Some Random March Pics

Time is flying. We have been busy and enjoy lots of fun activities.

Kate had a playdate with her friend Audrey and they both got into the swimsuit action.

Lucy adventuring at the park

Math night at the kids school. It was great!

Jaydon planning out his moves in chess

 Kate's school went on a field trip to Safetyville. She had fun touring the mini-city with kid size streets and buildings.

Poor bubba came down with a bug

Kate's school did fall pics (I posted those gems of all 3 kids) and then they came back and did spring photos (including the outfit). I bought the fun collage that included all three of these cute shots.

Lucy helped me make a baked German Pancake - Yum!

December Fun

Hard to believe how fast December is going. We have had a ton of fun and crammed in a lot of great activities already!

Note Kate and I were alone in this bed, the amount of space I had...the small spot to left in the photo. My little snuggler!

We even managed to go to a Seahawks party down here! Our friends family were in town and the brother in law is a huge Hawks fan. We managed to enjoy celebrating a W together. Kate even got a makeover from 6 year old Lilah, she was thrilled

Last day of gymnastics - ta da. Kate brought little cards for each kid and handed them out at the end.

Breakfast with Santa

Our HOA did a fun breakfast with Santa thing

Cookie decorating

Santa performed the telling of the Night Before Christmas

It was a fun family event.

Church Santa Pics

Right after breakfast with Santa we ran to our church and got more pics with Santa and did fun crafts.

Sirens with Santa

Our local fire/police work together to host a big parade called Sirens with Santa. They collect toys for tots and have all kinds of emergency vehicles with sirens blaring and one decorated sleigh with Santa. It was a pretty fun outing.

This house (above video) is less than .5 miles from our house, it does a huge light show/display every year. Pretty fun to see.

We headed to WA for the weekend and were able to get in to see our favorite Santa, this year they also took these additional pics of the kids.

Same Santa for our 5th year

Cookie Decorating

 While I was sad to miss cookie day in WA this year I did have each kid pick out a type of cookie they wanted to make with me. Lucy went for chocolate chips with mint M&Ms, Kate did gingerbread cutouts and Jaydon picked snicker doodles. I then made no bake cookies for Jeremy and he got in on the decorating action.

 

 

 

Kate's Christmas Concert

We got ourselves on the wrong side of the sanctuary but Kate enjoyed her Christmas concert and I attempted to get a couple pics.

Croatian Hall Santa Dinner

Immediately after Kate's concert we ran to the Croatian Hall to enjoy a lovely dinner and visit with Santa. The kids had fun playing with their friends and we enjoyed another lovely meal and socializing time. Above Kate with her friend Gavin. Below Lucy with Lilah and Mia.

Jaydon with Marco, Mateo and Luca

The kids sing some songs and in order for Santa to arrive they have to sing really loudly because he gets lost. It was great.

Sharing the mic or just trying not to be the one holding it at the end.

Santa!

Kate was thrilled, Lucy was not happy. Also we found out about 7 hours later that Lucy had the flu so that may have contributed to her not being super happy.

Yummm...dessert

The 5 of us

Our friends Erica, Lilah and Gavin

All of us together with Santa

As I mentioned Lucy came down with the flu, poor girl it always hits her hard and she can't seem to stop throwing up until she gets a zofran in her system. I had neglected to take pics the week before when both Jaydon and I came down with the 12 hour flu! So at this point Jeremy fought it hard and seems to have been successful and I can only hope that Kate doesn't get it.

Hard to believe it is only about half way through December - we have had a lot of fun so far!
