Let It Snow!

Well, both Drew and Conner are loving all of this snow!  Yes, they love it and fuss to go outside (thank goodness Daddy handles the cold better than Mommy!)  They have both been sledding, riding in the "ranger" and eating snow day after day!  The joys of being a kid!  Here are some of my favorite pictures!



Christmas - 2010!

What a great Christmas!  Conner was definitely in the spirit of Christmas this year and he got it - got Santa - got Jesus' birthday!  It was so fun to see the anticipation and the surprise in his eyes! He asked Santa for a digger, monster truck tickets and whack-a-mole game!  He must have been a very good boy - because Santa brought him everything he asked for!  

Drew did wonderful on his first Christmas.  We had quite a few gatherings to go to and he always did well - even when he was a little sleep deprived.  He is definitely in the shy stage and the stranger anxiety stage but he let his guard down over the holidays and let many unfamiliar faces hold him.  Drew got a new car from Santa and the little racers race-track.  He is such a good boy and such a joy.  I was praying that he would get his two front teeth for Christmas - but he only has one so far!  So now  I am praying the other is not too far  behind so that our sleep pattern can get back to normal!

McClellan sibling Christmas!

The family just keeps on growing!

Matthews' Christmas!  A surprise visit from Santa!

Christmas Eve with Ninnie!

Christmas Eve at the McNulty house with MawMaw, PawPaw, Uncle Brad, Aunt Amanda, Uncle Patrick, GiGi, Gruncle Bill and Graunt Mindy!  Woah!  Conner's first words - who are all those presents for?  Honestly 99% were for Conner and Drew!

MawMaw and PawPaw even got Conner and Drew their very own "ranger"!~

Christmas Morning!!!!  Santa was so good to us this year!

The only thing Santa didn't bring --- Daddy's snowmobile!  But - we have plenty of fun on Uncle Jeff and Aunt Kristin's snowmobiles!  Conner loves doing "fish-tails" and "poppin wheelies!"

Uncle Jeff babysitting Drew!

It is so hard to believe that another year has past us by!  I look forward to 2011 and all that it will bring!

It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas....

We are Thankful!

 This year, we hosted Thanksgiving at our house.  It worked out perfectly with the boys' schedules and the food and company were all great.  Conner and Jason smoked their turkey they got last spring for Thanksgiving.  They were both very proud of themselves to say the least! 

Drew on his 1st Thanksgiving!

We have so much to be thankful for this year! One of the things that we are most thankful for is MawMaw Jacque.  On August 14th, with less than 12 hours notice, she rearranged her entire life (her jobs, her retreats, her plans, everything)  to come and watch the boys during the work day so that Jason and I did not have to worry about our boys or our jobs.  Wow, right? She travels from Indy to Coatesville at least three days a week.  We are so thankful!  Not only has it been a blessing but it has also been great for the boys.  They L-O-V-E her.  The only drawback...well I often hear things like this, "Mommy, can I have a pixi-stick for lunch?"  "Absolutely not, Conner!"  "MawMaw lets me have them for lunch" (with a little smirk as he walks away!)  HA!  Or my favorite; "Mommy, quit being a boob"  Hmm.....  We love you MawMaw and we are so, so, so thankful for all you (and PawPaw) do for our family!

 Drew is LOVING "big people" food.  For Thanksgiving he had mashed potatoes, corn casserole and chicken noodles.  Let's just say that the next day he wanted nothing to do with his jarred green beans and bananas!

Conner's favorite game/toy/thing to do is riding his four-wheeler.  He wants to learn how to "pop a wheelie" "all by myself"  Here is Jason's attempt at teaching him...the picture is blurry because my eyes were closed.

 Here are pictures of the boys at the exact same age.  Do you think they look alike?  I think the only difference is that Conner had no hair and Drew has tons of crazy hair!!!

We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!  We are thankful that you are in our lives!
