Happy New Year!

I know I am super behind on the thrilling life and events of the Tams family, but it seems the more I try to get caught up the further behind I become.  In the meantime I am missing out on current everyday moments.  I am hoping I can work from both sides and meet in the middle somewhere, so grandmas and grandpas be sure to check in from March 2013 forward every now and then.

For today, just some funny things the kids said that I wanted to record.

At dinnertime:

Ryan: You don't need hair or underwear to survive.

Kevin: Well, you may not need hair, but you definitely need underwear.

Ryan: You need underwear?

Kevin: Yes.

Ryan: Because you might die of embarrassment?

Kevin: Exactly!

We have spent a lot of the Christmas break playing football on the Wii.  The boys have had a blast playing tournaments against their Dad.  Andrew is a little too young for it, but recently he has started insisting that he be included in the club.  This was our conversation right before bed:

Andrew: Momma - tomorrow I going to play Wii booball wif Dad.  

Mom: You are?  That sounds like fun.

Andrew: Yeah.  And I will be da 49ers and Dad will be da Colts.

I have to admit that I was only a little surprised by his declaration.  My little baby wants to be a big boy so fast and tries to do everything his brothers do.  It makes me a little sad, but it's also fun to see him so excited about growing up.

And to finish up the evening, we FINALLY made gingerbread cookies today.  The kids were very excited to decorate and eat theirs before going to bed.  Happy New Year!
