Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope Santa was good to you all. The kids love all the gifts from everyone. Thank you. We just have to figure out were to put all the new toys.

Cookie Day a family tradition.

We all had so much fun making cookies. I think we might have made to many. Drew loved helping grandma mix the dough. The girls liked eating the chocolate kisses.

Our kids enjoying all the snow

The boy's enjoying the cold weather. (They are both inside on the bed)

The kids liked playing on there swing set.

It is still snowing here. The snow started yesterday and has not quit. The weather Channel says 5-6 inches today. I wonder if Sofia will have school tomorrow.

Busy Weekend

Our family getting the Christmas tree.

The Christmas parade. We had a great time with all of our friends.

My moms and Sister with Sofia watching Tangled. Which was a very good movie. Sofia did cry twice during the movie. She also wanted to leave.

Daddy and Sofia watching the play. Which she LOVED.

We have been very busy. Saturday we went and cut down our Christmas tree. That night our town had the Christmas parade. Sunday us girls went to the see the movie Tangled. Monday we didn't have anything planned. On Tuesday night we took Sofia to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway. The play was very very good. Sofia was so happy, she has been talking about it all day. We don't have anything planned for this weekend. Which is nice we need a few down days.

Getting Ready for Christmas

We put our first Christmas decorations up. This weekend we are going to get our Christmas tree and put up the rest of the decorations. We are hoping for snow on Saturday, so we can go out and play in it.

Thanksgiving Day

Happy Thanksgiving to eveyone. I hope you all had a wonderful day. The kids enjoyed helping grandma make dinner. We enjoyed having eveyone over. We are so blessed and thankful for our family.

Do you know what happened 4 years ago today?

This is Sofia on her way home. We landed in Chicago with Sofia 4 years ago today. Wow, our live has changed so much in such a short time. I really think as I get older time goes by faster. Does anyone else agree? We are so blessed to have such wonderful children.

Happy Halloween

Princess Sofia

Drew with his friend Kenzie. They love playing together. Drew was such a gentleman and took her hand and walked all the way around the block.

We had a wonderful day. We went shopping for the kids. Then we took them over to Grandma and Grandpa's T house. They got lots of candy. We didn't even open the 3 bags we bought at the store today. We have so much candy left over. I wonder what we will do with it all.

Sofia loved that she had 2 customs. We bought her the Mulan one and Grandma got her the sleeping beauty one. She had asked grandma for it months ago, thank you. The girls will both have beautiful dress up clothes to play with. Drew loved his woody custom. We can't wait until Tuesday when toy story 3 comes out. That was Drew's first movie at the theaters.

Sofia's Gotcha Day

Princess Sofia.

Four years ago today, Sofia was placed in our arms. Wow how time flies. Sofia had a mini concert at school today, she did great. We remember to bring the video camera. She always likes seeing herself on TV. I really do need to us it more often. After school we took her to her favorite store (Can you guess which one) Target. We have always gotten the kids something for our forever day. Sofia picked out a book, candy, and a DVD. Tonight we told her she got to pick dinner. She picked Pizza Ranch. Which is kinda funny we had pizza in China. I think every year she has picked Pizza, I guess we have made it a tradition to eat pizza on Gotcha Day. We are so very Blessed to have her in our lives. We love you Princess Sofia. We also went to the Dells this week, this is another tradition. Here are some of the pictures from the Dells, and her concert.

Trunk or Treat with FCC

The group picture..... As the kids get older the group picture gets better!

Tonight our local FCC had a trunk or treat party. Sofia and Drew loved seeing all the other kids. Sofia was Mulan and Drew was Woody. It was so cooled they had to wear there coats. They got lots and lots of candy. While they are in bed, we are going through the candy to see what we want for ourselves. Sofia is in her bed saying "Trick or Treat". Tomorrow she has a mini concert at her preschool.

Chusoek Celebration

The kids really liked the microphones.

This past weekend we had a wonderful dinner to celebrate Chusoek. The food was so good. The boys were all so cute in there hanbok. What a great way to honor Drew's culture. This was our second time getting together for Chusoek. I hope we will continue this for many years. Thank you everyone. We had a great time.

Warm Weather Fun

The weather has been so nice. On Monday, went went to the park to take some fall pictures of the kids. They turned out great. I only wish I could get the kids to smile. I would love to go back and try again. After dinner, Grandma and I took the kids over to the school to play. Drew was loving all the grandma time. If you asks him "Drew are you a grandma's Boy" he says "yes".

Today, we went to the apple orchard. Drew got to ride the pony's for the first time. Oh boy did he LOVE it. He was petting the horse while riding, he showed me his tail and ears. It was so cute to see him so excited.
