Last night we got to go out to dinner with Nana Sharon, Pappy Dave and Aunt Susan and Uncle Gary. David was very good sitting at the big kids table. He enjoyed sharing peanuts with everyone at the table. He ate very big bites of his mac and cheese so he could get his cherished Mater Pez dispenser as a reward - Thank you Aunt Susan!

New Year's Eve Wii
We let the kids play baseball on the Wii. They had fun trying to pitch and hit the ball. I'm very appreciative of the strap that holds the controller in their hands. I think we may have had some flying controllers otherwise. 
Paul took a turn playing baseball with David.
Shelby gave my parents some instruction for the boxing game. She's a lightweight professional in her spare time.
The instruction seemed to help my mom more than my dad. She took him out without any problems.
Ryan and Kaitlyn did not understand why they couldn't play. Maybe in 2 more years.

New Year's Eve Downtown
We went downtown State College for the First Night activites on Wednesday afternoon. It was bitter cold - 5 degrees real feel. We braved the elements with David and Kelsey to check out the ice sculptures and see the reindeer. 
The library had a children's activity set up. David and Kelsey made hats and 2009 glasses.
Here are David and Kelsey sledding on the ice hill at the Central Parklet. After they slammed into the hay bail at the end of the mountain David was ready for another ride. He loved it!
It was so cold. I don't think Kelsey was able to move her arms or legs. Shelby had her bundled.
The reindeer were sleeping because they were so tired from Christmas. David got to touch their antlers.

Please Touch Museum
While we were visiting Paul's parents we took the boys to the Please Touch museum in Philadelphia. It was so much fun. There was so much for the boys to do and nothing was off limits for their little hands. We were there for over 4 hours. This was David's favorite part of the day - riding the bicycle into the air. He's up over our heads in this picture. He wasn't afraid at all - slightly scary for me to think about. 
Here's David pretending to be Dr. Brown and examining Ryan.
The boys had a short tea party in the Alice in Wonderland exhibit.
At the end of the day we went for a ride on the carousel inside the museum. It was beautiful. Ryan was very pleased with himself.
We made our way back to this slide before we left. Ryan and David both loved it. Ryan was able to go down by himself, but David wanted to go down with him. It's nice to see that there are moments when they do want to be with each other.

Grammy and Poppy's House
On Friday we visited Grammy Jilly and Poppy Dave. David was excited give Grammy Jill her photobook and point out all the pictures to her. 
The boys had a blast with their cousins and all of the presents. They loved the cars and the transformers!
David was happy to relax with Uncle Pete and watch a movie after his long day.

Christmas Day
David and Ryan were up early on Christmas morning. They must be pretty good kids because Santa brought a lot of presents. David was a very surprised, possible awe struck. He stood and looked at all the packages for a very long time - 5 minutes. We had to tell him that he could open them. Of course he was a good big brother and helped Ryan open his presents too. 
David got me peanut butter meltaways for Christmas and told me that I could share them with him. He's so kind.
The boys got Paul matching Rose Bowl t-shirts to wear to watch the game together.
Ryan's favorite present seems to be his Little People Busy Home (This is what Paul calls it, because it is NOT a dollhouse!).
David's favorite present appears to be his space shuttle and space ship. He refused to come to dinner unless he could bring it with him to the table.

Christmas Eve
We spent Christmas Eve with Nana Sharon and Pappy Dave. David was so excited to give them the book we made on snapfish of pictures of the family throughout the year. He was eager to point himself out on each page.
