Things are a changing! Instead of playing in the sand box or with trains or stuffed animals … we are now moving to video games during our playdates.

Max, Brennan & Christian are playing some Wii race car game

They were quite active & vocal while playing

Emily wants to give it a go

Christian was teaching his friends and stomping the competition

Max was putting his full body into the game!

Liam, Brennan’s gorgeous younger brother, just watching the crazies play

Max intently playing the Wii race car game with chocolate chip cookie on his face

Christian, the happy winner of every single Wii race car game

Brennan, preferring to be a spectator, excitedly telling Max which way to turn his car

Olivia, Christian’s cute younger sister, would occasionally walk into the room and give Christian a hug as he was playing the Wii game

Patches comes back for more harassment at the Colyer household! :-)

Max insists that Patches needs some grass. She is a grass lover for sure!

Max introduces Patches to his new McDonald’s toy (“Jewel” the girl bird)

Good Friends (in Max’s mind) :-)

Emily & Patches. Emily is thrilled about Patches return.

Jacob moved back to Australia two years ago (January 2009) and Izzy moved to Minnesota in April 2009. Here are a few candid shots of the kiddos prior to the photo session.

Jacob & Max reunited after two years apart. It was as if they had been apart for two days. It was a wonderful, special reunion. Looking forward to their return in January!!

Santa Claus & his elf helper comes to Ohlone last night to visit Max, Christian, Julia, Jacob, Emily & Olivia

Emily tells Santa Claus what she wants for Christmas … lipstick and a ring

Emily happily sat on Santa’s lap

Max tells Santa that he wants a marble track for Christmas

Emily & Julia enjoy a little Santa lap time!

However, Olivia didn’t warm up to the Big Man so much! :-)
