Chuckie Cheese

I can't even explain the joy on these kids faces at Chuckie Cheese today.  They had sooo much fun!!  Napela was stoked over just getting one ticket.  He would run and say look mom I got a ticket.  Twice, he was sooo excited over the one ticket he ended up leaving a game that was  giving him 20.  Lucky we were able to catch it.   It was such a fun day as a family!

Uncle Zach, Auntie Megan and Andi in town

My brother Zach and his family came into town.  Their daughter Andi is 18 months, so Ileana had a new friend.  They were real cute together.

A pool of leaves.  The kids had so much fun.

 Ileana trying to get on Uncle's back, but there was no room, so she climbed on top of Andi too :)

 Andi, sooo sweet and cute!!  

 The girls taking turns pushing eachother on the bike.

 Ileana climbed up next to Andi on the couch.  It was so cute to see them all snuggled next to eachother.

 Uncle to herself!!  Go horsey!

 At night we lit sparklers with the kids, big and small:)

 Happy Kids!!

Christmas Cookies

We made sugar cookies the other night together.  The kids had fun, and enjoyed their sweets.

 One of their sweet creations, and yes that is a bite taken out of it :)

 Ani had pajama day at school.  Can you say he was a little excited.

 Mychaila was super excited for her Christmas party too.

 These are some pics from christmas tree shopping.  Everyone had to pick a tree.

 I think this was our final tree.

 Napela putting up ornaments.



Her Favorite Spot

My computer is jacked up!  These are the only pics that would load, but anyway.....We put up are tree and decorated it.  The kids had a blast....pics to come....but Ileana found a spot of her own.  All of her ornaments went to that one spot.  it was soooo funny.  It was a lot of fun watching her get involved this year.

 Can you find the branch that she likes the most.  hint:  it is sagging from the weight ;)
