Christmas

Merry Christmas Everyone! We had a great Christmas and really enjoyed staying home this year. The kids loved waking up and seeing what Santa had brought them.

Isaac's highlights: train that Papa made, Little Peoples farm, a truck, basketball hoop just his size, legos, books, and many more...

Ava's highlights: LeapPad from Mommy & Daddy, lego table built by Papa, My Little Pony car, Littlest Pet Shop toys, books, movies, art supplies, cookie making kit, games, and many more...

Mommy and Daddy's highlights: crock-pot and dust buster (and yes, I actually asked for these!), cologne, Kindle cover, Kindle Fire, and Orlando Science Center Annual Pass!

Ava with her LeapPad...she has been busy learning all the new games!

Since we got tickets to the science center, we thought we would try it out right away. The kids LOVED it today and they can't wait to go back. Here they are digging for dinosaur fossils.

Still digging...

Isaac playing in the water...learning about dams and how water flows.

Ava finishing up playing in the water. Luckily, they have these aprons kids can wear so they don't get soaked! I think I need some of these at home!!!

Isaac was fascinated with this Nemo balloon that was controlled by a remote. A man was flying it around and he kept following it trying to figure out how it was moving. He is such a boy! :)

They even had a little toy kitchen area! They loved this too!

Ava's School Christmas Program

Ava had her preschool Christmas program at school. She was adorable and sang beautifully. We have videos but they are on you tube. Let me know if you would like to see them and I can send you the link. :)

Ava and her crazy teachers that we love! Mrs. Kimberly (on the left) just quit to work for her family business but Mrs. Lori (on the right) will still be Ava's teacher. :)

Ava and Isaac all ready for the program!

Look at this outfit! The teachers had the skirts made for the girls (only 2 girls in the entire class!!!) and they made shirts for them as well.

Pre-Christmas

Here are a bunch of pictures that we took in the month of December. We set out cookies and chocolate milk for Santa.

Daddy and Ava all excited for Santa to come

Ava and her friend Bre...we went to see Charlie Brown Christmas movie in the park

We had a wonderful visit from Curt's cousin Missy and her family. Timmy, Bekah, Isaac and Caleb had a great time with Ava and Isaac. It was great to see them!

My trip to Virginia

Right after we got back from Wisconsin, I flew to Roanoke, Virginia to see my best friend Lydia and her family. We had such a great time. Last time I saw Graham, he was only a few weeks old and now he is crawling all over the place and such a sweet little boy. Thanks for letting me come Lyd! I love you!

The group of us when we went downtown to see Christmas lights and a million (a little exaggeration) decorated trees. :)

Thanksgiving Visit to WI

We took a trip to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. Sorry for the lack of pictures the last few months. We haven't done a whole this fall so there weren't too many pictures to share. Here are the pictures from our trip. We had a blast and it was so good to see most of Curt's family. The kids had a lot of fun but we were all a little disappointed that they didn't have snow! :( But it was nice not to be freezing too.
