Our Annapolis Trip Part 2

We took the kids to Baltimore and went to the Children's Discovery Museum.  It is a touch and feel museum, and they had so much fun!

They went shopping in a kid sized grocery store

They pumped gas for their pretend car

 

and put air in the tires

Sang Karoke (Jaedyn loved this!)

Rode pretend horses

Decorated Ginger Bread "Bricks"

And played!

I know Atlanta has one of these, we might just have to check it out and see if it is as fun as the one in Baltimore was.

Our Annapolis Trip Part 1

Tanner meets his Grandpa Elder.  It was very cute to see Adam's dad with Tanner.  I was able to catch a few cute moments on camera.

MIA?

I've missed a few days of blogging, I've been trying to get caught up with the house, unpacking & helping my Mother In Law get stuff for her house.  However, I am catching up and will be blogging about our trip soon.  We had a fun trip, but are glad to be home.  It is much easier with kids at our own house, no matter how accommodating our host's are.  Tanner is sleeping through the night again, which makes me a happy Mommy.  The kids LOVED playing in Annapolis.  They loved G'ma & G'pa, the snow, their Aunt & Uncles & did I mention the SNOW!   So... Stay Tuned.

(and, I know you will be so proud to see, that I finally changed my "harvest" background.  I know, I totally missed having a Christmas background & I am kind of bummed about it. - There is always next year!)

Christmas in GA

Before we left to Annapolis, we had Christmas dinner & opened presents with Adam's Mom & Step Dad.  They came to GA late Saturday night and we left early Monday.  So we skipped Church on Sunday to have Christmas in GA. 

Landon got "Candy" from Santa

 Santa brought Jaedyn a doll with red hair

Merry Christmas!

We are enjoying our time with Adam's family, we hope you are having a great time with your family!  Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

Airplane!

The kids were so excited to ride on a BIG AIRPLANE to Grandma & Grandpa Elder's house.  The ride was smooth, the kids were well behaved (partly because the were separated by a row!) and Tanner was awesome.  It was a short flight, only about an hour and a half.  We are enjoying the snow & cold weather of Annapolis.

It's almost time...

The tree is decorated.....

We've got presents under the tree....

We are almost ready...

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas this year!

Fort time

Landon loves to watch tv in our room in his "fort".  Very cute if I say so myself.

Mr. Photogenic

I know, I know..  I take too many pictures of this little guy.  I swear, he changes daily.

But how can I resist with such a smiley guy like this?

P.S. We leave today to go visit Adam's Annapolis family - but don't worry, I have post's scheduled!  :)

So grown up

I can't believe how big Jaedyn has gotten, she has lost all her "toddler" looks and now looks like a little girl.  Time just goes by so fast!

This is the best...

Snuggling with two cuties, watching a movie!

Hanging out - Literally

Tanner is such a funny little guy.  Here he is just chilling in his swing.  He would have been content staying like this all night if I didn't "fix" him.

Santa Claus!

After the Holiday Performance, we all lined up in the hall to have a picture taken with Santa

Landon asked Santa for Candy!

Jaedyn asked Santa for a baby doll with red hair.  (what?!?)

Tanner was ready to go home and go to bed.

Holiday Performance @ Pre-School

Yah!!!  This is the first year the kids got to sing to us.  Normally Mr. Jeff plays songs while the kids listen & we watch our kids listening to Mr. Jeff, who sings the same songs year after year.  Oddly enough, the music is exactly the same at our Thanksgiving Feast as well.  Needless to say, I was very excited to see the kids perform this one.  They did a great job, Landon especially had so much fun.

And here is Tanner waiting for the show to start. 

I think this is one of the best smiles I've caught on camera!

Food???

We had our friends over the other night to exchange Christmas gifts since we will both be out of town on Christmas day.  What the "Princess's" don't know is they are getting an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas.  However, I do know this, so I bought them mixes to use in their new fancy/cool ovens.  However, the looks on Princess E's face is priceless as she opens her "food???"

Waiting patiently to exchange gifts

A before shot..

Still excited....

(Watch Princess E's Face)   Wait?? What is this.. 

Jaedyn however is so excited.. Good Job Queen M - she hasn't set this down yet!

Yah, I think she bought me food... ???

Humm...

Both girls now...  Mom??  She got us...  FOOD?

Ok girls, so sorry.  However, I know when you open your Easy Bake Ovens you will be much more excited to use them.  My kiddos however LOVE their presents, thanks guys!
