Happy New Year, 2010 Here We Come!

Happy New Year! We have been having lots of fun over the past week. Uncle Billy and "Uncle" Patti have been in town from California to ring in the new year with us. (Travis called her Uncle Patti once, so it stuck! Just some family humor.)We enjoy having them around, they love our boys and it gives them not one but TWO more adults to play with! Here are lots of pictures to show you what we have been up to.
Santa brought a tent with a tunnel for the boys, they love playing in it. I took this picture of them through the tunnel side. As I have been reflecting on the past year I realize there always is a light (or 2!) at the end of the tunnel! So many times in life I really need to remember that.
Yes, they still enjoy the computer. I am so scared just to think about what they will be doing on here in the future! lol
Connor is always on the move, it is hard to get a picture of him. But, here he is in this little sweater. This sweater brings a lot of memories for me. I bought this when we were waiting for Travis, it was over Travis' first Christmas only he was still in Blago and we hadn't even met him yet. We didn't end up going to Russia in the winter and Travis never got to wear this sweater. I kept it in his closet hoping that maybe somebody else in the family would get to wear it. Well, that time has come and I must say Connor looks pretty cute wearing it!
We all stayed up to ring in the new year, hats and all!
Uncle Billy and Patti joined in on our family fun of doing things the "old fashioned" way. (It seems like everybody likes Connor's new drum set!!)
Travis had so much fun that he broke my plastic spoon... not once but TWICE! ringing in 2010. Oh well, it was old and from the 1990's, guess it was time to retire.
Cutie pie Connor on New Year's morning.
On New Year's day night we all went to Zoolights. We hadn't been in a few years, it was awesome. The pictures don't do the lights proper justice. Here are the boys ready for their ride.
Yes, Grammy and Grandpa joined us in the fun.

Here is our family starting out 2010 together, on one continent, in one country, in one state, in one city under one roof.
Happy New Year!!
Love,
The Hawes Family

Glad I'm not the only one that let my toddler stay up until Midnight. :) Happy New Year!
