A Very Merry Christmas {2012}

Christmas this year was so fun! Finley and Zane enjoyed celebrating Christmas and was sad when it was over.  We introduced the Elf on the Shelf and had a great time with our new little friend Polly (or Pauly...still not sure of his name!) We stayed in town and celebrated with our family...we are so blessed! 

Santa came!!

Christmas morning!!!

Yummy...Christmas morning breakfast!

Thank you to all those who made this Christmas so special!

Farewell cribs!

We are preparing to say goodbye to the cribs...finally! I was hoping to have it ready for Christmas but we are still waiting for Finley's bed to come in! I took my camera in with me this morning to capture some fond memories! My little babies are growing up...although Zane reminds me that they even though they are growing up they will always be my babies...he tells me "My not getting big, me little."

Finley on the Ice!

Finely ice skated for the first time over Thanksgiving! She was so excited and wanted to keep going around...too bad mommy's arms were about to fall off! When I said we could go around one more time she said "No, many more times"!

Zane decided to just watch! 

 We worked up an apetite after all that ice skating! Time for smores...mmmmmm!

Jumping to Thanksgiving...

We hosted the family once again on Thanksgiving and it was great food, company, and fun! We enjoyed a pretty casual day with a late lunch.  I am so thankful for my family, good health, a happy home, and wonderful friendships.

It was so nice this year that the kiddos were pretty independent! 

Sarah's precious turkey creations!

Of course there was a princess party too! 

Peter Pan and Tinker Bell

Yep, life get pretty busy! So going to jump back to Halloween for a bit because I just gotta post pics of the cutest Tinker Bell and Peter Pan! They were so excited to wear their costumes and I have to say they even played the part well!

It was cute to see them actually understand trick-or-treating.  Zane would run to the next house and immediately following candy being placed in her bucket, Finley would ask "Are we going to the NEXT house?!" And she asked this at every house...so so cute! She still wanted Mommy or Daddy close by.

Yep, Mommy and daddy joined in on the fun! 

Say hello to Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Wendy, and Tinker Bell!

First Campout

Gary has talked about camping out with the kids recently and this weekend was pretty open so if it didn't go well no big deal because we don't have anything planned! Oh, I guess I need to mention that the camping will be done in our own backyard!  The night is not over yet but they were so excited to camp out with daddy and they finally fell asleep.  

After school they got a surprise...sleeping bags, PJs, and slippers.

They wanted to take the outside immediately!

Gary "practiced" with them a little and let them get comfy while I snapped photos fixed dinner.

Just a little bit excited, can you tell?!

Then we ate dinner...outside of course!

Got them ready for bed and bundled them up for the cold front that came through.

Nighty, night! I bet I should have coffee ready for daddy in the AM!

In case you were wondering...I like to camp too, but someone had to stay inside with the pugs!!!!
