Our White Christmas....

The Blanton's headed to Lansing Michigan for a white Christmas this year! Kim worked a deal with mother nature to have snow for a few days while we were there and for it to warm up before we had to fly back so we could travel safely. Thanks Kim!
Brosnan's first experience in the snow consisted of about 5 steps and then a face plant! Its hard to walk in all those clothes!

It didn't take long before we got our 'snow legs' and were sledding and throwing snowballs!

After Ralphie realized how much of Brosnan's food ended up on the ground, the two of them became best of friends!
And as a thank you for his clean-up efforts, we got him some new antlers!

Gummaw Sitty got some antlers and a Rudolph nose!

All Brosnan really wanted for Christmas was to NOT sit on Santa's lap!
Christmas was so much fun! We spent the entire day opening gifts by the fire!
Rob and Chris got marshmallow guns from Santa! Since the marshmallow's should be slightly stale to launch, they do not recommend aiming at each others mouths (see below).
the target:
Brosnan got his first football from Uncle Rob. He LOVED it!
We got to see the deer on a daily basis! What a fun Christmas treat! Do you think we could get them to wear the antlers next year?
And it wouldn't be a Lane get-together if the boys weren't trying to fix a computer!

More Brosnan's Birthday Party!

Thank you Cheryl! Your pictures are awesome! The only guest that avoided getting her picture taken was Mya. After the papparzi follow her around the zoo for her birthday last month, she must have wanted some privacy!

Brosnan just said Duck. Actually he said Duh about 20 times before we realized what he was saying. I wonder what else he has been trying to tell us?

Brosnan's birthday...

Brosnan's first birthday party was yesterday and 12 of his friends came over to help us celebrate! Brosnan was a great host! Everyone has a wonderful time and amazingly there was only one instance of tears and it only lasted 5 seconds! Although I have a few pictures, Cheryl stepped up as our photographer! I will upload some other pictures when they are available!

Louigi Montolio created a cake masterpiece for Brosnan!

Not only did it look good - but it tasted good too!
The ball pit was a huge hit! All the kids took turns playing!
For those of you shopping for Christmas presents, it was noted by multiple parents, that the two most popular toys (this does not include toys received today) were the Melissa and Doug 'Chomp and Clack Alligator Push Toy' and the 'Home Depot - With Lights and Sounds Tool Bench'.
