December crazies- John’s Birthday, Lily’s Birthday, Dance Recital

 

 

I’m getting nuttin for Christmas, Mommy and Daddy are mad. I’m getting nuttin for Christmas cuz I ain’t been nothing but bad.

I spilled the flour all over the kitchen. Somebody snitched on me!

I stole the cups to box with my sister. Somebody snitched on me!

I poked everything Mamma cooked. Somebody snitched on me!

I took apart the dishwasher to spin arm. Somebody snitched on me!

I took over the computer and shut it down. Somebody snitched on me!

I dump every bowl on top of my head. Somebody snitched on me!

I stayed in my pj’s until time to go to bed again! Somebody snitched on me!

Good thing I’d already bought them presents!

 

For John’s Birthday we had a mini party- complete with target shooting for his gift (which was hunting accessories).

His German chocolate cake was delicious…we ate it for days and days and days….

For Lily Bug’s Birthday we went to Monkey Joe’s, a play place. It was great, traffic non withstanding.

This was the best picture I got of the girls. They could care less that I was there.

Leo loved the balloon on Lily’s package. And Jonah loves his powerade. Lily’s party was the perfect start to our Christmas vacation. Hooray for Birthdays!

Christmas at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis

The children’s museum really lets my kids personalities shine through.

Natalie’s dancing side

Their love of magical animals

Leo’s love of all things mechanical and electronic

Sophia’s love of hiding

Natalie’s creative  side

And my kids incessant need for pictures. I have 3 editions of this picture. But we must take another every time we build it at the museum. Sophia loves to pose Natalie too and tell her exactly how to stand and pose. Big Sister plus perfectionist is not always a good combination. I’ve got to channel that energy into being a leader rather than a nag.

At any rate, we love the museum and the time we could spend with Daddy on a busy Saturday.
