Holiday Fun in December

Wow I can't believe it's almost Santa time, really the month of December just flew by. The best thing about December is all of the fun things you can do together as a family and we did A LOT of them. I did my best keeping up with our Avent calendar and Jon helped me with moving our Elf Sam around the house.

Here's some pictures of our very fun filled month of December.

Paige drew our Elf Sam a picture

Harlow was so cute running around with this Santa hat.

While the two younger kids napped Paige painted some wooden ornaments for the tree.

When Aiden woke-up from nap it was time to put the star on top of the tree.

It was Aiden's first year getting to put the star on the tree, Paige had done it in previous years.

Our beautiful 9 ft tree

Ever since we went to Great Wolf Lodge the kids have begged to go back so we used some of the holiday funds and surprised them with a one-night visit.

Paige had begged for Clarice so we put more of the holiday funds to good use and took the kids for some fun at Build-A-Bear.

Aiden made a Snow Monster.

I always love watching the hot-air balloons glow

Paige, Aiden and Jon all enjoyed some fun in the snow tubes.

I guess this will be my last Blog post until I share our Christmas with you so let me take this time to wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas.

My Mother's Day Gift...A Great Wolf Lodge Vacation

I have the most priceless gift in the world, my 3 beautiful children

I couldn't have asked for a better Mother's Day gift then spending 2 nights at the Great Wolf Lodge with my family. This hotel has so many fun things to do you can barely get it all in with a 2-night stay.

We spent the majority of our time playing in the huge indoor water park, the kids enjoyed playing the Magi-Quest adventure game, they also enjoyed playing in the arcade, story-time each night was awesome and we got each of the kids a PAW Pass which included some other fun things to-do inside the hotel.

The best part about the room was the 'Kid Kamp' the kids each had a turn sleeping on the top bunk bed and they had their own tv to watch from their beds.

I told Jon we should make this a yearly tradition on Mother's Day weekend because we all had such a good time and it's a great excuse to go back every year.
