The Rivard Fam: CHRISTmas Eve

CHRISTmas Eve

We were lucky enough to find out at 11:30 in the morning that Alain's mom and youngest brother were going to be coming to our house for Christmas!! After a lot of running around to clean up the house (no thanks to my excellent housewife skills) Abuelita and Michael arrived just in time for our Christmas Eve events. We were so happy to have them since this was the first Christmas we have been able to spend with us.
We spent Christmas Eve at my in-laws house. It was quite trying because Ty was horrible!! He goes to bed at 6:30, and we were there from 6-8, so the whole time was a little stressful for Alain and I. We were totally bugging everybody, me included! My mother-in-law made a full traditional Christmas dinner with everything you could think of (thanks again Jana!). We opened up our annual Christmas Eve pajamas, then ran home to get the baby to bed. The kids had fun, and that's all that matters!!

Logan, Dad, Ty, and Michael (Alain's youngest bro.)

Logan

Logan will be 11 in April. I can't believe my baby will be that old! He is in the 5th grade, and can't wait to go to middle school next year. He is still a great helper around the house, and his mommy really appreciates it! He has started to take on the big responsibility of babysitting his younger brothers. It is SO nice having a built in baby sitter, so thank you Logan! Logan still wants to be a pilot when he grows up. I don't know that that will ever change. He is still playing tennis here in ABQ, which his parents love. Logan is an excellent reader, loves Cub Scouts, and is an all-around happy boy.

Cole

Cole will be 5 in Febrary (where does the time go?). He is very excited to start going to mommy's preschool again. He, too, is a great helper (but only on his terms). He has learned to love to play with Ty, which often gets both of them in trouble. Rough-housing is their favorite, but only until someone gets hurt. Cole very much likes to play video games (thanks Uncle Michael), and excels beyone his years (this is not a compliment to his mother's parenting!). He also enjoys, tremendously, playing with Star Wars. As a middle child he is often ignored, but his booming voice makes sure everyone knows he's around :) He played his first season of soccer this last fall, and loved it! He is just starting his first season of basketball, and, shall we say is learning to love it. Cole is such a joyful addition to our family, and we love him dearly.

Tyler

Ty, more than ever, is still feisty!! He even more so knows what he wants and, sadly, he usually gets it. The only problem is that he knows what he wants, but his parents don't always know what he wants. We've been working on his every-growing vocabulary. Saying that Ty loves Mickey Mouse is an understatement. He carries around his "mouse" and any other stuffed animal he can fit in his hands. He loves on them and kisses them all the time. Sometimes when Mom goes into check on him at night he'll kiss his mouse while he's sleeping. It's the cutest thing ever! Ty loves his older brothers, and loves that they dode on him. He is definitely a rough brute! Beating up on Cole is one of his favorite things to do. They both have battle wounds to prove it! He is now in 4T clothes (remember, he's not quite 2), but everyone think's he's older. When he throws fits in the store people look at us funny ;) Even though he's a handful, we love him and am glad he has joined the Rivard ranks.
