2012 Highlight Reel Part 4

We started December seeing Christmas Lights and visiting with Santa! Daddy finally came home!!! Just in time to graduate! So our 2 years of Graduate school turned into 3 and a half, but we are just excited to be done! So proud of my hubby for persevering, and so proud of my beautiful children who have been so patient while Daddy worked, went to school and did homework, they were rockstars! It was a nice ceremony, Guy Fieri recieved and honorary degree so that was fun to see him and hear from him. They did the graduate students first so we skipped out early and headed to Famous Daves to celebrate! Yea we are done!!! Who doesn't love nachos at graduation?!? Addy had enough excitement for all of us! It was Christmas Hat day at school, so the kids dressed to match their hats! I bought Addy a winter hat, he wore it all the time because our house was freezing at night. He is so darn cute! Our Christmas outfits for Church! We hung out with baby brother! Christmas Eve we went to My parents. They got the kids scooters!!! They could not have been more excited!!! My sisters bought all of us girls super fancy outfits for when we play Just Dance! Christmas Jammies!!!! Christmas morning brought lots of fun new toys including tablets for the kids! They couldn't believe Santa brought them! We had a great day as a family. We went and saw Parental Guidance, Addy slept through the whole thing. The theatre was packed! We had an ugly sweater contest at our Family Christmas Dinner when my brother and his family were in town. Prince won and I came in Second! It was a lot of fun! So this brings us to the end of 2012.

2012 Highlight Reel Part 3

Prince left on Thanksgiving day to go to Nigeria for his moms memorial service. So began my 3 weeks with 3 kids and a lot of help from my family. My grandparents were here for Thanksgiving it was a lot of fun having them here. Samarrah lost both of her top teeth on Thanksgiving, there was a lot of drama involved but eventually she let us pull them out, although they probably could have just fallen out by themselves. One of my favorite girls was in town and were we able to catch up. love her! We had fun taking pictures of our favorite little guy. The leaves all fell off of Grandmas tree and we had a good old leaf fight, we ambushed grandma when she got home! We went ice skating at Lake Las Vegas! Samarrah had been wanting to go forever, and I was nervous that they would think it was too hard, but they both did great! They have natural ice skating ability! It was a lot of fun!
