A Flash of December

 December was a lot of fun.  It involved a birthday party for Haley and Ryan, lots of Christmas activities, tons of crafting, and family fun.  Here are some pictures from our adventures.  First, we have a cute pic of Alexia and Ryan under the Christmas tree.

Here is Ryan eating his birthday cake.  We actually had a decorate your own cake pop bar for the party.  It was a lot of fun.  I should have taken a picture of our toppings.  Even the adults had fun decorating them!  I still had a separate little cake for Haley and Ryan though.

 Haley adored her birthday cake.  She picked it up and started eating it like a sandwich.  It was hilarious.

 Once she realized she had frosting all over her fingers, she started licking them to death.  She wanted to be sure to get every bit of frosting she could!

 Alexia and Ryan cuddling up on the bean bag, watching a movie.

 Ryan wearing daddy's glasses.

 Ryan has learned the art of using objects to make a fake mustache.  It is quite priceless.

 Even though it was December, it was still warm enough most of the time to play outside.  This is just a nice cute picture of them playing outside.

 Haley in one of the adorable outfits she got for her birthday.  I love it!!

Some Random Pics from November

 Alexia and Ryan.  They have always been such good friends and I feel so blessed for that.

Making homemade volcano's as a family.

 And a sad, priceless face from Haley.

Ryan

 These pictures are a bit fuzzy too, but they are just too cute to pass up.  I had the camera out to transfer some pictures and Ryan asked me to take some of him.  He started posing.  All I can say is that it looks like Calvin Klein has some competition!  I do apologize that they are blurry.

 I think this has to be one of my favorites!!

A Bunch of Haley

 Haley is such a doll.  She brings such joy to all our lives.  Her brother and sister adore her.  Here are some pictures of her from November.  First, doing one of her favorite things: eating.

She ADORES being outside.  She would live outside if I would let her.  This picture was taken at the park.

 The next few pictures were all from Thanksgiving.  She had so much fun running around our friends house.  This little chair was the perfect height for her to keep climbing on.

 She also adored this little bear at their house.  And what can I say?  That smile is just adorable.

 This picture is quite fuzzy, but it shows well one of the primary forms of entertainment for the night.  Haley would pick up one of the squeaky dog balls, throw it, and the dog would bring it back to her.  It was so sweet.

 Another priceless face!!

It's Been a While

 So... it has obviously been a while since I posted.  I think  I got discouraged and stopped because I can't seem to make the blog reader show on other blogs that I have updated mine.  It keep saying that the last time I posted was way back when I posted The Bat Car.  So, I feel like, since it doesn't update, that nobody reads it.  I may start a new blog as playing with the settings doesn't seem to have helped at all.  Anyway, for now, let's play catch up.  Way back in October, we had a little snow storm.  It didn't stay long, but it was there long enough to make a snow man!  The kids loved it. 

 Ryan was Optimus Prime for Halloween.  I don't have a good picture of it though.  Perhaps I will have him put on his costume so I can get a pic.

 Haley was Spiderman.  She was a cutie.

Alexia was Tinkerbell this year.  She had sooo much fun!  We went to a party at a friend's house.  They had some fun activities for the kids, then we did a little trunk or treat.
