December

 Putting up the ornaments is always fun!  The kids get so excited when they find their favorites!

 Maddie's 7th Birthday Party - the Shopkins theme was chosen by Maddie.  We went on a treasure hunt lead by Matt and made toasty pop crafts.  The girls were so funny and hyper!

 Christmas program at Edison Park.  Can't believe I don't have pictures of my performers, Maddie and Dane!

 Maddie got Baby Abbie from Aunt Tami.  Emmie fell in love with that baby in an instant.  Maddie is such a good sister and decided they could share her.

 On Maddie's b-day, we took her out an hour early and headed to the Shrek Adventure to Santa.  She chose Hay Carumba for her B-day dinner.

 The Nutcracker Dance Show in Glenview.  It was super cute!  Abriana did great!

 Dane's holiday party at Grace - final one!

 Last time for this lap child...baby girl is growing up!

 Pirate Adventure.  Uncle Joe cracked us all up!  We didn't realize it was him when we walked up. Aunt Kristin was in tears - hysterical!

 Getting spoiled at Aunt Tami's house! :)

 Sand art - so cool!

 We love being near the beach!  The pier walk never gets old!  We enjoyed breakfast at our favorite little cafe.

 Addison, Maddie and I went on a 2 hour hike.  They were troopers and had a great time!

 Happy New Year!!

Birthday Excitement!

We didn't realize Maddie was taping...she's a goof ball!
