Tis' the season (part2)




We also had the kids playgroup over to decorate cookies. More cookies were eaten than decorated:)

The following day Sean and I took a trip to Chicago...our last getaway before our 3rd miracle arrives. It was Sean's first time there and he loved it. (For those who know Sean...he hates big cities.) We did a ton of shopping, walking and eating. The last night there we went to the Bulls v. Knicks NBA game. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed the simple things in life...eating an entire meal w/out kids yelling:) Our mothers were nice enough to take the kids for us...thank you moms.

Hailey ended her first semester of school with a christmas program celebrating Jesus' birthday. She a little part and suprisingly enough she said it...way to go Hailey. The are so grown up from last year. It has been a true blessing all that Hailey has learned at school. She likes the idea of Santa but knows the true meaning of Christmas.

Tis' the season...




December has been a busy but funfilled month. It began with a trip to Kearney to see Disney on Ice. The kids loved seeing all of their favorite characters. The show was 2 hours long and the kids sat thru the entire thing:) We hope to take them back again next year. I think Sean even enjoyed it just a little!!

Our Meeting with Santa...did he listen?



My mom and I took the kids to see Santa in Lincoln the day after Thanksgiving. Hailey has been scared ever since she was 6mos old...4 years later she was able to sit on his lap and not be scared. I bet she was glad now, looking back...Santa brought her a Barbie jeep that she's been asking for:)

Austin on the other hand was unsure of who this big guy was...he sat next to him but not on his lap. Oh well maybe next year.
