Christmas 2011

On Wednesday 12/21/11we celebrated Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Policeman's house with Uncle Adam and Aunt Laura.

Daddy finally got his Keurig Coffee Pot

Mommy and Jeremy got a baby bullet so mommy can make homemade baby food.

We spent Christmas Eve baking cookies and getting ready for Santa to arrive.

Ryan was a big helper baking cookies.  He only got a little flour on the counter.

Jeremy didn't much care to bake cookies.  He just lounged in the recliner and watched TV.

We enjoyed Christmas day at our house.  Santa came to Ryan's house for the first time.  Ryan put a magic key outside so Santa could get in since we don't have a chimney.  He also left carrots for the Reindeer and cookies and milk for Santa.  Although Ryan didn't get the gas powered go kart he originally asked for he was thrilled with his police car, pop the pig game (which he specifically asked for thanks to excellent marketing from various TV ads) and the Snorries (Sorry) game.  Jeremy got a ball popper toy which Ryan enjoys playing with more than some of his toys.

Ryan's eyes were huge when he saw his police car.

Jeremy sat in his new chair while Ryan opened his gift from Santa.

There's a new Sheriff in town!  Look out kids on bikes and skateboards, I am sure you will be pulled over and possibly arrested.

We spent Christmas afternoon at Uncle Scott and Aunt Jo's house with the entire Sharp clan.

All of the Sharp knuckleheads.

Ryan got a basketball hoop that was taller than him.

Grandma Kathy and Jeremy were showing off their Christmas sweaters.

This was daddy's Christmas.  The two sweetest boys in the whole world.

Milestone # 1 -- Rolling Over

On Monday, December 19, 2011 at around 6:00 PM, Jeremy rolled over from his stomach to his back.  He is growing way too fast.

Back to Work

Mommy had to go back to work on 11/28/11. The first week was rough because Jeremy had Croup and Ryan had Strep.  But this week everyone is feeling better.

On Monday, December 5, 2011, Jeremy starting sitting in his high chair with the family during meal times.  Before too long he will be eating cereal.  It is hard to believe how fast he is growing.  

Thanksgiving 2011

We had a fun Thanksgiving at Uncle Adam and Aunt Laura's house in Hayden/Steamboat.  Grandma and Grandpa carpooled with us.  We only had to stop five times on the way up.

Ryan enjoyed playing on the caboose in Walden on the way up.

Aunt Laura made Jeremy his first homemade stocking hat.

Aunt Laura had to pose with Jeremy so she could finally make it on the blog.

We had a delicious meal.  It only took 8 hours to cook the Turkey and the fire alarms only went of once.  But the meal was well worth the wait.

Jeremy wanted to get his picture taken with Uncle Adam before heading to work.

Daddy got to do another ride along with Uncle Adam.

Ryan and Jeremy talked with Santa.  Out of the blue, Ryan asked Santa for a Go-Kart that he could drive.

 Ryan went ice skating for the first time with Mommy, Daddy and Aunt Laura.  Daddy never fell down thanks to the special walker he got to use.

Ryan made Aunt Laura and Uncle Adam a gingerbread house.
