Christmas Fun!

I know! I know! It has been forever! Life is so crazy busy that I feel like I have less time to do the things I love...like blogging! I am really going to try to focus on it more as well as the other things that I have stopped doing! Poor little Addie...her scrapbooks and baby book from her first year aren't even finished yet! Zach's was finished and on display at his first birthday party! Amazing how drastic life changes with two! I have promised myself to get better :)

So Christmas was a blast this year! Zach was totally into it and LOVED all the festivities and presents! We did our traditional holiday gathering with our Urban side of the family and all the kids made gingerbread houses! It was so much fun! Christmas Eve was spent with my side of the family playing games...more gingerbread houses...and of course our family tradition of making Jesus his birthday cake! This year the kids picked cupcakes to serve! They were also very excited about leaving Santa his cookies and milk and of course carrots for the reindeer! Zach really got a kick out of this in the morning we he woke up to find the food missing and the carrots half eaten! It was a wonderful time celebrating with family!

Getting our cupcakes ready!

Santa came to visit us twice! Zach was so lucky!

It just doesn't get any cuter than this!

Grandparent's Day!

Today was such a fantastic day! We celebrated Zach's 2nd Grandparent's Day at his preschool! I feel so blessed that he has both sets of his grandparents in his life who love him and enjoy spending time with him!

Addie Bug had a great time at Grandparent's Day too!
Super involved in circle time!

Zach's Class job this week was "Flag Helper" so here he is holding the flag during circle time!
You can see, he takes this job seriously!

Participating!

Thank You Granna, Grandad, Nona and Poppop
for making this day so wonderful for our sweet little
Zachary!

Happy Halloween!

We had such a great time trick or treating last night! Zach and Addison both loved it! Addison would walk up to all the doors and say Trick-or-Treat! It was so stinking cute!

My sweet Minnie Mouse and handsome Captain Hook!

She loved it!

Zach's Fall Field Trip!

Zach had his fall field trip to Papa John's again this year! He had so much fun with his Best Buddies Bennet and Carter!

Granna's New Ride!

So...Zach is obsessed with driving!  He will sit in anyone's car and just drive!  Needless to say, when Granna got this newbie...Zach was beside himself!

He is fascinated at the fact that he can touch one button and the back door will open and shut!

Little Addie following in her brothers footsteps!

Back to School!

Today was such an exciting day! Zachary went back to school and started his second year of preschool in his new 3 year old class! He was so happy to be reunited with his friends! I can't believe he is already beginning year two! Time is going by too quickly!

Trying to put his arm around Addie!

Waiting patiently for his friends to arrive!

Then his girlfriend Gianna arrives!

In they go!

Inside he found Bennet and the two are already busy at work!

My Little Troopers!

We have had a fantastic week so far at the beach! The kids have been amazing! Little troopers...napping everywhere and allowing us to fit in all the fun stuff! Addison is taking full advantage of sleeping in as she did not rise until 10:00 this morning! Zach is doing a little better...7:30 is actually sleeping in for him too!

We have enjoyed the beach, the pool and Zach's favorite...all the rides on the boardwalk! I can't believe we are half way through the week already!

And then Zach being silly!
