommy's hat is so much more fun than posing for pictures!



What better way to celebrate an awesome football game than with LOTS of food!? Lydie and Owen certainly enjoyed their pre-win cupcake.




Wrong ball but we'll forgive her - having a blast with Aunt Jen.

Winter...

WOW - I didn't realize how time has flown since the holiday season. Honestly, not many photos have been taken due to a steady string of illness in our household (as evidenced by this photo...)


Lydie and daddy playing with pacifiers. These are classic!


Daddy took a mid-winter day off so we took the opportunity to go to the PA Farm Show. It was a first for all of us. You haven't lived until you experience tractor square dancing! Lydia LOVED the animals. Here she is with goats but she saw cows, bunnies, chickens, roosters, and horses up close and personal. The food was awesome - it was a great rainy-day get away. :)



Knocked out after the farm show...

Lydie really wanted to be in the photo with the "girls" at Emmy's shower

And learned all about basketball (and wings and fries) from the daddy-to-be, Elliott

"Sharing" her snack. She sure does love Goldfish!

GOOOOOO GIANTS!!!

Lydie wanted to play in Guinness' basket. A couple minutes later we find her trotting around the house with his leash around her neck. Obviously, Guinney is confused. ;)

Licking the platter clean. Trust me, she only does this with chocolate! :)

She is so proud of herself. What a little ham!

Lydie is loving putting on necklaces. This started at Great-ma's with her costume jewelry. Now she gets out the Mardi Gras beads and puts all of them on and systematically takes them all back off and repeats. Adorable.




Queen Lydia on her throne at the Cburg IceFest. She truly was in her glory!

I loved it, mommy, but...

...it's time for "night night". Til next time!

Family

The Christmas holiday brought many opportunities for family gatherings. Here are some photos of the whole crew.

Just the 3 of us.

And there is Guinness

Our little family on Christmas day

Christmas 2007

We hope all had a truly joyous Christmas celebration. Celebrating our Savior's birth is always so hope and love-filled. Enjoy these photos!

A photo shoot under the Christmas tree.




I couldn't resist adding this photo. Riley LOVED her visit from "Santa"!

The toddler's were a bit more sceptical

Mommy even got to sit on Santa's lap! :)


Lydia and her friends Owen and Luke (who are obviously preoccupied with the ball-popper ;)

Lydie feeding her baby.

And pushing her in the stroller.

Cereal nose. She was like this for minutes.

Kissing cousins

She LOVED picking up huge boxes and attempting to carry them around. The bigger the better!

Our darling on Christmas eve



Our little organizer thought that all the red balls belonged together so she took it upon herself to "redecorate" the tree. :)



When she uncovered her little learning kitchen she repeated, "Oh Baby"! Classic!

Aunt Leslie is so much fun!
