Happy Birthday Kaylyn!!

 On January 11th Kaylyn turned 2! For her birthday, we went to the Children's Discovery Museum and then had a little family party at home that evening. Here is the cake and table set up:

Christmas 2012

I just love Christmas time. We had a great Christmas. Here is our tree. This picture is from early in December - as you can tell by the small amount of presents :)

 Here are some fun, cute Christmas pictures I took of the kids to put in Christmas cards to the great-grandparents.

 We went to see Santa at the mall. This year we discovered the "express pass." If you pre-pay for your picture package and pay a few extra dollars - it was only like 3 or 5 - you get to cut to the front of the long, long line to see Santa. So worth it!! You don't have to stand forever in line and the kids aren't all cranky by the time you get to Santa. James did so much better this year with sitting in Santa's lap. He even talked to Santa and told him he wanted trains and cars for Christmas. Kaylyn, on the other hand, did not do as well, as you can see from the picture. Maybe she'll do better next year. :)

 Here are the kids on Christmas Eve in their new pajamas :)

 Santa came!!

 Here are the kids opening their way-too-many presents on Christmas morning. :) Michael's mom flew down from Seattle for a few days, so she was here for Christmas and was able to see the kids open their presents. We also got my parents on the web cam, so they could see them open presents, too. :)
