Day 365

The last day of the year!!!!! Woohoo, I made it : ) I guess I am going to contiune this blog for another year....I like being able to go back and see a little bit of every day and how much my babies have grown!

Today we hung out here at home and Nana and Grandpa came over to play!

Ella sang on her new microphone that she got from Nana for Christmas!

Properly aligned eyes...makes me happy!

Watching the New Year's Eve count down and the kids dancing to Gangham Style, I'm so proud?????  It is pretty funny to watch.  Hunter WILL dance with Ella but only if it's only me in the room, won't even dance in front of Dad. 

Hunter set an alarm on his IPod to count down to midnight this afternoon.  Here it is 2 minutes and 55 seconds till midnight.

Happy New Year!!!!

Day 364

After packing up our Christmas decorations today we headed over to our friends the Kibbe's for dinner and playtime : )

Hunter and Rex had a good time together as always!

These two.....I'll spare you the details....lets just say they are hilarious together and so much trouble : )  Here they are playing Playdoh...which you will notice on the floor. Mary is much braver than me!

Riley told me to take his picture!

Then Ella wanted in on one too!

Day 363

We went to a friend's wedding today. The kids were very good and Ella danced her little heart out! It was so cute!

Day 362

We went bowling today with Nana and Grandpa and had a great time! We ended up bowling 4 games because Chris and my mom compete against eachother. At the end of the night they had each beat the other 2 times. LOL.

Hunter bowled his little heart out.  He ended up bowling the last couple of games for Ella.

Ella really had fun the first game....and then she is done.  She came back the last game and bowled a frame here and there.

Day 361

We had a fun day shopping and playing with our Christmas gifts. I'm pretty sure Ella played with almost everything at least for a couple of seconds, lol. Tonight we tested out the Easy Bake Oven and Ella made cupcakes.

Mixing the frosting as the cupcakes baked

She was SOOOOOOOOOOO proud of herself.  When she finished she started yelling "BOYS COME EAT MY CUPCAKES I MADE!!!!"   It was cute!

Hunter spent his evening plugged in to his Ipad and playing Legos!!!!  I have a feeling he will never again hear anything I say to him, lol.
