Waterpark fun

So this is my second attempt to this blog post. I wrote one yesterday and for some reason it didn't save :(

Winter is here! We've had a few snow falls already. Last week we had one snow fall that made our roads a mess! It took me 6 hours to get home from work! 

After a week like that, we were looking forward to a mini family getaway on the weekend. 

We headed to Niagara Falls for some waterpark fun! 

Baby M was going up the stairs and down the kiddie slide. He's such a big boy!! 

They both had a blast! It was nice to be in a water park when it was a cold snowy day outside! 

After a fun filled afternoon at the waterpark we headed baby to the hotel to wash up and head out for dinner and game night! 

RainForest Cafe! Yum! Ok can I say one thing, the food portions are huge. We were stuffed! 

The kids love the RainForest Cafe. The little storms that happen while we are having dinner. 

 
 

We then went to the arcade! 

Little k was soo excited! He loved the Jurassic park and ghost busters games the most. 

We also did mini putt! Little k and DH getting competitive with eachother was the cutest thing. While baby M threw the golf balls all over haha! 

 

 

 
 

 
 

Once we were all gamed out we went to the car and drove through Niagara Falls to see the decor and lights.

 

Perfect ending to our family date day! 

We went back to the hotel and changed to our pj's, watched a movie and we all fell asleep. The kids were exhausted from a fun busy day! 

 2 more days till Christmas Eve!!!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

Santa's House

Christmassy things like Elf on the Shelf! 

Little K wakes up eager to find Elfolo in a new spot. All over the house and sometimes with treats! 

Baby M goes around looking for him too. 

 He's been so much fun this year! Ha!

This past weekend we went to see Santa! We love going to the tree farm to visit Santa's house. 

Baby M wasn't thrilled tho. 

We went on a wagon pulled by horses. 

We roasted marshmallows 

 

We had a fun afternoon! 

 

 

Only a few weeks left! I am almost done my Christmas shopping. I took a few days off to shop! I love shopping and wrapping gifts close to Christmas time. I love the full Christmassy feel of that!

We also love to give back every year. Some years we do more than other years but we make sure that every year we give back. I'm so happy that little K is learning about this at home, school and church.  He's eager to help and happy to make other kids happy. 

At work we sponsored a family. A family with 2 boys. I'm dropping off the gifts at work tomorrow. They will put everyone's gifts together and deliver it to the family.

Every little bit helps. If we all give a little, that makes a lot! We hope to bring them big smiles this Christmas.

Taking everything out of the kitchen cabinets. Especially bags. Bags are fun

Cookies are my favorite! 

Santa is pretty cool too

Playing with my brother is my favorite too.

You learn so much from your brother and you make your brother laugh soo much! 

 You love hugging and kissing all of us and we do our part in smothering you! 

New words are coming through.

And some made up words too but they have a meaning to you! Ha! You will make sure we understand you. 

Oh, you hate hearing the word NO! :( 

You are full of energy! You are a busy little boy. You have the sweetest laugh and cuddly personality. You love being in the middle of it all!

 You are learning new things everyday! We love you so so much!

SK things and weekend things

Mr 5 year old is one sweet boy! How is he mine! He amazes me everyday with the words that flow out of his mouth! 

This week we had parent teacher interview and we were so proud hearing his teachers talk all about him. 

We had to write a message of love on a ribbon for an art project they are working on. Reach for the Stars! We love you to the moon and back! Love mommy, daddy and baby Mikey! He was had the biggest smile on his face. 

After the parent teacher interview, we went Black Friday shopping! Mr K was a perfect little shopper.

 
 

Today at mass he went on his own to the kids class. He came back so excited rehearsing what he learned. 

We are soo excited for Christmas! Can you tell! 

Elf on the shelf has been hoping around leaving gifts on the weekends! 

 

 

We had a fun weekend! 

The boys love practicing the piano. 

With the cold weather here, we will have more time to practice! 

We had a fun birthday party for a baby cousin! 

 

Mikey loved Santa! 

 

 At work we sponsored a family and we are all pitching in for gifts.  The family of 2 boys really hit a soft spot for me. I've been discussing it with little k, letting him in on what we will be doing to help give them a wonderful Christmas. He understands fully and I'm so happy to share this tradition with our kids. 

He is excited to help.

Hope you all had a great weekend!
