Playdate

Since Daddy is back to work, we decided to go hang out with Zoe and Logan.  Emery even braved the tunnel!

We formed a rock band.

We also had a little quiet time while I read a story to Logan.

Pickle Pizza

I didn't want cheese pizza, so I cut up a couple pickles and made myself some pickle pizza.  YUM!

Happy New Year!

Late yesterday morning, Mommy and Daddy thought it would be fun to get a hotel room to watch the ISU bowl game and then to get some swimming in.  The game started off fun to watch, but well...it went downhill after half time.

Then, we hit up the swimming pool.  We had a great time swimming around for over an hour!

After swimming, we crawled into bed and continued watching Star Wars - The Empire Strikes Back.

This morning, we ate breakfast and headed back down for some more swim time, before we had to check out of our room.

It was such a long car trip from the hotel to our house, 0.7 miles, that Emery fell asleep.  Who knew that our parents could be so wild and crazy?

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo

We got this AWESOME train table for Christmas.

I enjoy running around with the volcano on my train engineer hat on my head saying, "Chugga Chugga, Choo Choo!"

Kitty Kisses

Most of the time, I'm pulling Bandit around the room by his tail.  HOWEVER, I am starting to figure out that it is more fun to give him kitty kisses!  I don't know why he doesn't always want to give me one.

Folloing In My Brothers Costumes.

 
I have to keep up with my brothers.  They are running around in their dinosaur costumes, so I brought this costume to Daddy for me to wear.  It's a little big, but it's so much fun to be able to keep up with Aiden and Parker.

The Advent Book

Grandma Jo came down to watch us and she read us The Advent Book even though it was the day after Christmas.  She was very impressed with how much of the story we could recite.  We read part of this book every night during advent.  We HIGHLY recommend this book to everyone!

Christmas at Home

 
Emery just loved all the things in the stockings that he could load up with and walk around with.

Aiden decked out in as much superhero stuff as he was given.

YEA! Remote Controlled Cars!

How does this toy work?

I guess we could have just given Aiden a box of jars for him to play with in his kitchen.

WOW...we really sure know how to open presents and leave a mess.

Good thing there is room out in the entryway to run our new cars!

Cookies for Santa

Daddy even got in on decorating our cookies for Santa this year.

This is my favorite cookie that I decorated.

Aiden couldn't pick just one, so he laid out 4.

Mommy forgot to tell me not to eat the "extra" sprinkles off of my plate.  I REALLY like my sprinkles!

I think Santa will bring us some wonderful presents after he sees the delicious cookies we made and decorated for him.  How will we ever pick which ones to leave out for him?

Fegley Christmas

It's a good thing that Great Grandpa Fegley brought his jungle gym with him.  Holden showed us all of his new tricks!

It can't be a Fegley Christmas without some Christmas jigglers.  We helped Allison get them all out on the plate.

Yep, we really should have only given boxes for Christmas.

Look, this one even fits 2 boys!

Great Grandpa and Great Grandma Fegley with  their grand kids (except Peter who wasn't able to make it this year) and great grand children.  We've doubled in size in the last few years!

Early Present

Daddy worked a half day at the office and then worked "on call" from home during the afternoon so he could hang out with Mommy's side of the family.  Mommy thought that he should get an early Christmas present from her since it was Sunday after all.  Emery thought he should help.

Now, Daddy can be dressed a little more casual for the Fegley Christmas this afternoon!

Broadston Christmas

Yep, it's time to get all the presents from under the tree!  Daddy has to work, but the Broadstons wouldn't let that stop Christmas. They all came to our house.

Perhaps we should have only given boxes instead of toys? 

At least the bows are good for something.

Emery wasn't feeling the greatest, but at least Grandma Jo was able to keep him happy.

Aiden and his new binoculars.

Mindy and Neil made it back to celebrate.

Seriously, he says he wasn't sneaking any cookies.

Now we can play Angry birds in 3d!

Nexus

Since we couldn't travel to Waterville for Christmas this year, Papa and GG sent us our family present.  We are just a little excited....

Snow

We had green grass yesterday, but today we have 13 inches of snow.

We decided to get together and have a "hot" meeting in front of the fireplace - just like Daddy would do at work, right?

 
We got to go out and help Daddy and play (mostly play)!  Emery really wanted to come out with us, but with the tempature below zero, it was much to cold.  It's too bad Daddy had to work from home the rest of the day.

Straw

We broke out some Lucky Charms for breakfast, because it is out first snow day.  I, also, decided to break out the straws!

Snow Day

I am so happy for my first snow day; Aiden and Parker get to stay home and play with me ALL day!

Mommy

So, we seem to fight over who gets to sit with Mommy.  Whichever one of us is there first, the other one instantly comes over and cries until Mommy makes room for both.  Since we are getting so big, Mommy says it's a good thing that Aiden doesn't mind sitting with Daddy!
