Christmas Fun!

We had a great Christmas! The kids had tons of fun and Jon and I enjoyed a nice 3 day break with no kiddos!

Park fun-

 Napping with Freda in the bed fun-

 Convertible riding fun-

Christmas tree fun (I have NEVER been happier to take down a tree than this year! Noah wore me out with the spreading the ornaments everywhere and almost tipping it over)-

 Doggie and helmet fun-

Tinkerbell fun (Annalise LOVES Tinkerbell and ripped her clothes and panties off on Christmas morning when she opened this outfit to put it on immediately)-

Plasma Car fun (Thank you Grammy!!!)-

 Rollerskating fun-

"Ho Ho Ho Tinta Claus"

"Ho Ho Ho Tinta Claus" is what Noah says whenever he sees Santa. It is SO cute. We took the kids to see Santa today. Noah was unsure but brave. He kept staring at him like he was thinking "Why are you holding me and what is that hair on your face?"

Annalise was VERY excited to visit Santa. She asked for roller skates. Before we got there she wanted to know if she could hug him, if he would be fluffy, and if he would get fuzz on her. She seemed very satisfied with her visit but was also mystified by the beard.

This picture is terrible because it is a phone picture of a real picture, but you get the idea.

Here are some past Santa memories-

Ages 5+ (!?!)

I just got Noah a helmet to go with some of his Christmas presents. Annalise's helmet is a 3+ size and it is so giant on her little head. I got Noah a 3+ and it wouldn't even fit on his head at all. So, here he is in a size 5+ that barely fits down on his huge head!

"Messies!"

Anytime we pass piles of leaves that have fallen off of trees Noah calls them "Messies." He wants to play in the messies, throw the messies, stomp his feet in the messies, and especially jump and do seat drops in the messies.

These are pics from my phone so they aren't the best but it sure was fun! Noah's mouth is open in all of the pictures because anytime he is concentrating, he sticks his tongue out.

Flashlight Fun!

SEA WORLD!

The day before we left for our Thanksgiving break, we took the kids to Sea World with a bunch of other families from The Stone. I was DREADING it. I knew it would be fun once we got there, but getting excited about a potentially super crowded (and expensive) place like that is so hard for me! However, we couldn't have been happier that we went. It was SO fun for us and the kids. They loved the shows and the aquarium. Hopefully next year they will be big enough for some of the kiddie rides.

 In this picture below, both the kids are sobbing because of the dolphins. They thought it was TERRIFYING when they came up out of the water to eat the fish you could feed them. Needless to say, no dolphins were pet by my kids.

Silly Kids!

Fire Station!

Annalise and I got to visit the fire station with some friends last week, all the kids had tons of fun!
