Happy New Year!

We spent the New Year’s Holiday with our dear friends the Niemeyers (Tonya Farmer’s family, for those who have known her since childhood!).  We traveled to Minster (site of the infamous annual Oktoberfest) on New Year’s Eve and snuck in a lovely dinner at La Piazza in New Bremen.  Then we had a great time at Tonya and Bryan’s.  The kids (I could say “the boys” but Tonya had to go and have a girl- Alyssa Faye- so I have to say “the kids”) had a great time in the hot tub and were crazy enough to make snow angels with their steamy little bodies! 

Then on New Year’s Day, we went to the American Legion Hall to watch The Ohio State Buckeyes game.  of course, everyone was in their scarlett and gray and cheering on the Buckeyes!  You can’t see it, but even Alex had his “Poop on Michigan” onesie from the Nelsons!

Even James helped make the buckeyes!

The Kubaney Boys had lots of spirit!

Happy, healthy 2010 to all of my dear friends and family.  Along with my usual eat-better-exercise-more-keep-in-touch-better-and-generally-be-a-better-person resolutions, I am really going to try to update this blog weekly!  Get ready for lots of basketball shots, since the season has started for 3 of the 4 kubaney boys (Alex is not quite ready yet for basketball)…

Stop by anytime! We’d love to see you in 2010!  Can’t promise the house will be clean, but we can promise we’ll always be happy to see you!

The Holidays were good to us…

We had a wonderful Christmas this year!  As you can tell by the interval between posts, it has been quite busy here!

We forgot how sweet it is to have a new baby for the Holidays :-)!  It really felt like Alex was “official” when we hung his stocking on the mantle!  He made the Holidays all the happier with his sweet personality and easy smile.

Happy baby in his exersaucer!

Alex’s 1st visit with Santa.  Can you guess what he asked for???? Alex loves to be read to!

Daddy loves his Baby Boy!

The Big Boys got a ZIP LINE from Santa!  Stop over this summer and take a ride on it!  FUN!

The Texan Remingtons are missing from these Holiday photos :-(.  They spent their 1st Christmas with Baby Reid in his native homeland.  He certainly would not have been able to appreciate the snow at the age of 9 months, but hopefully he’ll be here for Christmas next year and we’ll take him sledding!

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!
