My Kids

Here are a few pictures of the kids since we've been back. Reed had a birthday party for his friend, Evie and of course, we've been shopping.

Kid's Night Out

Every year on Dec. 23rd, my parents babysit all grand kids while us three kids and our spouses go out for dinner and a night of fun. It is the one time a year that we all get to go out together without kids and have some fun and do some sibling and sibling - in - law bonding. It's always great fun. This year, we went to a restaurant named "Rustica" in downtown Kalamazoo. Pretty good food, great wine and good service. We had a lot of fun.

Fun with the Cousins

These are our pictures of when we were in the states. Reed, Sophie, Brady, Garrett and Raisa all had a great time playing together. I must say, they are a bunch of super cute kids!

Kids

While in the states, I was finally able to meet my friend's kids. Two of my very good friends had kids in 2009 and I finally got to meet them. They are cute and all played well.

Christmas with Koleszars

We got some good pictures of the kids opening up their gifts. They had so much fun with Grandpa Jim and Grandma Lee.

Chicago and my girls

I haven't seen my girlfriends in so long so we met up in Chicago for some fun.

Brady's Play

Sorry mandy, I don't think I got one single good picture. I don't think I know how to really use my camera.

Christmas Party at Daycare

For the Christmas party at the kid's daycare, they light lanterns and go searching for Santa Claus. The kids love it and we had great fun. Then Santa goes back with us for snacks, presents and some singing. Reed was really into it this year, but for some reason, refused to talk to Santa.

Weihnachtsmarkt

This was the only Christmas Market we went to all year. I guess next year we'll be able to go to plenty. They have very cool things there and it's fun for the kids too.

Waldegg

This was the coolest place we had ever been. A zoo, restaurant and playground, all wrapped into one. Whoever comes to visit this year will get to go to this place. It was pretty cool and the kids LOVED it.
