Merry Christmas Marathon!

We had quite the Chrisymas celebration this year- 5 fun-filled days of eating, being with family & friends, eating, opening presents, eating, and- oh, did I mention eating?!?!

Kaleb was spoiled by all....train set, dancing Mickey, trampoline (kid-size), basketball hoop, fleece tie blanket, lots of cute clothes, & the list goes on!! What a lucky boy :)

When we got home from our Christmas marathon, Joe & Kaleb hit to come to the doctor with me. Our newest addition is doing wonderful & Kaleb hasn't stopped talking about "hearing " his little brother :) It's so sweet!!

Enjoy some pictures of our wonderful Christmas!!

The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

We are having a ball this Christmas season with Kaleb! All he talks about is the lights on the houses and Santa (thanks to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse)!

A few weekends ago we wrapped up a "Christmas" box for my nephew, niece, and Kaleb open it for a night of fun! There were Christmas Jammie's, holiday socks, a snack, and the movie Prancer. The kids loved it & it was so fun watching them!!

Last week we headed to Superior's Family Resource Center & participated in all sorts of fun winter activities. Kaleb made a Rudolph hat & glued marshmallows together to make Frosty :) He had fun-- but he mostly wanted to join the "big boys" who we're practicing "baseball" (aka basketball) in the gym. We had to tear him away!

& our final Christmas activity was visiting Santa-- it was touch & go but he finally sat on the Big Guy's lap :) He had to watch LOTS of kids, be bribed with a candy cane, and promises of riding the rides (the little machines that move if you put quarters in)...but my brave boy finally hopped up on Santa's lap. My only good photo is a bit fuzzy, but I think it's priceless!

Seriously....

Could his smile have gotten any better than this?!?!

Bentleyville 2013!

Last night we made the annual trip to Bentleyville-- a huge Christmas light display in Canal Park!! It was so great taking Kaleb this year. He loved it-- he walked through the whole display, pointing out different things. He especially liked when the Mickey Clubhouse characters sang the 12 Days of Christmas. It was packed full of people so we didn't stop to visit Santa....but all Kaleb kept saying when we left was "I go back! I go back!" So we'll definitely head back & gut in the rest of the fun :)

Workin' Man!!

Well, I cleaned when I was a kid, but I think Kaleb's got me beat. He LOVES to "help Mommy!" Usually he swiffers the floor when I'm done but today he asked to do it out of the blue. He happily swiffered away while I made lunch-- good work kid!!

Trick or Treat!

Kaleb LOVED Halloween :) 

It was a pretty crummy night so we thought we would just hit the 3 houses on our street & be done. Well, my little cow & his construction worker buddy were trick or treat champions!! They trekked up & down streets for over an hour. Kaleb ran up to each door, knocked, and said trick or treat as soon as someone answered. In true toddler fashion- he dug his hand into each bucket pulling out the piece of candy he wanted! Thank goodness all of our neighbors were good sports :) He was basically dragging his bucket behind him by the end....but he was smiling the entire way! I'd say it was a successful evening :)

I didn't get great photos, but enjoy a few so-so ones!
