Christmas 2012

Christmas this year was so fun with Kyle. I had to work Christmas Eve (I was not happy about that at all) so after I got off work, we packed up and drove to the lake. Kimberly and Jason had to leave early Christmas morning, so we opened presents when we got there. we are really looking forward to next Christmas. Kyle and Aidan will be older and able to play and Aunt Grace will be there (she spent this Christmas in Ireland with Jeff - who became her fiancé). 

we opened our gifts before we went out of town.

Christmas 2012

This year I wanted to get Kyle's picture with the northpark Santa Claus, especially since we are moving in June. I got to the mall early in the morning and picked up a number, and the guy told me to come back in the afternoon.


Standing in line to get her picture with Santa.



Of course having snacks before she gets her pictures.



Kyle pulled through and we have a classic picture for a keepsake.

Fun with cousin Ellen

Play dates are getting more interactive now that Kyle and Ellen are older. We've taken them to eat lunch, play at the parks, and go to the museum, which has been really fun watching them interact with each other

NYC & Philly Trip December 2012

One of the things I wanted to do on my bucket list was to see NYC at Christmas time. We asked Billy's parents, Nonni & Poppi, to join us on the trip for a long weekend. We also booked Amtrak tickets to ride up to Philadephia for a day. Kyle of course tagged along, so the trip was fun but tiring with her sleeping in our room.
