Dallas World Aquarium and Victoria's doll

We took the kids to Dallas World Aquarium. This was Victoria's first trip there since she has become so mobile. She wanted out of her stroller and was trying to crawl into the aquarium! She was hiking her leg up, intending to scale the glass wall into the shark tank! We went outside to the Penguin exhibit, and she was hiking her leg up trying to get into the penguin exhibit! She has no fear! She is a climber, into everything! We all had a great time! They love the aquarium!

Victoria is very sweet with her doll. She carries her doll around and hugs and loves on it, so sweet. Very maternal :-). Let's hope we survive her upbringing!

Christmas and Aidan's Birthday

Nana and Papa, and Aunt Mindy, Uncle Shawn, Aidan, and Ainsley came to celebrate Christmas with us! We all had a great time! We went to church on Christmas Eve with the kids, even Aidan, and they were all so good! It was so cute. I told Kaden that it was time to pray, so he slapped his hands together and started praying so earnestly. Upon seeing Kaden, Aidan copied him and did the same! So cute! We opened our family presents on Christmas Eve, as is our tradition, and Santa came Christmas morning.

Kaden and Colin loved their Star Wars toys. Katharine like her doll house, and Victoria was playing with whatever anyone else got! We all got marshmellow guns, and marshmellows were flying everywhere! It was fine because they were edible for Victoria!

Aidan had his birthday party at Gattitown. What fun! They all love the bumper cars, including daddy and uncle shawn! They all won stuffed animals from the water shooting game :-). It was a good time. They miss cousin Aidan so much when he goes home!
