In addition to finding some cool seashells the boys also got to climb the sand dunes and they got to see 2 dolphins swimming in the ocean out in front of a big ship not too far from the seashore – they were very excited! We also saw a decomposed hermit crab shell and Sam found a random crab leg

We took our 2nd Annual trip to the beach this year on New Year’s Day. We went to our favorite spot – Fort Macon Beach to look for seashells. The weather unlike last year was very mild – mid 60’s and a little breezy. Considering we had 6-8″ of Snow the day after Christmas we would have never guessed that we were going to make the trip today.

Sam is showing us his version of Hallelujah chorus….. Alex is in the background with his best impromptu opera voice.

Alex and Sam Christmas Morning

Here are some photos from Christmas…. Everyone seemed to have a great day and the boys were really tired by bedtime. The boys played on their new Xbox and built legos most of the day. We had breakfast at our house and dinner at Nana’s house, then we watched Toy Story 3 before going home and packing for the Waynesboro trip.

A few more photos

Alex and Sam “hamming” it up in front of the Turkey. Happy Thanksgiving!

Have you ever wondered how hard it may be to get one picture of the three kids sitting together on a sofa and all smiling at the same time?? If so, ask Lis – she took 17 pictures to come up with this one…..probably a good thing the fourth little one was taking a nap. 🙂

It appears a disgruntled Harry Potter is getting ready to perform a spell on Pikachu??
