It is crazy seeing how fast these kids grow up
They are proud of their building
Mason is slowly getting more patient when it comes to reading books. Every now and then we make it through a whole book
What a pretty girl
Cute kids
Mason getting the royal treatment (pulled in a wagon)
Lyza got this birthday crown at school a few days before he birthday and she has been wearing it all the time
Google just released an app that takes videos on your phone and turns them into comic strip style pictures. It is kind of fun.
Mason and his mom at the library
Lyza got this Christmas ornament at school
Kim loves seeing Mason in these Christmas diapers so much that she won't dress him
Look at that pose! I think this was the morning of her school Christmas party where they got to wear their PJs and watch a Christmas movie at school
Nixon has lots of fun with mom when Lyza is at school
Mason did this for a long time
Silly boys
Mason is trying to reach Figgie
Mason loves sleeping with covers over his head
Mason has learned how to act like a pig
This boy is dangerous
Kim has been super crafty lately
Thing 1 and Thing 2 shoveling snow
On Friday Kim and I had a date attending my work Christmas party
Google thinks we had a year full of smiles
Kim bought this hose head for a white elephant party and the kids didn't like it
Mason practices cooking
Saturday was a BIG day
Decorating Lyza's birthday cake
Lyza requested chocolate chip pancakes for her birthday breakfast
Here she is with her cake
And what a cake it was!
Freeze dancing was lots of fun
Mason loved watching all of the kids and laughed every time they froze
They played musical chairs and of course the birthday girl won ;)
Here is the bunch (minus Nixon who was having a hard time at the moment)
What is a birthday without the song?
She barely blew the candle out
If that face doesn't scream joy, then I don't know what does
The kids had lots of fun with presents and the hugs were adorable
They all watched some PJ Masks (the theme of the party) before it ended
After that I helped Lyza (and Nixon) work on her fossil kit. It was a big chunk of plaster that needed to be broken up (slowly) to find the dinosaur fossils)
Lyza kept telling us that it was the best day of her life!
Cat Boy!
We did some family gifts later in the day and Lyza got a one-of-a-kind dinosaur night gown
When she found out that he mom made it for her she did this
I have been telling Lyza that it is likely that she is the only girl in the entire world that has a dinosaur night gown
She also got this robot dinosaur and is in love with it
Mason's reactions are a little more mixed
That evening Kim and I went to an adult Christmas party and gift exchange
We found this cool house nearby
On Monday night we organized a Christmas caroling activity with 6 other families. It was a lot of fun
Get back to work Mason, the snow doesn't clear itself!
Mason has been obsessed with coloring and fortunately he spends more time actually coloring than trying to eat the crayons
The kids got to watch old Christmas cartoons (like Mickey, the chipmunks and Pluto, and Donald Duck) with their mom yesterday and they had a blast
I can't believe that Christmas is only 4 days away! We are excited and hope you are too!
Take care and Merry Christmas!
Thank you Kim and Dan so much for posting each week!! It is like waiting for our favorite show to come on each week. It is also fun to read the captions.
