We took the kids to the aquarium last weekend. They loved it! They were excited about everything. There was a touch tank with little sharks and rays...very cool. The second picture is of Spider Crabs. They are the world's largest crabs and the creepiest!
Some holiday highlights. Caleb and Sarah both enjoying a moment with their stockings. Yummy cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. Sarah and G'ma Dee checking out the Christmas tree.
We took the kids bowling for the first time. Wow! What an experience. They both loved it but Caleb didn't understand why it wasn't his turn every time. Sarah even got a strike! 
After her turn on the little dish, Sarah had to pull Mickey around the yard a few times!
Caleb has discovered the art of the "cheesy" photo smile. You don't have to say, "say cheese," all you have to do is have a camera, he'll say cheese and this is what happens.
We didn't have to go far or even very fast to make Sarah smile. The second snow day we just went in circles around the driveway.
Dashing through the snow....both kids loved running back and forth across the front lawn in the snow. Pretty easy entertainment!
The mall Santa. Sarah wasn't too excited about this but of course, Caleb loved it!
Our happy tree decorators! 
Picking out the perfect Christmas tree!
We got really messy decorating Christmas cookies. We love sprinkles! Not to eat, just to pour out! Our friend Jackson and his mom joined us for some good fun! 
Peek a boo
The presents are all mine!
Close up!
So we officially started potty training at our house. We started with Sarah, she showed more of an interest. Caleb is a great cheerleader for her though. He occassionally wants to try but for the most part it's a lot of Hooray for sister! This picture was fun. She's in her plastic pants, a great cow hat (thanks g'ma & papa), her potty watch, playing her very loud recorder!
Okay, I know, silly post. But this was a big deal. I've been really aprehensive about going here! The of course loved it! Caleb savored his, until it was next to nothing, while big sis sucked on hers about half way and then chomped...just like daddy!
5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, no one fell off (thank goodness) and bumped their heads. Caleb and Sarah both loved jumping on the bed with all of their cousins! And the older kids were really great with them!
Caleb hamming it up with daddy. 
There was a little stuffed turkey that gobbled. Sarah loved it. Here Grandma is "getting" her with it.
