Too cute not to post

We've got two cameras that we use to take pictures and these are from the other one. They were just too cute not to put out here for all our friends and family to see. As you can see, Rylie was a big help this year decorating the Xmas tree. It was so sunny the day after Thanksgiving that Rylie made Dad go back to the house to get her shades to wear while riding her bike. And, Brookie absolutely loves her cereal. Mom and Dad are hoping that she's going to be our eater since Rylie is not...but it's hard to tell because Rylie ate pretty well at that age too.

Fun in the snow

It's technically not even winter yet and we've already had more snow than we have had in a long time. Rylie loved going out and helping Dad shovel the drive way. I think he also showed her how to make snowballs. If the weather keeps up, she'll definitely get good use out of the snow pants we got her.

Christmas Fun 2010...

We have had several parties the past weekend. First, Rylie and Brooklyn's school had Santa come and visit. Rylie did not cry this year, but she did maintain her distance. As for Brooklyn, she had no clue...wait til next year.

We also had the third annual Arickx Family Christmas Bash for all the little ones. Plain and simple...it was nuts, but the kids had a blast. They did cool crafts, kind of ate dinner, had a gift exchange and played all night long.

Colts vs Cowboys!!!

Mom and Dad had a very long and draining weekend with Little Brooklyn being sick, but we were able to go to the game at the last minute. Split family nonetheless. Well, maybe 3 to 1 split... :)

It was a really good game. It went to overtime where the Cowboys pulled it out 38-35. There were blocked punts for touchdowns, interceptions returned for touchdowns and bunches of big play.

Colts vs Patriots

Mom and Dad took a much needed little weekend vacation to go see the Colts play the Patriots in Boston. Grandma and Granpa Watt watched the little ones for us. I am pretty sure that the little ones wore them totally out. We stayed with one of Keith's co-workers who works for Veolia Energy in Boston. We toured downtown Boston on Saturday and saw a lot of historic sites. Everything from, the Old North Churh, to Paul Revere's house, to the graves of John Hancock, Ben Franklin and several others. We also saw Fanuiel Hall, home of all the secret meetings for the revolution led by Sam Adams. We got razed all day long since we had our Colts attire on. The fans were really cool and had a good time with us.

We then had dinner in the town of Foxboro at Patriot Place on Saturday night. It is a really cool area. The stadium is in the middle of no where. They built an outdoor mall with all kinds of restaurants all around Gillette Stadium.

On gameday, twelve of us went tailgating right outside the stadium. It was a great atmosphere. The fans teased us a bit, but it was all in good taste. We saw everything from steamed lobsters to grilled calms...I guess they do it a little different in Baaaston. Dad even raced a couple of young pats fans with my turkey hat on. Yes, he had a couple to drink... :) The game was awesome eventhough the Colts blew it in the end. It was Dad's 95th NFL game and his 12th NFL stadium attended. Only 20 to go... :)
