Lloyd

BIRTHDAY COOKIE------------10.00

DS GAME------------------------ 40.00

SEEING YOUR SON GET HIS FIRST FISH----------PRICELESS!

Aidan has been asking for a while now if he could have a pet. Well, I said no to dogs, hamsters, etc. Then he mentioned he would like a fish. WELL...a fish-now you are speaking my language! It was the perfect time because his birthday was approaching. Nana and Pop want to help decorate his new room (as well as the girls too) when he gets it but still wanted him to have something to open! SO-POP decided that it was time for Aidan to get a Beta fish! He did a lot of research for this fish and decided that the Beta was the best one for Aidan! Well, the joy and excitement that came across his face was priceless when he opened his present! After thinking of names for a few minutes-Aidan knew that this fish should be named after his favorite Ninja Lloyd from Ninjago! Now, Lloyd is the topic of many conversation in our house. Anabelle says, I love Lloyd! Everyone like to feed him! Aidan is doing a great job taking care of him and loves having him in his "room" at Grandma's house!

~Bowling~

Matt's family put together a bowling outing a few Saturday's ago. Anabelle was so funny-the ball weighed as much as her practically but she insisted on carrying it herself! It was hysterical The big kids had a blast and it was nice to get out and do something different. The kids are already asking when they can go again.

Park

We drive by this tank every day and everyday the kids ask what it is and if they can go see it. So, Matt and I took them to see the big army tank! They got a kick out of how big it was and enjoyed climbing all over it even in the cold weather!

Christmas 2012

This is what I will always remember about this Christmas....
1. Aidan got a 3DS! Aidan has wanted a DS since he was four. He was so excited when he opened it! It was definitely his favorite present from Santa.
2. Lily got some girl legos and "a baby that pees". Yes, it is a baby that goes #1 and #2 when you feed it.
3. Anabelle did not want to wake up Christmas morning and she did not want to open her presents when the other kids did. (She did not open her presents until 10 am on Christmas day!) HOWEVER, once she started opening she didn't want to stop! She LOVED the act of opening presents!
4. This is the first year I did not do Christmas cards or get a picture of all 3 kids together in their Christmas outfits! And they LOOKED so cute!!!!!!!! (I am still so sad-debating on if I should just put them in their outfits and snap a picture!)
5. We were homeless this Christmas! But we still had a good one!!!! :)

Tinker's Christmas Program

This was a great weekend! My parents came up and we all stayed in a hotel (since we sold our house) for Tinker's Christmas program! She looked adorable and a fun time was had by all! Lily and Anabelle had matching dresses for Christmas and Aidan had a matching sweater----SO CUTE!!!!!!!!
