Reading the story before the presents...
So, for those who don't know, this is M's oldest brother and his wife.
Wiating for Poppy to give the word that the next present could be opened.
Em is still the kid who can have unopened presents sitting around her and she feels the need to stop and play with the first present she has opened. :-)
The boys got some pretty neat transformers...this was a poster Uncle Jared made.
Once a year, we get to go to Knotts Berry Farm for free and so we decided to all go together.
At least the right one is flying!
We went to lots of shows. The girls are at an age where they actually like watching performances and this makes parks so much more interesting! I know Em doesn't look like she is having fun but she is watching the show directly below her.
The most well-done show was definitely "Snoopy On-Ice"...and ice skating show. It took K all of ten minutes to ask me if we could try ice skating.
This is going to crack me up for the rest of my life...look at J's face! Ha ha! And the best part? K loves to hug him, all the time.
K's one meltdown - when she didn't get into the pink hat.
After that, we went for some food, I mean sugar. Amazingly, they found a second wind. Yes, that is a funnel cake topped with fruit and a massive pile of ice cream.
We did a lot of waiting for shows, and lines, and food, and well, everything. I was really pleased with how they girls did, easily their best so far.
I am kind of shocked. I have never seen this many pics of me in any post, ever.
The Wild West show was very funny and very entertaining, but the gun shots were a bit on the loud side.
My birthday is New Year's Eve and Jamie's is the second, so we always celebrate together. We opted out of another cake and used some of the mass quantities of sweets we already had to create a cake.
The trick was blowing out only my candle.
Well, I hope you have a wonderful new year!!! God Bless!
