Picnic in December

It was a beautiful warm, sunny day today (in the upper 70's) and we all needed some 'daddy' time, so we took a picnic to the park. We grabbed McDonalds and a blanket and had a wonderful time! Ian got to run around and while he was gone Hailey got to steal sips of his orange soda, so both kids were happy.

singing and marching

finding sticks

This is the closest Ian will get to Santa and he was a little scared of this one (but rightfully so, I guess, because of the size)

Ian was so happy that Honey and Pappy got to come visit.

Ian LOVES snowmen!

Let it snow!

I'm Back!

We have been without internet here at the house for a few weeks now . . .which explains why there have been no updates recently. Thankfully, we just got wireless hooked up yesterday and I'm now a very happy mommy! Here are a few random pictures of the kids over the past month and I'm attaching a link to our facebook pictures of Hailey's birthday party at my parent's house. Hope you're enjoying the holiday season as much as we are here. We've already attempted taking Ian to see Santa once but he got scared at the last minute. He seems to be warming up to the idea so we'll see if we can't make it happen before the holidays are over!

Hailey has really been curious about the piano lately. She'll crawl up on one side and play for a while and then crawl over to the other side and play as well. It's really cute.
Since we had her big 1 year old party at my parent's house a week after her real birthday we thought we'd do just little celebration as our house. Here's a little cake just for her that she was very excited about eating.

Ian picked out a little snowman for himself. He takes after his Honey's love for snow and snowmen!

Hailey loves her daddy.

Ian said that he wanted to give Hailey a 'birthday ride' in his car. She thoroughly enjoyed it and now expects it!
Here is the link to more of Hailey's birthday pictures. Enjoy!
