Santa Claus is coming to town

The Santa Clause parade was this past weekend! 

Kristian was amazed at all the floats and marching bands. Yelling out wow!!! As they passed sears threw him teddy bears and they kept throwing them at him haha, he had about 5! We shared with the other kids around. 

We had a great time. My little niece grabbed a lot of attention begging for hugs and high fives from all the characters passing by. Haha

After the parade we went for a sushi lunch! Little k loves cucumber rolls. 

Christmas is coming quick! Tonight I'll gather all the Christmas decor and slowly start decorating the house. 

Our Elf on the shelf is ready to come out too! 

Fun at the aquarium!

Saturday we went to Ripley's Aquarium! 

The line was long! Good thing it wasn't too cold and we had fun as we waited to get in. 

Kristian kept yelling fishes fishes!!! And, oh wow! Wow!!! He just cracks us up! 

We had so much fun at the aquarium and ended the day with a late lunch downtown. Although little K was pooped from all the amazing new things he just saw! So he slept through lunch. 

Elmo birthday party

This weekend was little K's Elmo party! 

Loot bags filled with a snack bowl, coloring book, Mabel's personalized labels! Crayons and gold fish! 

It was my first time making cupcake cones and they were a big hit with little K!

My sister made the other Elmo cupcakes! 

We had lots of food and sweets! 

Kristian loved that Elmo and his friends  all celebrating with him! 

Kristian received so many amazing gifts! He loved every single one of them and has been playing with all his new toys all day today! He has the best family and friends! 

Then once the kids were in bed, the party continued with the adults till 2am ha! 

Halloween and 2 year doctor checkup

Halloween was so much fun this year. The kids loved trick or treating and my street was full of haunted houses! 

Kristian had so much fun going door to door. 

Yesterday we had his 2 year check up. Doc was happy to see K and said he looks great. I asked a lot of questions when it comes to food and play and potty training and his answers left me comfortable and sure of all that I am doing for my little boy. 

He gave the doctor a high five when we left and was happy to leave haha no needles at this appt so all was good! 

Today is kristians party! So we are running around picking up the cake and decor! 

And my cupcake cones are coming along! 

Baby boy is 2!

Little K is 2!!!! 

Yesterday we had family over for cake and to celebrate our sweet little boy's birthday! 

Really 2! 2 years flew by! 

At 2 years old little K weighs 23lbs and we just started size 5 diapers and soon will begin potty training!

He still loves his fruits and veggies but recently chocolate has made its way in to the list of fave foods ha!

He is my husbands mini man. He wants to copy and be just like dad! It's soo cute.

He amazes me everyday! 

His vocabulary is exploding and he repeats everything... Everything! We say.

Yesterday was party 1 of 2 for this crazy little boy.

Cake was yummy! 

Fun with family 

They traded boots. Ha! 

Lots of toys! 

Cars cars cars and planes! 

This weekend will be the kids Elmo party. Can't wait! 

Fall weekend and pumpkin painting.

My husband had some work to do on our house this weekend before the real cold weather comes. We still had a fun fall weekend.

Breakfast at our new favorite place around the corner. They make the best pancakes! Which of course little K didn't care for but he loved the eggs and bacon. 

Saturday night my husband brought us to a Chinese restaurant downtown that he loves. 

Yummy! And we had fun walking through the rain that evening too! 

My aunt gave us a little pumpkin that needed to be painted. So yesterday we headed to Michaels to buy some paint and brushes and we had so much fun painting it! 

PuKins!! As little k says it haha. Wish we had more to paint. It was really fun painting this little pumpkin.
