KU Basketball

Each year, we try to take Buddy to a KU basketball game or two.

We usually visit the big trophy we won about 6 weeks after he was born!  We explain how we hope THIS year that we will win it again.  So far, it hasn't happened again, but we hope it will be THIS year!!

We also try to visit Big Jay!  We made it to the game right before Christmas, so it was neat to see everyone in the holiday spirit (including the Jayhawk with his Santa hat)!  The guy in yellow kept photo bombing our pictures.

Holiday Party 2013

Daddy's work has a holiday party at the movie theater every year. We decided to try the twins out on the movie this year!

Getting ready at home...

Not sure about what his shirt says...  We'll see in a few days!

They have a balloon lady and tattoo people.  The kids each got a little tattoo and santa balloon hat!

All lined up to see Frozen.  The twins made it through about half of the movie so not bad!

Elf Antics

Our elf has been up to some goofy things lately. Buddy named him Spike this year.

A little fishing...  He made a pole out of a q-tip and some dental floss.

Teepeeing our tree...

A little bubble bath... The bubbles are actually marshmallow bits.

He has also been found eating M&M's out of the bag...

Black Friday

I didn't take any pics at Thanksgiving this year!  We had a low key turkey day.  We visited Daddy's side at Aunt Jodi's and went to Mommy's parents in the evening.  Thanksgiving was Grandpa Blackie's birthday, and Black Friday was Grandma Bailey's birthday.  So, we did some celebrating both days for those 2 special people!

Our big day over Thanksgiving break is always Black Friday.  We do some shopping, but our favorite part is going to Crown Center.

We got all 3 kids to pose for a picture with the penguin!  This is the first picture I have of my kids with a character and not any other trusting adults (grandparents, Mommy, Daddy, etc) in it!  Yay!  I'm hoping this is a sign for good group pictures at Disney World next summer!

Buddy loves to watch Santa come in on his sleigh.

We got super close this year!  He shook Buddy's hand!  I think he is one of the best looking Santa's around.

We also visited Bass Pro for their Winter Wonderland.  Buddy got to officially sit on Santa's lap and tell him he wanted a BB gun.  If you have a Bass Pro near you, I recommend visiting this time of year.  You get free pictures with Santa, and they have tons of little activities for kids.  Sissy loved the carousel!  She kept saying "Ride da deer! Ride da deer!"
