So many Valetnine festivities! Ayden rolled around with his school friends at the skating rink for a special Valentine Skate Night.
At school Ayden collected tons of Valentine's from his classmates in his Monsterous box we created on a snow day a couple weeks back.
Allie attended her first Valentine Dance at middle school. She rocked her beautiful sequined dress and Nike sneakers.
This year Allie would like to work on her FULL at tumbling classes. She's developed into a pretty good little tumbler and getting her full is the next skill she would like to master.
Ayden has gotten to be a bit of a picky eater, so his goal of eating healthier food will hopefully help expand his palate.
We did things a little backwards this year…we had Christmas before Christmas Eve!! Santa got word that we were heading south for break. So he swung by our house early when he took his sleigh out for a test drive last night. We did all the traditions…sprinkled reindeer food outside, watched The Polar Express, gave our elves a hug goodbye (or a really long snuggle), filled up our Give Back Sacks, and left out milk and cookies.
Another year with these little guys. Tonight they are leaving and going back to the North Pole. Ayden is sad to say goodbye to Jingle and Brownie (his elf pet), but he’s looking forward to Santa coming…and vacation shortly after! Ayden gave Brownie so much love this year! Santa's sleigh is going to have no problem flying this year.
Super memorable and COLD Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village. Rode the model T’s, took a horse drawn carriage ride, listened to the “Night Before Christmas” around the campfire, and saw Santa. We were all on the “nice” list.
Our bake day was downsized just a tad this year...but we still made my mom’s famous Christmas Rock cookies like every year…thinking of my parents this weekend. The kids love decorating cookies so we made sugar cookies too, and my little helpers decorated the evening away. They came out so cute!!
