18 Month Check-up and Nursery

Audrey turned 18 months on the 27th. She is officially in the nursery at church now! Hopefully she'll want to stay and play every Sunday... Today Audrey had her 18 month check up. She's a healthy girl! She weighs 25 lb 7 oz (75 %) and is 33 1/2 inches tall (95 %)... Oh, and she's getting her 13th tooth!

Christmas 2012

The boys really had a nice time the last week of school before Christmas. So glad I could participate in Xander's party!
Image
 
The kids made Mom and Dad breakfast on Christmas Eve morning...
Image

We celebrated Christ's birth... Jaren played the shepards and wisemen, Ellie was Mary, Xander was Joseph, and Audrey was the Angel.

New Christmas Eve pajamas!

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
Image

Jaren was SO excited... he got up at 1:45 am and came in every 20 minutes or so to check the clock. We finally let them come down at 6:30 am!

Mom and Dad had the flu on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day... so we are postponing our Christmas dinner for a few days!


Xander is Tuckered Out!

Children's Holiday Party

Today we went to Ethan's work for a Children's Holiday Party. The kids had a blast! Some of the highlights were the Christmas cards we decorated for children in the hospital, face painting, caricature drawing of themselves, a photo booth, balloon animals, decorating a cookie, SANTA, popcorn, and cotton candy. There were actually other fun things to do... we just ran out of time. The kids each got a goodie bag to take home which included snacks, Christmas song books, and $10 Target gift cards! They were pretty excited!
