'Tis the Season!!

We have had quite a weekend! Friday afternoon, we picked out our Maine pine tree to serve as our Christmas tree, fully set up and decorated in the living room. After letting it warm up overnight, we decorated it on Saturday morning, after some homemade blueberry pancakes (thanks, Brian!!). With Christmas music in the background, all 5 of us added one memorable ornament after another to the tree, until it was brimming with sparkle. The boys loved it, and Mom and Dad enjoyed themselves as well.

After some sustenance, we packed up the car and headed south on 95 to Portland in order to catch the 4pm departure of the Polar Express on it's way to the North Pole. The boys were excited to sit and ride on the train, and especially to be served hot chocolate and cookies. Then to dance down the aisle with "the help", and the finale of course, was an appearance of ole St Nick himself. He greeted each child and shook their hand, or gave them a hug! It was a wonderful ride and a memory that will last a lifetime.

Fall with the Dimitris....BIRTHDAY season!!

Harvest Festival 2011

Paul and Henry's school have an annual Harvest Festival in September, and this year it was on the 17th, from 10am to 2pm. There was a bouncy house, crafts, food, pony rides, and MORE!! The boys had a great time and here are some of the highlights!

Henry asks for 2 butterflies: orange and purple!

Paul wants a red snake and a peace sign.

May Fair and new bikes....

May is an exciting time in Maine....finally the snow is all gone, and the temps start to warm up! This Memorial Day weekend has been gorgeous and we are MORE than excited to get outside and enjoy it.

We bought David is first BIG WHEEL and Daddy assembled it during his nap, so when we woke up it was waiting for him in the living room. He was very excited about it!!
