Merry Christmas from the Vandiver's

Hunter - 6, Cole - 4 and Ethan 2 1/2 months


The boys had their musical at church last night.
Hunter was Joseph and Cole was a sheperd. They
both did a very good job and were very cute. They
did take their shoes off before they went on stage.
I doubt it Joseph wore Spiderman shoes that lit up,
I could be wrong though!

Breakfast with Mr. & Mrs. Clause

Seeing Mr. & Mrs. Clause coming through the door.
A little meet and greet.
On Dec. 8th, we went to Cole's preschool to have
breakfast with the Mr. & Mrs. Clause. Hunter and
Cole were so excited to see them. Ethan slept for
most of it and was woken up for the picture. We had
pancakes with sausage and bacon. The boys are to
smart though because as we were leaving they kept
looking around. We asked them what they were looking
for and they said Santa's sleigh and reindeer. How did he
get here if he didn't bring them? We told that he took a
plane and a cab dropped them off so they wouldn't get
mobbed by other kids wanting to see them. I don't think
they bought it though.

Cole's 4th Bithday


"Dash" helping Cole blow out his candles!


Cole had a very good birthday. He got more Planet
Heroes, Thomas the Train and a Spiderman fishing
pole that he wanted Daddy and Papaw to open so that
they could go fishing that very night!

Ethan the Red Nosed Reindeer



This was an outfit that I had with all the boys but
Ethan has been the only one big enough to wear it.
Doesn't he look so cute and he will love me when he
gets older and I pull these out to show future girlfriends.

Ethan at 2 months old


These are a little old, but they were taken at
2 months. He is getting to be a chunk! At that
time he weighed 13 lbs. 10oz. and was 25 inches
long. He was starting to roll over from his tummy
to his back when he got really mad. He was also
starting to follow your voice.

Some of Hunter's "girlfriends" at school.
They had a special Thanksgiving lunch at Hunter's
school were they dressed up as Pilgrams and Indians.
As you can see, Hunter was an Indian. They were all
really cute and had a good time.

Ethan trying out his brother's chair while they were away.
Gettin' some lovin' from Meme.
Getting cereal for the first time on Nov. 11th. We were
hoping it would help him sleep longer through the night.
It didn't work and he ended up waking up every three
hours to eat instead of his usually four. Needless to say,
we have stopped giving him cereal and will try again when
he is a little older.


Ethan and Gradie meeting for the first time. Gradie is
Jeremy and Sam's little miracle baby girl (Jennifer's brother
and sister-in-law). As you can see, Gradie didn't know what
to think about this crying baby in front of her.

Halloween 2007

My cowboy, Spiderman and one very unhappy pumpkin!

Luke stayed with the family for a couple of days
while John and Christy were checking out the seminary
in Wake Forest. We went to the harvest fest at church
the night before Haloween for candy and games.

Hunter and Cole posing in their costumes.

Big Brothers

Occasionally Ethan will get a bottle of expressed
milk. On this day, Cole wanted to help and feed
it to him. He did a great job until Ethan started
to spit up a little and than he was done.

Hunter calming Ethan down by laying with him.


Hunter's 6th Birthday





Having some cake and opening presents!
Hunter said that he had a great birthday
and Cole thought so as well since he gets to
play with all the toys too!

Chuck E Cheese Party



We went to Chuck E Cheese's for Hunter's "party".
The boys always have a great time when we go.
