Happy 2011. It’s funny trying to explain the New Year’s celebration to the kids because it’s such a non-event for us. Go to bed, wake up and it’s a new year. What does that look like? Well…. different calendar… and that’s about it. Whee!
This year we celebrated New Year’s day with a trip to visit the Johnson family. Or you can call it a second Christmas, as there was lovely tree, a delicious dinner, and presents.
Lex's big present was a Thomas the Train track set. He was pretty excited.
Eve got a little pet shop mall toy thing. I've never heard of it before, but she loves it!
Lex is definitely a directions kind of guy :)
Hard at work
Everyone enjoyed the train set.

This is from this morning when Lex and Eve were playing hangman together. She doesn't fully get the game yet and he got frustrated that she couldn't guess the puzzle. I stepped in to help. I love his sweet messages.
Speaking of the kidcam, here are a few more pictures from them…
Lex discovered the fancy photo editing features. He was very proud of himself.

Eve wanted to take an "us" picture. I helped a bit with the stabilizing :)
Eve. I took this one. Shh....
Even the kids wanted to be sure to document this fun train set.

The kids loved their Christmas tree and made sure to take pictures of it before we left.
We set the train tracks up in the office this morning and Lex said, “Oh, this must be a New Year’s present. How fun!” :)
