Enter the World of Farina...dun, dun, dun: January 2009

About 2 weeks ago we had just finished eating dinner and Bradley went and laid down on the couch. Landon got out of his high chair a few minutes later and walked over to where Brad was. Then Landon says to me, while pointing at Bradley (who had fallen asleep), "Mom, look uh Bradley. He s'eepin'..." Then in a sweet high pitched voice he says, "So coot (cute)." If that wasn't cute enough, then he climbs up next to him right in his face, and stares at Brad with his big blue eyes. He starts rubbing Brad's cheeks very soft and keeps whispering, "Bradley s'eepin'....so cute." It was SO STINKIN' PRECIOUS!!! You know I had to bust out my camera to catch the moment.

Then he started hugging and kissing Brad.

Then he kept scooting closer and closer until he was practically on top of him.

Finally I had to remove him because he was trying to sit on top of him! This was definitely one of the cutest things ever! I showed Brad the pictures the next day and we got a good laugh out of it. These boys may fight, but at the end of the day they are each other's best buddy.

It has taken me so long to finally post pictures of Christmas. I promise I won't write too much, but be prepared for lots of pictures.

The ornament Bradley made for us. These are my favorite!

The grandkids (minus Scotty's cuteness) after Christmas Eve dinner at Dustin and Leah's. It was so yummy. Props to Leah for the delicious meal! Then we head over to my mom's to open presents.

The kids assist Grandpa in the huge task of passing out all the presents.

Landon and Scott having a pretty serious discussion.

Dustin and Leah (who celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary on New Year's Day, HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY!!!)

Typical Tyler picture. Gotta love him. We all show love in different ways.

Riley eager to open her stuff.

I just told him to smile and this is what I got. What can I say, he's a man of many faces.

Another man of many faces. Brad loves Star Wars. (Notice our big, crackling fire in the background?? We were so warm and cozy! haha)

Grandma and Grandpa Great got Bradley a Yankee jersey for his Build A Bears. He has been wanting this for awhile, so he was so excited!

Does this lovely decorative hat look familiar to anyone?? It was a White Elephant gift at the Cousins Christmas Party and (due to its popularity) it reappeared on Christmas. My dad scored this beautiful work of art from Dustin and Leah. So funny!

My dad was nice enough to pass it around for everyone to try on.

Bradley loves Bakugans. I have no idea what you do with them, but he was so glad to get them.

Christina was Frankie's secret santa this year. She took these pictures at Yankee Stadium when they went in October and framed them for him. The pictures are SO cool. I think Frankie had "something in his eye" when he opened this. He really loves it.

Santa was clearly happy with the Pepsi we left out for him and left lots of loot for the boys!

Nothin' wrong with a little chocolate for breakfast on Christmas, right?? Landon's eating some candy that Santa left in his stocking, among the Christmas morning mess.

Bradley was SO excited to get his iPod shuffle from Santa! I love when he's singing along with it and I can hear what he thinks they are saying in the songs!
