Monday at the Mall and LOTS of Bon Bons

On Monday Caleb, Caroline, and I met Nana and PawPaw at the mall for some shopping and lunch. We had fun looking at all of the pretty Christmas decorations. It has kind of become a Christmas tradition to meet there. Maybe one year we'll get PawPaw to try ice skating!
After we were tired of shopping, we headed home so Nana and I could make bon bons. We made about 400! Thanks Nana for all of your help!

Santa Again?!?

At brunch we tried to get Caleb and Caroline to take another picture with Santa. As you can see below...it didn't work out so good. Caroline arched her back as soon as I sat her in his lap! Oh well...maybe next year? After that we decided to just try for a decent family picture but Caroline still didn't want to smile for us!

Brunch with Santa

On Sunday we went to brunch with Santa with Nana, PawPaw, Jonathan, Amy, Emma, and Maddie. The food was delicious and the kids did good so we had a great time! Caleb and Caroline loved the waffles with whipping cream! Not exaclty healthy but, it kept them entertained!

Thanks Nana and PawPaw--we had fun!

Playing at Nana and PawPaw's

This past weekend Caleb and Caroline spent some time at Nana and PawPaw's house. They had the best time! Caroline had fun playing with all of the dishes and Caleb loved putting on Nana's shoes and trying to walk around the house!

Play Time with MOPS

Yesterday we met our MOPS table at the park to play. It was a beautiful day and Caleb and Caroline had so much fun playing with their little friends. Caleb is such a big boy--he would climb up the playset and go down the slide all by himself! Caroline still needs a little help but she had fun. Below are some pictures that I stole from Courtney's blog b/c I forgot my camera! Thanks Courtney!

Fun Saturday!

On Saturday Brett's work had a Christmas party for kids at the Aquarium in downtown. Caleb and Caroline loved looking at all of the fish--especially the sharks! After a fun lunch, Santa made an appearance! See the pics below--Caleb and Caroline were soooo happy waiting in line for Santa. Then, see the picture where they are in his lap--not so happy!

On Saturday evening Caleb and Caroline went to their friend, Ellie's 4th birthday party. It was at a gym so they had lots of fun running around, jumping on all of the mats, and hanging on the bars. And, of course, they loved the cake and lemonade!
