Lyza's 5th Birthday!

We put Lyza in the tub one night and this is who we found in there after a while
 Passed out!
Nixon has started sleeping in a big boy bed. Hooray!
 Last week for church Nixon and I sported matching bow ties
 Lyza looked beautiful as usual
 Spiderman joined us for dinner
 What a cute duo

Relaxing after the library
We went to a missionary farewell and Nixon wore his Spiderman costume. Someone there drew this for him.
Kim took the kids on a sled ride this week and they had a blast
 Stop eating the snow Nixon!
 They have been in love with hot chocolate. Nice mustache

 All that web slinging makes Spiderman tired
Christmas bingo for family home evening was a lot of fun
 I won this hippopotamus for a prize

Figgy the elf has found himself in some interesting places
Cute snowman that Lyza made
 She is so cute in this had with a green bow
 We went to a Christmas house this week. We took a bus there, which was the kids' first bus ride

 There was a camel

 Sheep
This house had A LOT of lights

Mason passed out a swaddled up
 Thee Grinch was there (Nixon was terrified of him)
 Clifford was there
 Cute kids
 Nixon saw Santa (Lyza was too scared to talk to him)
They had a cotton candy machine there



 Ho Ho Ho

 The ride home was just as exciting as the ride there
Figgy remembered Lyza's birthday
Lyza chose banana chocolate chip muffins for her birthday breakfast
 We had a fun breakfast together
After Kim's workout she took the kids to Denny's for a free birthday meal for Lyza

Yummy
 I came home form work at lunch time and we went out to Mobius Museum
It is located at the mall so we saw the big  Christmas tree first
 And I took the kids up and down the escalator
Right at the entrance to the museum Lyza was greeted by one of her best friends
There are lots of fun activities for the kids. Giant teeth and tooth brush

This digging pit that Lyza calls the dinosaur pit
 Cute pair
 This water table is my favorite



Nixon really loved these crazy cars


This is the best picture we could get of the kids together because they were SO busy  
Lyza loved the house area and gathered up a bunch of animals and mothered them

 Nixon climbed on everything possible
Nixon liked moving these cars by jumping on the bellows
Nixon was really proud of himself with lots of these activities
 
He got so happy at the end of this video
These big bubbles were lots of fun
 Mason wasn't afraid of the dinosaur. He was born into a dinosaur house
He did get pretty tired by the end of that big afternoon
 After dinner it was time for presents

This big dinosaur was a hit



Lyza requested a dinosaur ice cream cake and her amazing mother delivered

 What a beauty!
The kids have put on some pretty fun dancing sessions lately
Here is another
Kim and Mason were having some fun one night. Kim would drop him down fast and his face would change from a smile to a frown really fast. We got some of it on video, but it was much more intense before we recorded it
Mason really like to laugh and Nixon is pretty good at helping him
We can't believe Lyza is 5! She is so smart, sweet, fun, energetic, thoughtful, crazy, silly, loving, and so many other things. We are so blessed to have her.
Take care
