Christmas 2010

Well Christmas has come and gone like a month ago already, that's how long I have been meaning to get some Christmas pictures up on here! We had a great time with family and the kids, naturally, got so many gifts they didn't know what to play with first!

Sweet Lola

Yes, it's true. Lola can be so sweet. She's at a funny age- always trying to make us laugh (she's usually pretty successful)! Here she is trying on Mr. Potato Head's Glasses and below that is a video of her while we were out to eat for lunch (obviously too close to naptime as she kept falling asleep - it doesn't show it in the video, but she would wake up and shove some food into her mouth and then fall back asleep)!

A Visit to the Dentist

Teague went to the dentist for the first time today. We went to Central MN Pediatric Dentistry where my friend Kelly works (thats's her in the pictures). He did an awesome job and was told he has great teeth. One problem....time to give up the guk guk (paci). He was very sad about the news - but yes, I know it's long overdue. We are currently in negotiations regarding this topic!

Headbanger's Ball

Merry Christmas!

Even with the snowstorm here in West Central MN, we made it to my mom and dad's. Ryan, my mom and I took the kids to the pool at the RFC and for the first time Teague was tall enough to use the slide! He LOVED it. And Lola LOVED "swimming" - she was putting her face in the water, kicking her legs and moving her arms (I am only KINDA hoping that one of my kids will do competitive swimming like I did growing up and into HS - Ryan I am sure hopes that kid will be Lola as the HS program for boys runs at the same time as the bball season)! Anyway, it was fun and the kids loved it. After that my parents took the kids for us so we could finally have our annual Christmas date (that's always our "present" to eachother - we just don't feel we "need" anything except some nice quality time together -AKA: ALONE!) Our original date was to be in Mpls the weekend of the snowstorm that torn the Metrodome to shreds, so we had to stay home. SO this was the next best opportunity. We enjoyed an awesome leisurely dinner at Bello Cucina.

Snowstorm all the way to Morris

Here Teague is taking another nap - just 2 hours after waking from his afternoon nap. He's definitely been our best sleeper. We brag his sleeping patterns up like crazy because Lola is so terrible!

And this would be Lola in the car - screaming is her typical way of traveling - or pointing and whining.

The Dusha family Christmas last Sunday. We had a yummy brunch and a good time with good family!

The best pic of us - Ryan's eyes are best closed as he has had a bout of pink eye that has left his eyes looking like he got the raw end of a bad fist fight!

My two swimming maniacs!

She loved floating around on her back and kicking her legs (future backstroker?!)

Here he comes for the 273rd time!

Waiting for the pool to open....how sweet and cute!

All butt and gut - as we refer to goo goo!

Hey cutie!

We hope you have a Merry Christmas!
