Merry Christmas!

I can't believe we are only 6 days out from Christmas. So exciting to be able to spend the next few days with family! We will visit Great Grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and Grandmas! This past week we were able to visit Crown Center with Mylee and Evie to see the lights and of course to visit Santa in crayola land! The girls had so much fun playing on the crayon slides and tunnels. When it came time to see Santa, Mylee cried alot for a bit but then she saw that her sister wasn't crying at all on Santa's lap, so she calmed down enough to stand next to him for a picture and to talk with him for a minute. She also gave him a high five as well. Evie whimpered for just a minute and then stopped to watch what was going on with Mylee. So she was okay on his lap but we made it through none the less with a pretty decent picture!

We also played a little bit at Crown Center inside as well as outside. We all had lots of fun as you can tell by the cherub faces you see in the above pictures.



We also celebrated Aaron's 30th birthday on Sunday the 16th! We were able to pull off a surprise party very well. However, anyone that knows how clueless Aaron is to details, this may not surprise you. He had not a clue that we were scheming together a party! I had our former next door neighbor come and perform his magic show and was very impressed by his talent. We would have had a longer show but his music wasn't working on our system at church so he had to cut about half of it out. Oh well! I was still very impressed by what we did get to see. I had Feliz Cumpleanos written on his cake which is Happy Birthday in Spanish. It was a very wonderful time spent with friends and family. I think it is funny he just happened to be wearing a sweatshirt that has the number 30 on it that night!
