December 16: Caroling in the Park

Friday night, we checked out BREC's Caroling in the Park with some friends. It was great! There was lots to see and do! I didn't take too many pictures, but here are the ones I did :)

Sorry, but Peter wasn't going anywhere near him- he had a death grip on me!

When Santa asked Mick what he wanted, he pointed to the race car in the bin. So he got what he asked for this time and was happy (so was I!) Maybe next year he'll understand he has to wait until Christmas :)

December 15: Mick's Christmas party

On Thursday, Mike and I went to Mick's Christmas party at school. It was quite possibly the cutest thing ever. I really enjoyed seeing him in his classroom! He wasn't too sure about why we were there, but he loved showing Mike everything.

December 13-15: Back Home!

We had dinner at our favorite restaurant Zippy's:

On Wednesday, I took the kids to get their hair cut and little did I know Santa was there!! Sara was SO excited! Mick was a little nervous, but he sat on Santa's lap and asked for a train. The problem was that he expected to get a train right then. Santa gave him a bag of candy and he was convinced that his train was in there and I had lost it. He pretty much cried the rest of the day. Oh well...

The kids love to play Santa. They take turns being Santa and sitting on each other laps Its so funny to hear Mick say "Ho ho ho, Sara sit on my lap" :)

December 9-12: Stomach Bug

The kids and I went to Lafayette for the weekend since Mike was at drill. Little did I know that we had the stomach bug so our trip wasn't as much fun as we had hoped. Sorry we got everyone sick...

Here are some pictures I took:

I was inspired and tried to get a picture for our card. The jury is still out as to whether or not I got one...

Sara is holding her nose because I am stinky :)

I had a good race- I am trying to get myself back into it and I was able to run under 2:10. A big thank you to my hubby who allowed me to train! Love you!

Later on, Mike and Sara put the lights on the house:
