Winter 2008

We have had a busy month. Sorry for the delay in updating our blog. We are so thankful for everything the boys have given us....
The boys and I decorated cookies and fun- well they really only decorated a couple and left mommy with the rest.
Carter was more interested in eating sprinkles than anything else.


Max just wanted to eat frosting!

We went to the mall with Allison and Reagan to see Santa. This is us after we saw the big guy- running off some energy at the play area.



Max had a complete meltdown right before he sat on Santa's lap. Crying and screaming- he just doesn't like people in costume. Neither one really do, but Carter didn't cry this year. As soon as Max climbed on Santa's lap though, Santa asked him what he wanted for Xmas and then Max stopped crying. It was great! The first year neither one was crying for the pic!


Max is really nervous in this pic. Carter jumped right up. He told Santa he wanted a squinny for Xmas. That's right, a squinny. Not sure where he came up with this. Max asked for a big Diego. We have taken the boys to the same Santa every year. Doesn't he look like a great Santa?

Writing our letter (postcard) to Santa.

Playing in the snow with mommy. Dad is not much of a snow guy, so mommy hung outside and built a couple of snowmen and went sledding. All things pappa did with mommy when she was little. Look at those smiles! We had lots of giggles playing outside!


Mommy trying to get the perfect pic of the boys and I. Look at that great laugh of Carters!


Check out one of our snowmen. The boys say goodbye to them each morning before we go to school.


My favorite pic of the boys. It was snowing outside when I took this pic. Look at how excited they are to play! Max was trying to eat the snow right before this pic!


Carter drew his first pic that was recognizable on the white board. A snowman!


They boys went to grammy's to decorate cookies. They only had the patience for a couple before just wanting to go play downstairs. Grammy bought them these aprons. They actually have matching chef's hats, but didn't want to wear them.

The Martin/Zahn/Marcel family pic at Thanksgiving

The boys made Mickey Mouse ears at school. Some moments they love each other, some moments they are ready to rip each other's heads off! Brotherly love!

Mommy and her boys- just playing around!


Daddy and his boys just playing around!

At the Bucs ice arena- our first hockey game! It was fun, but very loud!

Nicole; Know what you mean about Carter's laugh and smile. He can lift my spirits with that smile. What a difference a year makes -- Max is all smiles in all pictures. Great to see! You all looked like you were having such fun. Grammie looked terrific! Love you all! Grandma Sharon
