Melissa's a Big Girl Now!

Melissa has now graduated to a Toddler Bed! She tells me on a daily basis, "Mommy, I like dis bed!" This was her first night sleeping in it. She loves having Baby sleep right next to her!

Since she is now sleeping in a big girl bed, she is helping out with the household chores. This is her new vacuum that she got for Christmas. (it really works!)

Mele Kalikimaka!

Dear Daddy....We Love You, you're the Best! Thank you for all you do for us. We appreciate you!

M&M Chefs!

Mick & Melissa love to "help" Mommy cook. So on rainy days (and we've had a lot of them lately!) we bring out kid friendly food to make. These pictures show how much joy cooking brings them!

Riding a Tractor!

Mick & Melissa love to go to Daddy's work. One of their favorite things to do is to ride the tractors. Before, Mick would go off with Daddy on the tractor and Melissa was perfectly happy to stay with Mommy. Not Any More!!! Melissa is right up there with Mick, and she has to have her turn to drive with Daddy also! They both love it and the whole family has a great time when we get to visit Daddy at work!

Holiday Cheer!

There are so many wonderful events for the kids to enjoy during the holiday season. We sure had tons of fun, we'd like to share some of our joy with you...

Mick & Melissa were pleasantly surprised to ride the "Kaneohe Express" with Santa!!

We got to go bowling with Mick's good friend Taryn. It was Melissa's first time and she loved it. She would pick up the ball and carry it all the way to the stand, put it up there and push it off!

And after a good day of bowling, she had fun re-decorating the "Christmas snow"display at the bowling alley!


At school, we got to make Gingerbread Houses. Mick was so excited.... he actually got to eat candy and Mommy wasn't taking it away!

We went to a Boat Parade with Auntie Maureen & Uncle Toad (Lisa's fam) that was very cool! As you can see by their expressions, the kids had a great time!

Then it got quite cold so we all had to bundle up!
