Christmas 2012

These are all terribly out of order, so I will just put a quick caption under them and hopefully not have to ever have such a big post lol

 

 

Along with my Christmas Gift my Boys made me a story book that was full of pictures of their trip to target to pick out my gift,  it was hilarious,  and made me cry, I cry a lot

 

 

Christmas morning!!  Nick has an app on his phone that when you say "cheese" the camera will take a pic!!!  Ember didn't quite get it,  daddy jumped behind us and said cheese and she just kept lookin at him :)

 

After Christmas Nicks parents took us to Traverse city to the Great Wolf Lodge for 2 nights and 3 days, It really was awesome,  we had a lot of fun,  The boys had their own little sweet with bunks in them in our room and a tv,  it was so awesome

This was the top of the bunk :)

 



 Glitter Tatoos!!!!

 

 This was from the beginning of Dec when we sent our letters out to Santa,   They were pretty cute,  Cooper asked for a bed for Ember, "because cribs aren't beds"

 

 The whole crew in the lobby of Great Wolf Lodge

 

 This was that day at Castaway, Right before we lost cooper lol

 Nick and Ember and I played Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus in the Live Nativity at church :)  it was awesome.

 Three Kiddos!

 

 Joseph and Baby Jesus :)

 We went out to see Santa in the Novi mall,  He was an awesome Santa Wil leaned over to me when he saw him and said "I think that might be the REAL one!!!"

 1 more sleep!!!

Christmas really was fun this year,  they are at such perfect ages,  the excitement was tangible

 

 Both boys got Reindeer food (oatmeal and glitter) to scatter in the yard to that Rudolf could smell the house and see it sparkle from the sky,  wil took his time and scattered it evenly everywhere, and cooper threw one handful and then dumped it all in a big pile in the middle of the driveway lol, 

 We spent Christmas eve with grandma and grandpa blaine and Ember got her hand painted toy box!!!   its gorgeous and matches her bedding,  so perfect, I love it a lot!!!!   I gave her a blanket to paint it from  which I did with Wils toy box and his turned out great too!  Coopers I just asked for a sports theme...  and well it was kinda lame.....  lol so I am super glad I didn't do that this time :)

 Christmas morning!!!!  They were so excited,  I think they woke us up at 7, but Wil said that they had been up for a while lookin at the boxes :) 

 When we got home from great wolf lodge we left nick at home and headed to iowa for new years!!!  We had a dance party with a fog machine and Jake n Rachel were there,

We took the kids sledding behind Grandma Granzow's house and they cried like little girls,  it was hilariously frusterating lol,  It took us 45 mins to get sledding clothes for everyone,  snow pants for me n Rachel and grandma n grandpa,  we all got over there and it was soooo cold that we went down the hill 2 times and the boys were both crying so hard, they got snow in their faces, or wil thought he broke his foot,  lol so we called it early,   stinkin pansie girld,  they needed their daddy there to smack the sissy outta them!!!
