Kids Christmas

Other than having a stomach bug going around the house for X-mas morning, we had a good day. Wanted to share some pics of the kids and how much they loved their gifts. It was funny to watch the boys help Lily open at the beginning and then once she figured it out she needed no ones help. Ethan got the Lego's and a Wii that he wanted and Aidan got Stinky the Garbage truck (which is in the pic above) . Lily got her own ride on toy and her doll that she wanted. Everyone but me was in bed by 8:30 pm. Hoping that the weather isn't going to be as bad as they claim (2 feet). I also hope all the throwing up is over.

Our tree

Here is our tree before the kids got up.

Polar Express at Ecotarium

We had a great time at the Ecotrium today. The kids sang songs and our 2 boys were the first kids to volunteer to sing. Aidan lead the group in Jingle Bells. They read the Polar Express story to us and then we got on the train and had a very cold ride around the grounds. After we went inside for cookies and hot cocoa. Then we got to see Santa. Aidan went right up to him and told him what he wanted and Ethan sweet talked him. Lily stood in the back looking at him. Matt took her up to him and she ran back to me. She wouldn't get on his lap or let him touch her. I got one quick picture and that was it. 6 more days to go and I can't wait to see their faces. Aidan will be so fun this year and Lily won't know what to do with herself. Ethan has lots of questions about Santa, but swears he will always believe.

Ethan with his new belt

Ethan got his dragon purple belt today, He is so funny with his poses. He wanted to show everyone his commas. He is enjoying the sparring and learning how to use the weapons.

Ethan's Purple karate belt graduation

Ethan got his new purple dragon belt in karate this morning. Wanted everyone to see his video.

My handsome man

Here is a picture of Ethan on his holiday concert day. He told me he wanted a tie. I think he was so cute. He wanted to know if he looked like he was going to the office today. I bought them for Christmas and I got one for Aidan too. Wait till you see him. They are going to meet Santa on Sunday and ride a train at the Ecotarium. I will have to get more pics.

The hunter

We went to PA for Thanksgiving and Ethan wanted to bring his toy shot gun to go hunting. Thanks to his cousin Dylan he got all dressed up like a hunter too. He asked me to add to his list to Santa that he wants his own orange vest and hat.

Aidan & Lily dancing

Caught the kids dancing to Dora yesterday. The funniest part was to see Aidan continue when Lily stopped. He is such a great big brother. He kisses her all the time and calls her his sweety.
