An Evening With Emily and Aaron

Emily and Aaron came over this evening for a few hours so Lisa and Greg could go to an event.  Bryce and Landon were so happy to play with Aaron!  While the boys played, Emily, John and I played cards.

All three boys were on the move the entire night!

2012 Pinewood Derby

The 2012 Pinewood Derby for Bryce's Cub Scout Troop was held this morning.  John and Bryce had a prime spot to watch the cars race down the track.

Bryce's car is on the track and ready to start racing!

Landon was really excited about the Pinewood Derby.  He was especially looking forward to it because he entered a car in the sibling race.

This year's race theme was "Wild West."  Bryce embraced the theme and decorated it with a cowboy hat, horses shoes, and a lasso.  His car was selected as the best "theme car."

Pajama Boy

Landon's class had a special pajama day at school today.  Landon said it was one of his favorite days because he could be comfortable all day in his favorite pj's.  It's the little things in life that make him happy!

Tae Kwon Do

Here is a picture of Bryce at Tae Kwon Do this evening.

More Gerber Christmas Party Pictures

I accidentally left a few pictures on my camera when I downloaded some off my camera.  Here are a few more from our Christmas celebration at my parents house on December 23.

Bryce and Landon always love playing with their cousins!  They miss cousins Megan and Chris when they aren't there but we Skyped them on the computer so it was the next best thing!

Before we ate, my mom explained our traditional Christmas meal to the grandchildren. 

Time to start eating!



Landon loved the remote control car he received from the Eckards.

Dads Versus Kids

 

Landon's basketball team had a dads versus kids basketball game.  Here are a few pictures from the game.

 

Snow!

The first snowstorm of 2012!  Bryce and Landon were so excited to wake up to snow covered ground this morning!  They quickly put their snow gear on and headed outside.

Landon was super excited about the snow!  On a side note.....I can tell the kids are getting older.  In the past, they spent more time getting ready to go outside than the actual amount of time they played outside.  Now, they quickly get dressed and spend hours playing in the snow outside.

The boys enjoyed sledding down the small hill in our front yard.

I bought Bryce and Landon these sleds last night.  Unfortunately, Bryce's has already cracked in half.

 

Grayson cried at the front door while watching John, Bryce, and Landon outside.  He wanted to be with them so badly!  His little tail wagged in delight when I put the leash on him to go outside too.

York County Industrial Museum

Bryce's Cub Scout Troop toured the York County Industrial Museum today to earn a historical site visitation achievement.  They learned how manufacturing companies in York County operated in the past.  One of their favorite stops on the tour was a working grain mill.

The boys enjoyed sitting in an old trolly car and looking at the plane mounted near the ceiling.

 Landon came with us for the tour and he was happy to see his friend Evan there too.  They loved sitting in an old train caboose. 

Tae Kwon Do

Bryce began taking Tae Kwon Do lessons a few weeks ago.  He has been asking to go to martial arts class for months and our evenings have finally opened up to enable us to commit to a program.  We decided on the Tae Kwon Do program because our cousin Nic has been participating in it for the past year.  Bryce loves having an older friend to go to classes with!  Nic has been taking great care of Bryce and he makes sure Bryce does the right thing.  Of course, Landon wants to join Bryce in learning Tae Kwon Do.

Happy Birthday Natalie

Bryce went to his friend Natalie's birthday party today.  He was a little apprehensive about going to a "girl" party but he was happy that two of his close friends were there too.

 

Landon enjoyed special "Mom and Dad" time while Bryce bowled with his friends.  He loved the one-on-one attention from us.
