Mommy got old; then it snowed!

Some residual Christmas pictures from Lina's camera.  The annual Judy Family photo:

Halmoni and Pop-Pop and their band of misfits.  :o)

Ryan got a backpack like Evan's. 

 Four little monkies jumping on the couch...  it was such a coincidence that I had four pairs of the same jammies in just the right sizes!  I was so excited!  :o) 

 Three little monkies jumping on the trampoline... 

 They even convinced Halmoni to join in on the fun!

 Lina chased Penny around enough to get the perfect model picture.  :o)

The boys helping me celebrate my 30th birthday.

 Evan diving into his cupcake in a cone.

 Like father, like son...  licking the icing off his plate!

 Ryan went for just the icing...

 And Caden loved ALL of it! 

Four generations:

Ryan thought it was hilarious to hop in our bed and be wrapped up in the covers. 

 Evan working on his goalie skills.

The boys enjoying their first snow day with Daddy this past Thursday.  They took to the trail and banged all of the snow off of the leaves and branches with sticks.

 This past weekend, Evan tossed his couch over the balcony and then decided he wanted to "sleep in the kitchen".  All at 6:30 in the morning... 

It snowed again on Friday evening and we were able to do some sledding on Saturday morning.  And by sledding, Daddy was the sled-dog...  :o) 

They started out upright... then Ryan kind of took over most of the space. 

 Show me your snowballs for the snow fight...

Good work!  :o) 

Enjoying their time in the arcade at Wal-Mart "shooting deer" while Daddy checked out. 

 Ry-Guy at the doctor's office today, battling a stomach bug.  He was the perfect patient today, and while he failed to gain any weight since his visit in October, managed to grow about 2 inches.

December... all of it!

Evan getting some snuggles in with Penny before she became an outside kitty.

 The Air Mobility Command Museum on the Air Force Base houses trains during the holiday season.  The boys were entranced!

Evan, the young pilot in training. 

Ryan going for the title of youngest pilot ever. 

 Cockpit crew!

 Former Air Force One.  Unfortunately, it was not open for visitors at the time.

We traveled down the Ocean City Winterfest of Lights for a chilly but super fun ride through lots and lots of bright lights.

Ryan showing off his new books on Christmas morning. 

 Evan got some cool movies.

Then to Mom-Mom and Dad-Dad's for breakfast and some more presents. 

 Ryan loves his new Great White shark and tiny sand tiger shark!

Evan revealing his Cars racetrack. 

New shark book! 

Then back to our house for the big trampoline reveal.

They like that Mommy and Daddy can jump with them, and do tricks like this: 

And, to no surprise, the boys are evicted from the trampoline so Daddy can do flips and jump super high.  :o)

For some reason, I didn't get any pictures of the Hertzog side of Christmas.  I think it was because Lina got a new camera and she was the photographer of the evening...  :o)

The Judy cousins watching Despicable Me while the adults tried to enjoy a peaceful dinner.

 A few days after Christmas, we headed to the Baltimore Aquarium with Mom-Mom, Dad-Dad, Aunt Jenn, Kate and Jack.  Here are the big ones at the start of the Aquarium day.

 A tank of turtles and manta rays.

Ryan's favorite - the manta ray! 

We spent a lot of time monitoring the shark tank. 

 Everybody waiting patiently for the dolphin show.

 Evan making the manta ray puppet talk.

 Showing off their new shark friends.

The new race track all set up. 

 Great Halmoni helping Evan with the cars. 

Ry-Guy showing off his shampoo mohawk. 

Evan and Daddy do some New Year's Eve bowling. 

 Ryan's first attempt at bowling.  He particularly enjoyed the "crash!" at the end.
