All I want for Christmas...

What a nice surprise this year to find that ALL 3 actually smiled while on Santa's lap!  We saw Santa at Church like we do every year and S and J were well prepared to give their wishes!

Sophia asked Santa for the McKenna American Girl doll and for the DS she has been wanting ohhhh so badly for quite some time now.  J asked for a remote control helicopter, cars and a crane.  S and J went through catalogs from the mail to cut and paste on their trees we made this year....They even came up with a wish list for Sammy including a remote control fire truck and a my-pad:)

Love Sophia's expression down below as she is listening to J talk...and Santa's face....hahaha too funny!

Thanksgiving 2012

Yes I am just getting around to posting our Thanksgiving pictures.  We took a few pictures in the morning in hopes of getting a good picture for our Christmas card before heading to Omi and Papa's for Thanksgiving lunch:)

After our tummies were full and the boys napped we headed down to the plaza for our annual tradition of watching the lights go on!  We lucked out with beautiful not so cold temps this year!

The kids look forward to this every year... Sam and J were especially looking forward to the fireworks this year that go along with the lights;)

Halloween 2012

I am bound and determine to play catch up on this blog!!  Having to backtrack a bit to Halloween...

And I am glad I actually got a few pictures of the kids at Trunk or Treat in their costumes...because Halloween night went by so quickly and the kids, in their excitement, did not cooperate for pictures... But who can blame them...they were ready for the fun!

Here is J all ready for his parade at preschool!

Love that smile!

Here are the three really excited to head out the door!

And it wouldn't be a party without Bert and Ernie...right?

Well...they definitely got some good use out of their costumes this year after all of the parades, parties, trunk or treat, and trick-or-treating.   And when all was said and done, they came home with WAAAAYYY too much chocolate...which isn't always a bad thing...right?
