December 2010

December just speeds by, with all the shopping, planning, cooking, activities, parties.... Here are some images from our December:

I somehow got some of these out of order, but this is actually New Year's Eve at Sci Port. They have all kinds of activities for the kids, a Chinese dragon dance and a balloon drop at noon! So much fun...

I just love this picture. This was at the Boardwalk. Micalee was checking out the decorations around the light pole and I loved how you can see her reflection in the ornament!

Early December brought Disney on Ice Princess Wishes to town. This was Micalee's first time to see ice skating & she loved the show!

One of my favorite December activities is to go to Christmas in Roseland & see all the lights & giant Christmas cards made by all the local schools! It's cold, but so much fun & we always get hot chocolate to help keep us warm.

Each year, we make Turtles for our family & friends. It's fun & makes the house smell so good, too! Micalee got to help this year!

Ok, I walked into the kitchen to find Micalee with a gardening hat on & hanging on to the leg of the island. I swear this girl has pole dancing potential! I will have to redirect her natural talents to something a little more sophisticated!

Aunt Jeanie gave Micalee this elf costume & she loves to put it on & watch The Polar Express! This time, she had her "little" Teddy Bear friend watch with her!

Getting ready to go to her Preschool Christmas Program. She did so good!

Making a gingerbread train (or eating the candy while Mama tries to get it all together!!!)....

Christmas Eve at Aunt Jeanie's. I love seeing the kiddos in their matching jammies!!! The grown ups had some matching ones, too!!!

A look at the what Santa left before the fun begins.....

And after Micalee got to get into it all......

This was my favorite Christmas photo shoot picture, especially after I got done playing with it some!!!

This year, Santa left the little ones a very special gift....tickets to the Polar Express!!! So we all jumped in the car the day after Christmas, to take a drive a few hours away to catch the train...

Here we are on the train.....

Oooooh we got it.......Hot, hot, hot, hot chocolate!!!
