City Slicker's Head To The Farm

Lisa's intern at her office (Kyle) invited us to bring the boys out to his family's farm to meet all the animals and horseback riding.  Needless to say we had an awesome time with Kyle, his sister Kimber, and of course all the animals.

Alaster was excited to head to the Farm.

As soon as we got out of the car we were greeted by a goat and...

…this potbelly pig.

Heading to the barn to ride the pony.

Xander was a little unsure at first, but he soon mustered the courage to invite his brother for a ride.

Our two little Cowboys.

Then it was Alaster's turn to take Mommy for a ride on his pony.

Daddy couldn't pass up the chance to go for a pony ride with his boy.

Our Trip to Legoland

Legoland doesn't have much to do for kids under 5, but we still had a good time.  The aquarium was lots of fun too.

Alaster was getting very excited to go in.

Xander and Dad especially enjoyed the new Star Wars portion of the park.  Unfortunately all we could do is look, they didn't have any rides.

Mommy smooch'n her boy.

Xander did a surprisingly great job of driving the boat.

It wasn't made of Lego's, but we still liked it.

Xander took Mommy for a airplane ride.

Alaster made a new friend at the aquarium.

The boys had a great time touching all the starfish and other creatures you find in the shallows.

Inside the walk through tank; the boys were a bit unsure.

Xmas Day - Part 1

Our first look at what Santa left for us

Xander asked Santa for a new pair of roller skates and guess what he got?

Santa left Alaster a new Radio Flyer Scooter.

Xander discovered that Santa ate his cookies, drank his milk and gave the carrots to his Reindeer.

Santa remember a pair for Brit too.

Back to opening presents; Xander has mastered the art of tearing off the wrapping.

Alaster on the other hand was still more impressed with the wrapping than what was inside it.

Xander like his Star Wars action figures.
