A visit with our Grandparents

Papa Nick and Grandma came to visit after Christmas
 We had fun playing games
 
 Grandma trying her hand at an old fashioned game at Conner Prairie
 
 
Papa Nick taking on the girls in a few games
 
 
 Checking out amazing Gingerbread Houses
 
 Learning about winter survival skills
 And some playtime on the playground
 Who likes it when these two come to visit?
 WE DO!!!!

Christmas at Sheri's

The girls got totally spoiled by their family
 
 
 
 The pink guitars were one of the gifts and they soon created a band with Katelyn and Elena called Sister Sisters!

Christmas Morning

Excited to go downstairs and see what Santa left
 Everything was so exciting!
 Dumping out the loot
 Loved their new books
 It was so cute to watch them open things together
 And the best part was they were very grateful for everything!


Christmas Eve

Spent the night at church and then hosted Scott's family at our house
Sprinkling reindeer food and leaving apples and carrots
 
 Santa arrived sometime during the night and left some footprints by the fireplace, ate the cookies we left and Rudolph left a red nose print on our door


A Day At The Museum



Jolly Days at the Children's Museum
 Had fun in the new Playscape
 Claire checking out the wind tunnel
 Trying our hand at Pointalism
 
 Little Scientist in the lab
 
 Experimenting with Dad
 
 
Gotta take a ride on the Carousel


A visit to Santa

We braved the bold in our jammies to visit Santa one evening
 We ran into Rudolph
 And got to drive his sleigh
 
 Then shared our lists with the Big Guy
 He told us to be nice to each other ... he really must have been watching!

Build a Bear

Finally filled up our behavior charts and earned a trip to Build a Bear
 Emily - Introducing Snowflake the Bunny
 We got to put in special traits to help create their personality
Claire - Introducing Clara the Reindeer


 

Christmas Play Group

We had a blast at the Maine's Christmas Friends Party!
 We did crafts
Decorated ice cream cone Christmas Trees
 Exchanged Books
  What a fun bunch - it has turned into such a big group and some were even missing!
