Relaxing with Dad..

Finally...a little smile! :)

Yesterday was Wacky Wednesday at school. That also means you pose like a creeper.

The high today was 16. Tuesday we had a picnic lunch at the park! Needless to say we stayed inside today!

Set-up the entire train track and they made both Thomas' go in a circle around 1.

Kennedy, "stop looking at the camera, Carter." Thus ending the wonderful sibling time! :)

He loves his trains! Thanks Porter for the new set!!! That is what he bought with his gift card for Christmas from my Brother, Brian, and his family!

"Why are you taking my picture"

Too cute? Maybe...just maybe...

As you can see I made a few updates to the blog. New Year, New Look! I really don't have anything to update you on, but Carter said something funny so I thought I would share.

I cut my thumb and I have a bandaid on it. He hates bandaids.

Mom: "Oh you are so cute, I could just eat you you up!!!"
Carter: "I think I can eat you like a samwich(sandwich)....except your fumb(thumb)." With a totally disgusted look on his face!!!

Gotta love the honesty!

Happy New Year!!!!

As you can imagine, we didn't have the wild party we are use to on New Year's Eve. :) We watched a movie, got pizza and toasted to a new year. This year more than usual we realized that New Year's Eve doeesn't have to be about sparkly outfits and champagne (although I do love that!), but about being with the ones you love most! Hope this finds you with your loved ones and here's to a happy and healthy 2012!!!

Having "fancy" drinks of gingergale to toast! :)

So happy about the fancy drinks!

Yes. I made the hats and yes, they are dorky...I know.

It started snowing at about 7:30. We went on the deck and Tony captured us throwing our glitter in honor of New Years!

Happy New Year!!!

Ice Skating!!

Friday we went and got ice skates. Everyone got them! Kennedy and Carter were so excited and I have to admit, I was a little giddy myself!

There are our skates...

Tony getting his skates ready.

All of our stuff ready by the basement door, to walk out and skate!!

We had to bring a chair out to the lake so we could put our skates on!

We got the orange "walker" to help with balance. Kennedy had a little trouble a first, but by the end of the day she was skating on her own. Carter could use the walker and let go of it. He was hesitant at first, but then could stand up by himself. He was so excited!!!!

Tony was following Kennedy ice skating. Hope it doens't make you motion sick!!

Tony showing his "skills"!

Billy (our elf on a shelf) brought a late present to the kids since we weren't in MN for Christmas. This is what they got....

Merry Christmas, Round 3!!

After spending four days in Hiawatha, we came home on the 16th and promptly opened our presents. The kids got Tony and I ornaments they had made at school so here they are putting them on the tree.

Here is Kennedy's ornament! She was all dressed in her winter clothes and she is sledding!! click on the picture and you can see how stinking happy she is!!!!

Carter's ornament had snowmen all over it that he had made with his finerprints. Too cute!!! He kept telling us that he did with paint all over his hands! :)

New shirt...

Daddy helping Carter open his construction set.

A shirt covered in tractors. What a cheeseball!!!

Nona and Papa got Kennedy am American Girl doll. Tony and I got them matching PJs.

Taking a little rest from opening presents.

Tony got an leather ipad holder...posing with his best girl!!!

Carter and his construction set. All of the pieces are wooden and very sturdy. It has a car transporter, a cement truck, a dump truck and a digger. There are little people with hard hats too! It comes in this really nice wooden box that Carter can carry. How long until we lose a piece?
