Christmas

The boys actually slept in and we had to wake Tommy up to open his presents! It was a nice surprise after a busy week!

Tommy got lots of presents!

Blake got some too!

Blake loves his new drum!

We headed over to Grandma and Grandpa's house for more presents! Tommy made out pretty good there too!

Blake helped Daddy open a gift too!

Yummy! We love popcorn!

Tommy finally got his "Sit & Spin"!

Blake tried it out too!

Tommy got the hang of it pretty quickly!

Playing new games on his Leapster Explorer!

Blake loves the Lucky Ducky game!

He played with Grandma Jo!

We had a great dinner of prime rib! It was delicious! We ended up having a great Christmas and we hope all of you did too!

The week of Christmas was quite hectic this year. We had choir practice Thursday night after work and that was fun! Tommy and Blake got Christmas presents from their Godparents. They were both spoiled with toys, games, books and clothes!

Christmas Eve was crazy as well. After work we rushed to get ready for church and made it there in time to get a seat. We had to keep Tommy under control for 2 hours in total. Towards the end it was a little sketchy. All in all he was pretty good. After church we headed to Grandma Rosie's house for great food, good company and presents for the kids.

Craguns

We had a great time at Craguns once again! The kids had colds, so that took a little bit away from the weekend, but not too much. It was crazy with little kids this year! Tommy had a great time playing with Camden, Rylan, JP and Natalee. They were having a great time running all over the place! Blake was entertained by Caitlin, Cade and Ryan. It is nice that they both have a group of kids around their own age to play with!

Caitlin, Cade and Blake played around the excersaucer while Ryan was inside!

It kept the kids happy!

Smile behind the nuk!

It was a great weekend and we were so happy to spend it with the family! Next year will be even more crazy with 7 new babies expected in the Potvin Nation between April and July. Who knows, there may be more too!

Celebrations!

Tommy trying to catch snow on his tongue! He was excited to see the snow!

We started December out with lots of celebrations. Amy, Brian, Paige and Ryan were in town and so we celebrated Amy's birthday, Brian's birthday and our extended family Christmas. It was a fun evening!
