Mia's rough day

Well, here is her lovely shiner. I am sure it will be even prettier tomorrow. Plus, she pulled her bow out of her hair and ate a chocolate cookie. Looking good!

Mia's First ER Visit

Well, she finally did it. After months of climbing on EVERYTHING, Mia fell off the kitchen chair and hit her head and had to go to the ER. She is okay and everything seems to be fine. She is just pretty whiny and pitiful today. She is going to have a nice black eye and bruise for Christmas, though. I'll have to post a pic later! She was trying to get to Bryce's crayons and just tumbled right off and landed on her head. Pretty scary!

Other than that excitement, things have been pretty good. We have been enjoying the nice weather and have gone to the park several times this week to feed the ducks. Brye also got to go ride a horse that some of his friends just bought. He thought that was cool. We were going to go to the park today with friends, but Mia changed those plans. Other than that, we have gone to look at Christmas lights and went to a family Christmas party. Bryce is very excited for Christmas and has done his shopping. My friend took him to buy presents for us and he bought for me, Ryan and the dog, Koko, but not Mia because she is "too little". Nice.

We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Breakfast with Santa

We went to Breakfast with Santa at our church on Saturday and the kids had a great time. They had pancakes, made several Christmas crafts, and got to play on the playground. Crazy 80 degree weather in December! Bryce wanted to see Santa, but did not want to sit in his lap. He agreed only to standing by him. Mia wanted nothing to do with Santa. She practically crawled out of Ryan's arms trying to get away so we didn't really get a good pic of her. I felt bad trying considering before I could even move my arm out of the pic she was hysterical. Oh, well- maybe next year! Bryce went to a Christmas party today that his reading teacher had for her class. He made baggies for his friends with Christmas treats. They had chocloate donuts, candy, cookies, and cupcakes all at 9:30 this morning. Wonderful :)

December is here!

The kids are having fun getting ready for Christmas. We went to the city's tree lighting and parade. We also went to a Christmas tree farm to get our tree. Bryce liked cutting down the tree, but didn't enjoy looking for the "perfect" tree. Not that patient. I asked him if he wanted to be in the church children's pageant and told him they needed people to be animals. His response was that they also needed people to watch. So... I guess we will go watch!

Mia is walking and climbing everywhere. Another climber to scare me! She climbs over the baby gate and goes upstairs, climbs on the kitchen table and over everything.
