Part II Home sweet Home...

Thanksgiving, Mizzou Game, Usher, Swimming, Paradise park, Ducks, Family, Big Brother, FUN TRIP, LOVE!!

Sydney and Dane are quite the frequent flyers due to family living far away. This trip was by far the most enjoyable yet (mind you not all of the 4 hour flights we have been on have been blissful)! Dane climbed right up on Miss Syd's lap mid flight and decided that's where he would be the most comfortable. Miss Syd is the mother hen so she was enjoying every second of this grinning ear to ear!

The mama's and the Dada's had a great day out to the Mizzou game and then to a concert to see Usher. Thanks Nonni and Poppi for playing and having fun with the kids for the day!

Who is the REAL Turkey in this photo??

It is SO great to see how much fun Sydney and Harper have together! I LOVE that they are so close in age and had a ball together!

We got some GREAT news! Harper is going to be a BIG Brother...WOO HOO!! That called for a CELEBRATION!! (shirt says: Guess WHOO has a secret? I'm going to be a big brother Harper)

Uncle Dennis is a huge hunter and Dada loves getting the chance to go duck hunting. The kids thought it was so cool that he brought some of the ducks in. I love that Syd is such a girlie girl but not too girlie that she can't hold a duck:) Dane opted for the one finger touch and Ker "petted" the duck to encourage Harper to touch...ummm...not gonna happen:)

Paradise Park is right by Aunt Ker and U. Brians house. We had a great time playing in the balls, making cookies, story time and they even had a place where you could paint your own face. Nonni even let you paint her face:)

Celebrating an early Christmas at Nonni and Poppi's!

Ker and Brian have a great pool right by their house! What a fun time you all had sliding down the slide and splashing around...

Lee's Summit even had an ice cream shop called Poppy's so on the coldest day we decided to get ice cream...why not???

Home for the holidays...

SUGAR COOKIES, PRESENTS, ZOO, PARK, MUSIC, CAROUSEL, RAMS GAME, FAMILY LOVE, ICING, THANKSGIVING, EARLY CHRISTMAS!

We are so incredibly blessed to have such wonderful family! We spent two weeks in Missouri visiting both family's over Thanksgiving. Here is a look into our fun filled week in St. Louis and Jefferson City! Pictures from Kansas City soon to follow...

AMAZING... Uncle Todd and Tom are very talented with music! Something neither mommy or daddy are very gifted with:) We had so much fun listening and singing along. Syd and Dane you had a ball learning how to play....

I love the above picture of Dane and Grammy! You sat listening to Todd play wonderful Christmas music and would keep dosing off. It was so sweet!

You guys had a GREAT day with Grammy, Momo, Mary and Grandma Marie. You went to the park, made sugar cookies, and had an all around FUN day!!

Not quite sure what Mommy was doing in this picture... While you two had fun mommy and daddy went to the RAMS game with Poppo, Todd and Tom.

Our little Turkey's

Nonni and Poppi sent a box of surprises in the mail for Thanksgiving. A couple of the fun items were these masks. Sydney couldn't wait to put it on. Dane on the other hand...

...was not a huge fan of wearing the mask. But I was able to snap this one photo:)

Welcome Home Daddy!

Dada went on a short trip to England! We are SO blessed to have such a good Dada. Even with a 9 hour time change he talked to you twice a day. Insisting we wake him in the middle of the night to chat. He can't stand being away from you two! He even skyped everyday so we could see him. Who couldn't resist you two....

We decided Dada would like a little "surprise" when he got home! There was an empty cranberry juice container sitting out and Sydney thought it would be perfect to turn into a little man for daddy! So that is what we did...

Here is our little man and we thought he needed something in his hands. SO we headed out to pick out balloons. I said they could pick out 3 (one for syd, dane and dada). The first one they picked was "its a boy". I didn't think dada would think that was too funny so Happy Birthday it was with princess and balls:)

We LOVE having our daddy at home!
