Happy New Year!

For New Year's Eve we went to Chatham's First Night.  It was really great.  We started with a bubble-wrap stomp then went to the Toe Jam Puppet Band show.  The show was great and Elan got called up onto stage to play a cow in the play.  He did great, especially given how full the room was....he didn't break character once and got everyone to laugh, which he loved.

After that we went a played miniature golf and made party hats.  After watching the Yo-Yo show we headed down to the town center and joined the noise parade which marched around town blowing horns and ringing bells.  The parade ended at the baseball field when we had a front row seat to pretty awesome fireworks.  We finished up the evening going to a circus show.  Grandma and Grandpa D stayed out longer but we went back to the cape house to put the kids down.  And Midnight we went down to our beach and were able to watch the midnight fireworks in Chatham as well as Falmouth while sitting on the beach.

2013 was a great year....we are really excited for what 2014 has in store for us!

 

 

Ski Lesson

Today Elan, Mat and Ryan went skiing at Wachusett Mountain.  Elan did great and had a lot of fun and didn't stay on the bunny hill for long before Elan wanted to go on the big slopes. We met the 3 of them for lunch at the mountain and then took Elan home and Mat and Ryan skied the rest of the day.  Elan fell asleep in the car on the way home and was exhausted the rest of the night. 

Ice Skating

Today we got out of the house for a little bit to take Elan ice skating.  Mat, Uncle Ryan, Grandma D and Elan all took to the ice.  They didn't stay too long because it was cold and no one was wearing enough clothes but they all had fun nonetheless.

Christmas 2013

Merry Christmas!!  The kids woke up to a ton of gifts.  We spent the morning opening gifts and playing.  In the afternoon we walked down to the beach but it was really cold so we didn't stay that long.  After was more time playing before a yummy Christmas dinner.

 

Christmas Eve

Monday was the first day of our Christmas Vacation on the cape.  The kids helped finish decorating the Christmas tree and we went to a light display for a local charity in Hyannis.  On Christmas Eve, we went swimming at the Y and decorated Christmas cookies and Uncle Ryan flew in after the kids went to bed.  We think the kids will be really excited to see him, and all the gifts, in the morning.
