Mayna's Birthday

Happy 4th Birthday Mayna!

We had a great day at the Little Gym for Mayna's 4th birthday! It was so much fun running, climbing, jumping, dancing, swinging and just playing with a bunch of friends. We especially loved the snacks and the cupcake. Thanks for a great time Mayna!

The birthday girl!

Climbing up on the beam....fearless!

Look at this...not even a wiggle!

It was so much fun to jump on the airtrack (it's like a trampoline but, air inside)

Grace and Dawson waited so patiently for their turn on the airtrack.

Climbing under the ropes.

Bubbles on the airtrack.......

Waiting for the airtrack to deflate...all smiles! What a great way to make our cold Saturday a lot more fun!!!

Toy Story on Ice

Disney never fails to provide us with an event that is fun and full of action. Toy Story on ice was no exception of amazing entertainment! We walked in, found our great second row seats and were just ready to settle in when, Dawson decided she wanted a Jessie hat. This was probably my favorite souvenir of all and it has already been put to good use! Our dress up trunk is filling up quickly!

If you have seen all the movies, you would know exactly how the ice show was going to go. The first scene involved the army men. It was a very cool beginning. Any adult would have been able to enjoy this show!

This was the look on my little "Jessie's" face the whole time. As usual, she was taking it all in while her own little Jessie doll sat on her lap!

My two favorite characters. Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head.

And another fun character...Bull's Eye.

Winter Fun

Thanks to Aunt Kathy, Uncle Ric and Mother Nature, we have been outside ice skating and enjoying the winter weather.

Dawson wanted to walk on the ice first and see what it was all about.

Thinking about it with Aunt Kim.

And finally going for a skate...kind of...if you can call lifting up your feet skating???

Children's Museum

No we are not at the beach (I wish)! We are at the Children's Museums Egyptian exhibit. This museum fills a very large room with 70 tons of sand and and buries treasures for the children to find. It also had some pyramids to go through, a large sand sculpture and some ancient Egyptian dress up clothes. Dawson and her cousin Sophia had a blast just digging, building, and laughing in the sand.

Time to fill up the bucket.

Where are my feet?

Dawson and Sophia kept filling up their buckets and flipping them. Sometimes they fell apart and the two girls thought it was very funny!

A little water table fun. Everyone had to put on a raincoat to stay dry. Great idea!!

Another fun section of the museum was the grocery store. It was fun to pick out some food and put it in the cart!

When it was time to check out, Sophia made an excellent cashier.

Next came the farm. I'm not sure what these two were shouting but they were doing it from the second floor of the barn.

Part of the farm section had dress up clothes. When Dawson tried on this hat she said, "look at me, I'm Jessie." (from Toy Story)

Then she became a chicken...

And Sophia became a pig...

Oh, I'm having so much fun this Xmas break I'm not going to want to go back to work next week! Five more days of fun to come!

"Amazone" Fun with Friends

We met our two friends Grace and Mayna at an area indoor playground to get the wiggles out and have a little holiday fun. The two girls took off climbing, jumping and sliding. Dawson decided she was going to stay back and watch for quite a while. I would have to say it was very wild and crazy with many kids running, kicking and jumping all over the place. Eventually, my girl got up and joined in the fun. She was able to jump right in the craziness and hit the slides!

Three girls heading down the slides. I can't tell you how many times they went down these slides! A LOT!!!

All three girls liked to hang on to these. Just looks like fun!

Merry Christmas 2o1o

Merry Christmas!

Christmas morning was much more fun this year because Dawson really knew what was going on. I think she loved every single gift! Her favorite was the Rapunzel tower along with Rapunzel doll, Flynn Ryder (the prince), and Maximus the horse. Some other favorites were the Leapster Explorer, the keyboard from Uncle Mike and Aunt Beth and the ice skates that we are going to try in the next few days! (Thanks Aunt Kathy and Uncle Ric!)

She opened gifts in her regular Dawson style. Very carefully and quietly. It took forever!!!!

Minnie Mouse baby sitting in her high chair!

Now she's in her bed!

What's in that stocking? Lots and lots of bandaids! Santa must know we love them!

Rapunzel's castle

A beautiful scarf!

Just playing with some fairies and Flynn Rider.

Merry Christmas to all...and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas 2o1o

From my family to yours.... Merry Christmas!

Enjoy the holiday season with friends, family and fun!
