Santa Claus Parade

We went to the Santa Claus Parade in Orleans this year. What a lovely evening it was to watch a parade. Ronan was wearing his Santa hat and wanted to show it to Santa when his float went by. It was quite a cute site to see.

Here is a shot of Ronan sitting on the curb waiting for the parade to start.

1st snowfall of the season

You would not believe how fast a 4 year old can move when he hears that there is snow outside. Ronan was out of bed, dressed and outside in less than 10 minutes! All this before 6:30am.

Here he is, note the darkness!

4th Birthday Celebration

On Ronan's actual birthday we took him to Montana's for lunch. The hat he's wearing came from school. As we were entering the restaurant he said to me "Mom, they're not going to know it's my birthday".

A shirt and chocolate from the Gardner's.  He wore this shirt to school on Monday with Tow Mater underwear and socks! Thanks to Nanny for the coordinating socks.

A monster hat and shirt from Auntie Michelle.

A BBQ/Kitchen from Mommy and Daddy.

THE birthday cake. Thanks Auntie Michelle for helping apply fondant so we could finish the cake in 5 hours.

The party lunch room. Set for 10 children under the age of 8. Thanks Nanny and Auntie Heather for helping me put the lego decorations together.

A game of pin the head on the Lego Man. Thanks to Auntie Michelle the Lego Man body looked awesome!

The Lego kids.

Budding Photographer?

Ronan received a camera for his 2nd birthday and has had alot of fun practicing with it. He's able to take a photo and capture the intended subject now.

More recently I've let him try out our small digital camera and he's been able to take some interesting photo's. (Note: I'm in several of the photo's!!)

(That's me driving!)

Hanging with my l'il bro

When Ronan finally sits still he does like to hang out with Declan. As luck would have it I had my camera handy and caught this moment of them together.

Halloween

Halloween fun for Ronan. He helped carve the pumpkin. In this photo he's testing out his light stick.

 The family.. need I say more?
