Happy Holidays

Seasons greetings from Conner and Carson! It has been a fun Christmas for us this year. The boys really got it this year, and responded very well to our constant reminders that Santa was watching. We got our annual publicity on the local news channel.

We also had our first Christmas play. C&C were shepards, with outfits expertly crafted by their Mummy. The show was all holiday music, and Carson actually did a little bit of singing. Conner was more interested in looking at the scenery.



Yes, the boys did just fine by Santa. Lots of new toys, puzzles, tinker toys, bouncy balls, sock monkeys, you name it. They got super big dump trucks that work very well with the sit down scoopers that Carson demonstrates in the picture below.



Both boys totally dig their new toys. (yeah, I said it) They spent an afternoon scooping pebbles from Ernie and Trisha's yard and putting them into the dump trucks. We had a record-high 66 degree day after Christmas, which allowed us to do lots of outdoor activity. Conner played king of the mountain on a back yard brush pile.



It really was fun sharing Christmas with the boys this year. They got so excited about Santa and presents and singing. Their parents got into the Christmas spirit bigtime while watching C&C enjoy themselves so much. We hope you had a great holiday too, and a very happy new year.

Happy Anniversary!

Today is a big day for the Marsh fam. Mummy and Daddy had their very first date on December 2, 1998. The date was at America's Pub in Westport, where a mutual friend was playing in a metal band! Mummy asks that we not mention it was (t...e...n...) years ago. Carson and Conner plan on taking their parents out to dinner tonight.



We had a nice Thanksgiving at the Mema and Grandpa's house. The boys didn't have a very good naptime after the meal, so they didn't get pumpkin pie (such strict parents!!). We were so proud that they took their punishment like little men and played quietly in the living room while the adults had dessert. Only later, when they began asking excessively to go to the potty, did we discover TWELVE empty wrappers in the bowl of Hershey's Kisses where they were playing!



Yeah, you are surely going to get tired of seeing pics of the guys in Jayhawk garb. Sorry, can't help it. They got tattoos (temporary...) and balloon hats in anticipation of the big, big, big football game last weekend. Apologies to any MU fans, but holy cow that was an awesome game. Go Jayhawks!!



The boys are really excited for Christmas. More so than last year. We took them to Lawrence's version of the Plaza lighting where they saw Santa get rescued from the roof of a department store. We still can't get them to pinpoint what they want for Christmas, but we should probably enjoy that now and prepare for the years that they come at us with a two-page list. Happy Holidays to all our friends and family!!
