Christmas 2012

What's a holiday with out a Pinterest inspired cupcake?

Pat replaced the syrup he & Ken drank, & made whole wheat pancakes!

Oh, Pat!

The Fam!

Christmas Take 2 - Christmas morning, Santa came!

Santa came! (they're spoiled, we know.)

She's hoping it's a princess castle...it was!

His new addiction, Star Wars!

She was happy with just the picture, I had to convince her to keep opening.

Santa brought a pirate ship, just like cousin Logan's!

My favorite photo!

Christmas Take 3 - Christmas Evening at Uncle Marc & Aunt Michelle's

More holiday apparel!

Tacky sweater photo shoot!

               Here's to a Happy & Healthy 2013!

It's Pat!

Our elf, Pat, was sent by Santa at the beginning of the month.  Since then he has been watching who has been naughty and who has been nice, and let me tell you, he has been busy!  Here's some of the shenanigans he has been up to (in photos, because that's how I function).

Pat covered our windows with snowflakes!

Super Pat!

A tea party with Buzz.

Just hanging out.

Doing the Tango with Frosty.

Trying to get a good view of the monsters...I mean angels.

Enjoying a Coke.

He favors the aerial view.

Fishing.

Wishing C&P a Happy Birthday!

and a note.

Pat sent peppermint seeds to plant!

7:00 am planting mess.

Putting on the "magic sprinkles."

Look what grew! (Found out they hate peppermint, just like their Dad!)

Finishing off the syrup with Jersey Shore Ken.

I'm sure Pat will go out with a bang on Christmas Eve!

Pirates & Princesses

We celebrated C&P's birthday with family & a few of their buddies.  C& P chose a Pirate & Princess themed birthday party, even though I had my heart set on Toy Story. 

A cake fit for a princess.

A walk the plank cake.

One day I'm just going to have a Christmas themed birthday party, aaand done!

Where's Ariel?

Swag!

Snow White.

He's ready to swab the deck!

He could not wait for everyone to finish eating so that he could eat cake!

Three year-old twins, Holy Cow!

We sing twice, 1st to Paige....

& then to Cam!

All the kids in their pirate & princess gear! (or at least as close as a photo with 7 three year-olds gets!)

 

PARTY SUCCESS!

Happy 3rd Birthday

I just blinked, and now they are THREE!!

9 Days Old.

Peace out, NICU!
