New Years 2009!

New Years at Grandma and Grandpa Marshalls. We eat a lot! Play a lot of games and march around the circle banging pots and pans with Grandpa in the lead when the clock strikes 12. Its been a tradition since we were little. This is Brady's second year! We love it!
Lining up!

New York!

During the Christmas break we went to New York! It was fun but Mindi was big pregnant, Katie was sick pregnant and Dad had a bad knee. It was kind of funny!

On our way! Of course the sick pregnant one is in the back middle! That was not a very fun ride!

THE SUBWAY

Figuring out how to get around.

The girls

On the subway

Battery Park with the Statue of Liberty in the background!

We went to the museum for the twin towers!

It was pretty emotional!

Dinner.. we were starving!

Mmmmmmmmm!

This was a nun begging for money in the restaurant.. I tried to pretend I was taking a picture of Kim but she looked right at me as I was taking it

Rockefeller Center

Time Square

The Hersey Store

The M&M Store

Christmas Day!

Every year we come down the stairs oldest to youngest, except now the tallest is in front! Here are moms beautiful decorations!
So since Mom has had this really cute thing for probably a couple years and never had pictures in it.. i put pictures in for her for Christmas! I think she really liked it!

Here we are Christmas morning with our presents in the pajamas Grandma and Grandpa gave us!

Dad and Mindi! Poor Dad had a horrible headache all morning.

Mom, Jeff, and Kim!

Then of course all he rest of the day we played with our presents! Brady and Don got some molding play stuff and here are the results of that!

If you can't tell behind the disguise, this is Don!

Then like the rest of the trip Brady, Jeff and Don played the Wii all day! Oh and for anyone that knows this game.. They beat the TANK GAME! They were pretty proud of themselves!! lol!

Christmas Eve!

Mindi, Don and Mom made a terrific Christmas Eve dinner!
We had Zuppa Toscana from Olive Garden, home made bread and artichoke dip, salad, jello, and Italian Sodas!! It was so delicious!

On Christmas Eve we usually go sing to older people who have no family or those who need a little cheer! We went to the hospital to sing to a friend of moms who was there because of cancer. She cried as we sang and so did we. Dad offered a prayer before we left. We held hangs because thats what they do in their faith. It was incredibly spiritual and wonderful! We also went to an 80 or so year old convert named Howard! He is always great to be around. It was fun to listen to him try to keep up with us during "We wish you a Merry Christmas"! Then of course we get to open ONE present on Christmas Eve.. We always choose to open Grandma and Grandpa Marshalls because its usally pajamas!! Thanks for those by the way!

The boys in their pj's!

Sledding in Connecticut

Don and Brady make a jump!

Brady goes off the jump and it didn't feel very good!

Then he goes down the neighbors hill and breaks the sled!

I think he's done!

Cutting Katie's Hair!! Scary!

BEFORE!!

look how long it is!

After a little kicking and screaming, Katie lets Mindi cut it!
Look at all that hair!

Of course we have to highlight, since Brady likes it short AND blonde!

Somewhat AFTER!

Only pictures I could find of the back! Katie's on the left.. I know its hard to tell!

Thanks Mindi!! I love it!
