January Fun

 Fun at Pump it Up!

  

 Claudia insisted on having her picture taken with the mannequin.

 

My mom came over one day and helped me paint of few of the walls in the girls room. So we decided to let each of the girls have a little bit of a turn. 

 Our exciting Ikea adventure with Aunt Goo. Good thing she was with me Ikea is crowded on a Saturday and 4 kids are exhausting!! Claudia wanted to try out EVERY SINGLE bed they had and she had to get under the covers to do it!

 It looks kinda like Katelyn ate a smurf, but I'm pretty sure its just a blue sucker! She's CRAZY for suckers!!!!

 We celebrated Grandma Garthe's 35th Birthday! We LOVE LOVE LOVE her!!!!

 The girls were painting one afternoon and when I left the room to use the bathroom I came back to this....

She didn't seem to mind. In fact, I think she liked it! I guess I shouldn't get my hair colored (painted) when the girls are around, this is what they learn to do.

 

We went with John's family to Medieval Times for an adults only night out. It was a lot of fun. Kinda cheesy but nice to be out without the kids.

 

Castle Park

We all got Castle Park annual passes for Christmas and had to activate them by December 31st. So we took a quick trip to castle park, rode a few rides and had a great time!!

New Year's Eve

We love having a bigger house and being closer to family; this means we get to have them over more often!!! 

For New Year's eve we had family and friends over to celebrate the New Year with New York time. The kids had fun playing together and the adults enjoyed playing games. We also played a charades type game all together that was a LOT of FUN!

Once clock struck Midnight we went outside for some  Noisy FUN!!!

Fred Elfie the Elf

An Elf appeared at our house on December 1st along with this note... 

We named him Fred and he came and visited with us each day. At night he reported back to Santa. The kids had so much fun trying to find him each morning. Above are just some samples of where we found him. 

Hopefully he come back and join us again next year. 

Gender Reveal

We decided to do a gender reveal for this baby since this is most likely our last. And I found this really cute idea online. John and I found out at the Ultra sound so I bought some silly strip and wrapped the cans in black paper and then we invited our family over to reveal the gender. It was SOOOOOO MUCH FUN!!!!!

What will it be???? 

It's a GIRL!!!!

We also served cupcakes and ice cream. Our cupcakes were filled with PINK filling.
