Photos from our Christmas of 2009

We had lots of fun in Christmas 2009 with family coming to town, going to Church Christmas Eve, and attending holiday parties. Here are some pictures from these fun activities!

Starting with some Christmas Day pictures... Pics are out of order...








Cousins Derek and Daniel made the trip to Ashburn (an entire hour) to celebrate Christmas with us!


Joshua and Papa Corkle are playing together...

Nana giving Aiden kisses...





Joshua showing off his Mcqueen puzzle book given by Santa.

Aiden on his new 3 wheeler given by Grandma and Grandpa - it's an Aiden favorite.


Joshua and Aiden opening their first joint gift - Disney Mcqueen Car Geotrax set given by Santa.



Joshua and Aiden were taste testing some of Santa's cookies... and we took some pictures by the tree.

2 NEW POSTS - Our Beach trip, Winter wonderland and Pre-Christmas Photos!

Visiting the National Christmas tree where we also saw Santa - Aiden was still not a fan.



Aiden and Joshua on top of the hill after sleigh riding....


Justin and Joshua enjoying some sleigh riding... Aiden didn't like it.


Family picture in the snow...



Joshua's Friend Allie playing out in the snow with him.


Pics from our 19 inches of snow!!!






Aiden and Joshua in front of the Christmas tree. Justin and I in front of the community tree.



First few visits with Santa - Joshua wouldn't go at the church, second one - we had to hold both boys... Third one at the mall - Joshua did great and was showing Santa his book.






First snowfall - about 5 inches...






In September, 2009, We took a family beach trip to Sandbridge Beach (near Va Beach). We managed to have alot of fun and experience some new places; however, the weather left something to be desired. We had two warm days and the rest were either cold or rainy all day. But we did manage to get some time on the beach because the boys LOVE playing in the sand!



It's been so long and not sure if anyone is ever checking... but just in case

I wanted to post some happenings about the holidays and pictures too!!! For more immediate pics, check out our facebook page. Until then... I will try to do better in the New Year.

Last post was July so lots have been happening... both boys are doing very well. Talking, playing, full of energy and personality! Aiden is nearing the terrible twos... he's nice one minute and yelling at us the next then happy again. He's got an extensive vocabulary - more then what Joshua was saying at this age. He loves Elmo and airplanes, his blankie, playing with OUR digital camera, splashing in the bath tub, dancing to any sort of music. Joshua has a bit more attitude - the 3's have been a bit more challenging then the 2's... But he's still doing well. He's a little less picky and enjoying daycare (school), his friends, his brother some or most of the time, his toys, his 'lovie puppies', playin games on the computer and being outside! Both boys LOVE being outside! We got 2 feet of snow almost here and they boys enjoyed playing in it. I'll post some of those picdtures. THere's just too much to write about since I'm so far behind. WE took our first plane ride to Ga - the flight there was ok but the flight back was something out of a horrible movie - too much to explain here. But we all had a great time and saw lots of cousins. We also had our first professional photo shoot... went pretty well given the circumstances.
We had a great Christmas - Nana and Papa Corkle came to visit and we saw our cousins Derek and Daniel. It was a busy time period but fun! Pics to follow.
I'll stop writing and start posting pics now!










Concludes some of my favorites from our professional photo shoot... we had many more and look forward doing this again!

Justin and his 'mini-me'

Aiden's first haircut - he hated it!

Halloween in Ga

Halloween at home - Joshua didn't start out happy but later got into it. We flew back this day.

Hokies brothers!
