Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas! We spent the last 2 days with family and friends and enjoyed a lot of visits. The kids have been so excited for Santa to come. Last night we got a surprise visit from Oma. We knew she was coming for Christmas but she came early ans spent the night. Santa left presents for the kids at Grandma and Papa's house this year. I guess he knew Papa has been sick and couldn't get up and out of the house too early so we all went there to open presents. Then we came back home and opened the rest of our presents here. We then had a wonderful meal cooked by none other than .. me!! It was yummy but I had a lot of help! What a wonderful day to be with family and see my kids have a good time!

Mikey Turns 2

Mikey finally turned 2 last week. I can't believe how fast time flies. It seems like yesterday that I was holding this little newborn in my arms and now he's a madman. We had an Elmo party at home with family and he had a great time! I even made Elmo cupcakes for him. We love our Mikey boy very much!

Chrtistmas Baking!!

Well I'm running a little behind but I need to catch up so... a couple of weeks ago we decided to do some Christmas baking. I remember growing up we always made cookies with my mom. I wanted to start this fun tradition with my kids. I figured things might be a little hectic in the kitchen so we invited grandma to help. The kids had a lot of fun, all 4 of them!

Pics At The Park!

Well a couple of months ago I got the brilliant idea that I wanted to take the kids to the park to take pictures. Picture People is cute but way expensive and a lot of work because my kids are not good posers! With all that's been going on the pictures kind of got pushed to the side. Finally, this last Saturday we made time to do it. It was cold outside. 49 to be exact. I didn't want pictures of the kids in big jackets so I strategically dressed them in thermals and long sleeves thinking they would stay warm. Not the case. We got a few pictures, not sure if any of them are framing quality but hey are cute! After about 10 minutes Ezra was crying because his fingers were cold and they hurt. Mikey's nose was ice cold and Brooklyn's face was all red. We put them in the car with the heater on full blast and by the time we got to the pizza park they were warm! The bad part is I'm not really sure if we got any usable pictures. Sigh.........
