December 2012

December has to have been one of our favorite months of the year - We did so many fun things - Children's museum with cousin Hank, Dad's Christmas Party where we saw Santa, Bounce U (which we signed up for a year and will be having weekly visits now), We made reindeer cookies, Wes and I went down to Great Grandpa and Grandma Haefeker's and Cousin Jesse's house on the 23rd to see all of Grandpa Weber's side of the family (Shea and Dad stayed home as Shea does not travel long distances well - hopefully next year she can as Wes had so much fun!!).  Christmas Eve with the Weber side was lots of fun and Christmas day with the Turner side was fun as well.


Goofing around with mom and dad:

 

We saw Santa at Dad's Christmas party.  It was lots of fun and they had a large train display that Wes loved.  Neither one cried when we saw Santa but Shea would not set on his lap :)

 

 



 

 

First time making Reindeer Cookies 

 

 

Bounce U - Shea loves the big slide and Wes's favorite is the baseball area:

 

 

 

Daycare Ornaments - This was a big surprise for us - I don't know when Daycare found the time to do this because the pictures were taken on different days than when they were brought home and I think Shea and Wes were at daycare maybe two half days total in the months of November and December - They are awesome though!!  They are also the only ornaments other than balls that we have on the tree.

 

 

 

Sledding - We finally got some snow in December and Shea, Wes, Rob and I had fun playing in the snow and sledding :)

On December 23rd, 2012 Wes and I headed down to Hastings to visit my Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins - We had a great day - but missed seeing Great Grandma Weber as she was sick :(

Christmas morning - Santa came and left the present pictured - we don't have pictures of them opening their other gifts - just video.  Wes received a work bench from Santa and A batman castle and jail and Toy story potatoe heads from Mom and Dad.  Shea recieved a Kitchen from Santa and A dress up mnnie mouse set, and doll accessories from mom and dad.

 Shea and Wes were spoiled with Christmas presents.  Santa brought Shea a Kitchen and Wes a work bench.  I have not heard either of them ask to watch TV since Christmas.  They love to play with their toys.  Wes is addicted to TV.  They are at such a fun age and Rob and I are enjoying every minute of it.  I have had a lot of time at home with them the last two months as it is a slower time of the year for Real Estate (Although the last week has been crazy busy!!).  We are looking forward to a great 2013 and lots more memories.

 

 

Days after Christmas Playing with all their toys!!
