The perks...

of being too little to go to school...

you get to sample Mommy's sweet creations

Yummy!

Welcome Dexter:

this is our new kitty...

he's 11 months old and super sweet

the kids LOVE him...

Misiu is even starting to come around, which is huge!

Fun in the snow!

Wheee!

Are we ready yet?

Who wants to go sledding?

Good times

Poor Naomi didn't enjoy the sleigh ride as much as the rest...

maybe next year will be more fun for her.

Christmas 2011

This pic was supposed to be the last pic but I'm having user difficulties with blogger tonight. I guess you'll just have to imagine it as the last pic. ;-)

Daddy caught Santa sneaking into the fireplace...

and leaving presents... THANK YOU SANTA!

Merry Christmas Daddy

Wow!

It took us a while to get through all of these. Mikey's favorite gift this year was his Batman Cave. Naomi's favorite was her air popper (a hit with both kids).

New socks are a X-mas must!

Mikey took this picture of Naomi. He gets some of the best pictures...

I think this skill of his just might be worth while cultivating.

After the holidays we went for a weekend to Minneapolis and sure there is great food and shopping but, our favorite was by far the Aquarium in the Mall of America.

Who know... in the basement of the mall is such a wonderful place.

Checking out the jelly fish... cool Mom.

Beautiful

Happy kids= Happy parents

They built the aquarium around you so these

giant manta rays would swim right over your head. Crazy cool!

look out behind you Mikey...

Look Mama!

Shark!

Mesmerized

Take a picture of that Mom... QUICK!

sharks, sharks and more sharks.

Happy New Year!

I have a feeling that 2012 is going to be a great year.
