Play-Doh and Underpants

We received a huge box of Play-doh from some friends this year as well as a Cookie Monster Play-doh set, and Max will sit at the kitchen table and play for what seems like hours. This is also a fun activity for June, who likes to take the Play-doh containers out of the tub and try to eat little bits from the floor.

Christmas Morning

Christmas is so much more fun with kids. Max was so excited for it this year, and we spent weeks shopping, reading about it and talking about it. He couldn't believe it when we told him it was finally Christmas morning!

Burkle Family Christmas

Eight adults. Seven children. Makes for a hectic family gathering, but we had a great time.

Holiday Card Fail

It is so hard to get a good photo of two young children. Here are several attempts before I gave up and sent a holiday greeting card with separate photos! (It is also really hard to keep the blog up-to-date, too. Sorry, folks.)

Tricks and Treats

Once again, Halloween proved to be much more fun with kids. Max was excited to be a fireman, and June was his little dalmatian. I made Max's outfit out of a gray sweatshirt, orange tape and a bit of felt for the collar. He also had a badge, but it fell off during the school parade. I realize I could have gotten more creative with the under-outfit, but it was a work night. And he didn't care. He had so much fun trick-or-treating with his cousins, and his "candy pick" for the night was a little bag of goldfish crackers, so that worked out well, too.
