The Rivard Fam: Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve this year was very low-key. We I ended up baking all day, so by night time I was done. Luckily we had my besties, Pei Wei, cook us up some yummy dinner. Afterwards we opened up our traditional Christmas Eve present (pajamas) and sent the kiddos to bed. Alain and I had wrapped most of the presents a couple of weeks early, so we just had some final things to do. We wanted to go look at the Christmas lights around our neighborhood because we have a doosy of a house by us (the picture is at the end of this post), but Ty didn't have a nap, so you all know what that means: early bed time! Overall it was a very busy day, but a nice, relaxing, night.

Boy, Ty sure got the hang of opening presents really fast!

(He got Mickey Mouse pj's-his favorite)

For some reason I don't have a picture of Cole opening his pj's. Probably because he ripped through the wrapping like a Tasmanian devil.

(He got Star Wars pj's- his favorite.)

Oh, there's Cole opening his present!

I just love that Logan is happy with everything he gets :)

(He got some from Old Navy. I couldn't find his favorite-Star Trek- at a reasonable price.)

Here it is in all it's glory:

I think it's better than the National Lampoon's House!!! Isn't it awesome?!

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.
