So in the family picture I said Ruston was sleeping. This is where he fell as sleep. Virgel and I went for a kayak ride and he was mad that he didn't get to go. He was pouting and wouldn't let Virginia help him with anything and wouldn't come out of the cabin. When she checked on him he had taken this floaty, his cup and curled up on the potty seat and fell asleep. That is stubborn! She did move him to the bed in case you were wondering.

Happy
We had so much fun. Ruston wasn't in this picture because he was sleeping. Too, bad because it would have been a great family shot!
Our friends
It is not often that you have a chance to meet and become friends with people that you have so much in common with and get along with so well. We have been fortunate to do that. Unfortunately, we not live so far away. We miss you guys and can't wait to see you soon!
My boys
Ruston attempted to empty the ocean one bucket at a time, but once full he poured it back in. I think there was a little flaw in his thinking!
My Man!
This one never stops smiling on the boat. I can't wait to go back for another trip so he can be on the water again. It is truly his heaven.
Ani Sized!
A a friends house Ani found the perfect horse! She wanted to take it home. Ruston kept checking out the full sized horse! The boy has no fear.
Big Moment
O.k this is Ani's first bikini - it could be her last. I don't think Dad and I are ready for her to grow up any more!
Kayak trip
Just a test drive. The new kayak with peddles is awesome. Much nicer. Ruston really enjoyed the trip. He was asleep by the time we got back!
Brad
Just as our little ones are growing so is Brad. This is Ani's Best Friend. They had a great time together.
A trip South
WAY South, back to the Keys for a little warmth and sun. We loved it and can't wait to go back.
More Christmas
Opa and Nanna's presents came the next day! Ani got a new Barbie - her face tells it all and Ruston got a fork lift truck that goes up and down and moves forward and backwards with a push of a button. The best part is it is really loud! Thanks Opa and Nanna! It is now one of his favorite toys!

More presents
Opa's and Nana's presents came and they were great too. Ani loves Barbie - as you can see. Ruston got a fork lift that makes lots of noise. So, another perfect gift!
Gloves?
A little confused. Ruston was certain that his batman socks were gloves. We couldn't convince him differently! Silly boy.
Big Truck
Ruston got a big truck, that stores lots of smaller cars and trucks. He was pretty happy too!
Dancerella
Ani put on a Dance show for Virgel and I one night. She tried very hard to do it just like on the video.
A little bit of a warm day
The upper 40's felt much warmer than the -10 degrees the week before so we kicked the kids outside.
It has happened!
Yep, he has found the guns. Of course, this is Ani's PINK gun. Dad says I have to buy him his own, one that isn't pink!

Santa Came!
Ruston was really done when he found chocolate! He loves it. It was great. They were both so excited this year. Ani got Ruston up and told him Santa had come. He almost flew out of bed!
The end of a treasure hunt
The conclusion of a short treasure hunt lead the kids down stairs to find the, BIG presents. A mountain and kitchen are now located in my basement. As Virgel puts it, at least the kitchen has a mountain view!
Pick a boo!
What a silly little boy. He loves to sit in our laps. He is starting to get his Daddy's sense of humor. The other day I asked him if he loved me. He said yes, then said he was "Daddy's Boy!" and started to laugh. What a ham!
The Next Big Model!
Daddy took a picture of Ruston and Ani ran in and wanted her picture taken. She started with the modeling poses. Dad took about 30 pictures in different poses. It was very difficult not to laugh, but she was VERY serious about it!
My angels
They love the angel on the tree and can't wait to see it after I take it down from the tree.
