Our Week in iPhone Photos: 12/15-12/21

It’s VACATION! Yay! Not that that means there is anything less going on around here; in fact, we are busier than ever in our pre-trip crunch time, but at least Daddy is home from school…

Sunday

There was snow, so of course we HAD to test out our boots.

I took a nap while Mommy and Daddy and Cole ran errands at Costco.

Monday

It was the last Aardvarks of the year!
Sarah and I rocked out.

Tuesday

Tuesday was a snow day!
Mommy did some baking…
…and the excitement got to be too much for me.

Wednesday

On Wednesday, Mommy and I dropped by Costco to pick up my birthday party invitations. and we shared lunch. $1.50 for a hot dog and a soda – can’t beat it!
Daddy took us sledding while Mommy had rehearsal.
And then we got to go to McDonald’s! I liked my snow pants so much, I refused to take them off. Notice Cole demonstrating an alternative approach to the slide.

Thursday

Cole won the race! He earned his final sticker, and got a MAJOR prize!
Local friends know that Mommy has dropped 40 pounds over the last year; she fell off the Weight Watchers band wagon in a big way around Halloween/her birthday, but joined the gym and has been putting in renewed effort. Still a way to go, but pretty proud of where she is!
Cole had a great swim lesson on Thursday afternoon!
“Mommy, take a picture of me on this wall.” ummm… okay.
You will notice that *I* am not in the picture with Santa. Cole asked him for a present for me, and I stayed as far away as possible.

Friday

We had lunch with Aunt Angela, and I got noodle that I ordered all by myself. Um, Stir Crazy? Your high chairs are not high enough,
Cole studied Japan in school and painted his own kimono.
Daddy and Cole playing with their new toy.

Saturday

Oh, you guys. Saturday was FUN.
Mommy and I went to a Sparkle party where I got a glitter tattoo and had my hair done.
And I danced.
AND double fisted yummy cookies.
After the party, we visited with Grammy Boo for a bit.
Then we had dinner at a friend’s house. Andrew has some pretty great toys.
We went to check out Turtleback Zoo‘s awesome zoo lights.
Flamingos!
If you follow us on Facebook, you may have seen the video of me talking about my favorite part: the carousel!
It was a tiring day…

For my friends who celebrate, Merry Christmas! I hope you have a great holiday! Local friends, remember to enter to win a 4 pack of tickets to Disney On Ice presents Princesses & Heroes!
