Time has definitely flown by...and we have enjoyed every minute of it!!

We love you Maddie Paige!!

Maddie is 3!!!

Madison turned the big 3 on January 2nd. Pretty sure the kids thought it was Christmas again as we opened presents before 7am--it was a game day and John had to work.

Jack likes the kitchen too.

Opening presents--Jack thought he should open one also.

Maddie and I went to Toys r Us.

Maddie did not want a big cake...just this 1 cupcake!

-----

Maddie and I also headed for the hockey game that night. We just didn't quite make it. Maddie had an upset tummy and got sick just as I was exiting for the rink...so we headed home. Not the ending we were hoping for...

Santa came!!!

Discovering Santa did come and brought them a 5 in 1 sports center.

"Santa brought me some snacks!!"

Checking out all our presents. I had kept all the presents that were sent to us hidden so they wouldn't all be opened before Christmas. This was the first time Maddie had seen them all in one spot. We were spoiled by everyone!!

Just last year he was sleeping during the opening of presents.

Lots of gifts!!

Thanks everyone!!

Christmas Eve

I had to work Christmas Eve but we took some time to decorate cookies for Santa.

Maddie carefully placing the gumdrops....
then ate some sprinkles.
------
Jack on the other hand...

tried to eat the cookie before we started decorating,

pulled all the gumdrops off and ate them,

enjoyed some sprinkles too.

This year we left 'kool juice' for Santa (one of our favorites) and carrots for Santa's reindeer.

We tracked Santa before heading to bed.
