HELLO 2012!!

Good bye 2011.  

You brought us a sweet baby girl and we love her with all our hearts.  Holland's birth was the best part of 2011.

We ended 2011 with a trip to the Children's Museum.  It was super crowded but the girls had a great time and were worn out when we left.

They had a parade with a New Orleans style band that went throughout the museum.

After the crowd thinned out we let the girls play a little.  First stop was the grocery store.  London loves this because she gets to be the cashier! Kinley had a ball loading her basket with food and getting to 'shop.'

Next stop was the vet center.  This was what London wanted to do the most. She lucked out and got a cat to care for.

A quick play time in the ambulance.  

We headed outside and the girls played with the water activiteis.  They did pretty good staying dry.... well, they weren't soaked!

Kinley found the tea set.  She loves having tea parties

a little ball pit.

The museum had lots of New Years Eve themed activities.  One was to make party hats.  The girls loved coloring, gluing, and decorating their paper sack hats.

London is such a little climber.  She zipped right along the transverse rock wall.

We had a late lunch at McDonalds then went to Matt's office to check out the new office space.  I'm so glad noone was there because our girls loved running down the long halls and in and out of empty offices.

It was almost dark when we got home so London was ready to do sparklers.  I had seen the neat pics on pinterest of people spelling out words with sparklers..... we tried it but only got swirly sparkler pics.  I wish we had a few more sparklers, I think we could have figured out the whole sparkler word picture thing.  

The girls stayed up till midnight and we toasted in the new year with sparkling grape juice! 

We spent New Years Day at home doing nothing.  It was good to have the whole day to rest and get ready for the week ahead.  London starts back to school on Wednesday.  I'm ready to get back to having a schedule.  Kinley has missed too many naps since London has been out of school.  We will miss her being home all day but I know she will be glad to be back in school and see her friends.
