Hello World - It's Us...The Riveras

As you can guess, our life has been a little hectic.  The sicknesses did not end with the last post.  In fact, shortly after the last post, Ryan had his 15 month check up and the pediatrician told us he needed to see a specialist for his ear infections.  As you'll see in some upcoming pictures, Ryan had tubes put in his ears on December 17th.  It is just one of the many adventures we dealt with in the last month.  So let's rewind.  We did celebrate Thanksgiving, but didn't get any pictures of it.

Later that weekend, we took Nathan to his first Cornell hockey game at Madison Square Garden.  He LOVED it!!!!  


We couldn't go all Black Friday weekend without making a big purchase.  So here is our new 60" TV. It's amazing.

We took our first holiday visit to Johnson Farms.  Ryan was not digging Santa...at all.  But he did like sitting on the tractor with Nathan.

My boys look so cute in front of our Christmas tree.  



 And they love hugging.  Most of the time, they're fighting...so I had to snap this picture.
We took the boys to Bounce U to see Santa.  I would be crying at this Santa too.

Then Ryan had his surgery.  He did so well.  Doesn't he look cute in his hospital gown?

Nathan's school puts on a holiday show every year.  Nathan was a reindeer.  He sang so nicely.

Nathan left out cookies for Santa and bread for the reindeer.  His teachers told him that reindeer like bread better than carrots.

Ryan really likes making me food in his new kitchen set.
Nathan was excited to get a new battery powered toothbrush.

Ryan loves playing with his "new" toys.



Tonight is New Years Eve.  I hope I have the stamina to stay awake til midnight.  I probably don't though.
