And a Happy New Year!
Another great week home with the family. It was the end of Christmas and then we rang the new year in. And we had tons of fun all the way through.
We started our week with some house cleaning. We had an old computer that dad let me take apart. We got to smash its hard drive to smithereens too. A sledge hammer is the tool for this job! Notice my goggles, remember safety first! It was fun!
Then we put away all of our Christmas things. We hated to see the big Christmas tree leave and even more than that, we really really hated to put our Christmas train away. We spent a few hours watching it go around before we put it up for the year. 
I got to pick a movie and watch it with my dog. Pixar's Cars movie is a great one. Who doesn't love Lightening McQueen?
Then we had a great day at the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point. It was crowded but still fun. Samuel really enjoyed being able to walk around and see whatever he wanted to. My baby brother is really growing up!
And here we are with daddy - posing under the Supersauraus. He was HUGE! 
And here is Sam hanging out by the foot of the other Supersauraus. He would definitely be smushed if this dino was real!
Here we are with the Triceratops - one of mommy's favorites. 
And now we're in the dino ocean - with a giant sea turtle.
This scary guy is a super giant shark-like creature. He makes a great white shark look like a mouse - but he doesn't scare us! 
We celebrated the new year with a fondue dinner - mommy's tradition. We cooked chicken, beef, shrimp, and mushrooms in a yummy broth. The key to the whole dinner is the dipping sauces!
The new year actually rang in at our house at 9:50 p.m. We had our party hats and noise makers and danced/marched around to some music. A fun time was had by all and we were safely asleep much earlier than midnight!
We finally had a couple of good weather days and it got warm enough that we headed outside to take down the outside Christmas lights and to play in the snow! Ever heard of a snow angel?
Sam and I got in a good snowball fight with mommy. I think it's safe to say that we won!
Who can resist a fun day in the snow? Doesn't matter how wet you get (and I sure got wet!)!
When daddy finished with the lights he brought out the big snow shovel to hurl snow at me. Check out this fun action shot of me getting snowed on!
Finally - tonight Sam and I made Banana Bread with mommy. Tomorrow we all go back to work/school and we decided there's nothing like banana bread to make the transition a little easier.
Sam Alert: Hey everybody! It's been a great stay-at-home vacation the last two weeks. We hate to see it come to an end! It has been so much fun to have my family at home to play with. Here is a picture of me drinking - and I know you might be thinking . . . so what? Well - I've only been using a straw for the last few months and this is a super fancy straw with lots of curls. It required an incredible amount of sucking power. My checks hurt for awhile after I finished my milk. 
I'm hiding . . . . I'm hiding . . . . you can't see me.
And the picture that every parent hates to see - their son driving a car. Watch out mom and dad! This day is coming sooner than you want it to. Have a great week everyone!
