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!!!!!!!!

My Tinker!

CUTE!!!!!!!!!!

Outings Before Christmas!!!

 Even with the move and the busyness of trying to get settled in with the in-laws we managed to get out and do some fun Christmas stuff with the kids.

December 2012~Magic House Field Trip

 Lily has 2 "best friends" at school-that is Layla and Sydney! She talks about them all the time and they are always together!!!!!!!

 I was so excited that I got to join Lily on this field trip! It was a fun day!  Who doesn't like the Magic House?

Soooo precious? Lily sat on Santa's lap and told him that she wanted "girl legos" for Christmas!

~Lily's Birthday~~

 It is hard to believe that out Tinker is 5! Matt and I bought her a brand new Hello Kitty bike! She was thrilled! She has been riding without training wheels forever so even though it is a bit bigger-she does great! She was a bit sad that we packed it up in the pod but I guess when she sees it in a few months-it will be like brand new again!

HAPPY 5th Birthday Tinker!

Lily invited her 3 friends from school: Genna, Emory and Sydney

 Tinker celebrated her 5th birthday at the Des Peres Lodge! It was awesome! The kids had a blast swimming! There was a wave pool and a really cool slide! Lily got to invite some friends from school which made it even more special! A fun time was had by all! Even little bit got there and dunked her face in the water and splashed around!
