Christmas
Aidan had a good day at Yaya and Popsi's. He's been pointing out that castle every time he sees it!

Cecelia got a pretty pink bathrobe and slippers. She's been talking about these too. Now she's just like mommy.

Here's my latest quilt project. Although I haven't gotten much done on it, here's the top finished and I chalked out the quilting pattern I'm going to try. I've gotten started but I've got some seam-ripping to do already. Damn-it. Merry Christmas mom and dad. You can have it as soon as I've finished it.

I caught Conner being silly with the camera.

Conner and Isla being super cute together! He kept hugging her.

The ladies all dressed up for Christmas mass.

Here's the three of them together. They're so cute!

Christmas morning, Uncle Chuck is by far the winner! He's hugging a box. Aidan is still sleeping with this thing by his bed and loves it so much.

All the Ballentine kids together and mostly smiling. They set up the chairs and got all in a line by themselves. I just picked up the camera.

Aidan wore himself out one day. This was around 6pm one night. He napped the rest of the evening on the couch and then went to bed.

John getting some snuggle time in.

We hit the children's museum again. Here's the kids hanging out with Yoda!

Cecelia hanging out at Barbie's desk!

And Barbie's chair. She says she wants one of these for her room. Shocking.

I caught Debbie and Shelby coming down the slide.

Cecelia tried out the rock climbing wall. I'm so proud of her!


Aidan wanted to ride on the carousel. Cecelia and Shelby had already rode so John and daddy escorted Aidan. Look at John's face. I think he's more excited than Aidan.

Aidan feeling the love after we got back home.

This was the snow tonight. It was so pretty coming down. Plus there's already a ton on the ground. I love it!

A good boy moment. Aidan and daddy playing Mario Brothers on the tv. It was pretty cute.
