Carter's Big Boy Bed!

Since Thanksgiving Carter's been sleeping in our guest bedroom because he refused to sleep in his crib (I blame Grandma Linda for spoiling him by sleeping with him while we were in San Diego!). Anyway, we've been waiting for the parts to come in to convert his crib into a double bed...and they've arrived! We paid a bit extra to get Braden a quality crib and dresser set, and now it's paying off! Besides the teeth marks on the now bed foot, the bed looks awesome, and the boys both love it! This might last until college! Pretending they are asleep:

Merry Christmas from Florida

Hmm...has someone been naughty this year?!?

December in Marco

We left Vermont December 20th for sunny Florida to spend Christmas with Gramma and Grandpa Seigfried...besides being an overall awesome Christmas, I have to say the weather was perfect for boating, beach, and pool! Sorry Vermonters, our white Christmas was the white sands of Marco Island!

Snowing in Naples!

We still had our snowy Christmas...in downtown Naples on Thursday, we played in the "snow", bubbly white stuff falling from the street lights!

Santa visited Vermont early this Year!

We were leaving for Florida on Dec 20th, so we made a special request to Santa to come to our house early this year...and he did! Here are a few of the pictures from that fun morning.

158th Fighter Squadron Christmas Party

On Saturday we hosted the Green Mountain Boys' Christmas party for about 80 of the squadron's family and friends...lots of fun!








So Squirrel...always the life a the party!

San Diego Zoo

The whole crew (minus me). Dad and Pat, Mom and Greg, and us Seigfrieds all had a great day at the zoo!


Petting zoo:

Braden's favorite part of the zoo? The bus ride! Smart choice...not only did we get to ride on the top, we got a great view of all the animals at the park!
