Vacation!!! Part 1
The next stop was not only for the kids, but a must see for mom. We went to Dylan's Candy Bar! It's no secret that one day I would like to own my own shop, and I hope it's half as fun as this place was! Miles and miles of candy and fun stuff to see...well worth the walk!
Zoey's Birthday
It was not my best cake because I was away from all my tools...but I think the Ariel cake turned out pretty nice using ziploc bags and toothpicks. Zoey was just thrilled to have a cake, she talked about it all day!
Cooper's First Birthday
Cooper actually put his finger into the cake, unlike his siblings. He ate quite a bit of it, but in classic Cooper fashion, when he has had enough to eat he starts a food fight and throws food onto the floor.

The Cookie Tree
We had tried to start this in our little family a couple years ago when Parker was small....it didn't work out well. Parker was mad that he had to put the cookies on the tree and couldn't just eat them. He didn't want to frost them, he just wanted to lick his fingers. AND if that wasn't enough "candies not for cookies", is what he kept saying while we were trying to stick candy lights on the tree cookies.
So last night we did it with Parker and Zoey with Cooper watching intently. This year it was Zoey's turn to be more interested in the eating then the actual decorating, but at least they are both very excited to decorate the tree with cookies.
Parker also ask if Santa was going to eat these cookies or if he got some of his own. I told him that Santa would get his own fresh plate of cookies on Christmas Eve and ask him what he thought Santa's favorite cookies are. Parker insisted that Chocolate Chip are Santa's favorite...AND that Santa wouldn't mind sharing with him when we made them.
I'm looking forward to finishing our Cookie tree today.....and a very fun and funny Christmas with my crazy kids!

Third times the Charm
Christmas Memories
This was our Christmas card photo this year, and yes, Kyle and I are not in it (see other blog for my thoughts on that :) ) I did think my kids took a great picture this year. They are both so grown up and they let me mess with them a little more this year.

The End of the Fun

Universal Studios
This was the most fun for both kids. They have a whole Curious George play park for the kids. The outside is nothing but water either spraying you, or being dumped on you, but you go inside this building and there are thousands of nerf balls all over the floor that you put into buckets and send through different tubes. You can suck them up with a tube that drops them into a basket that when it gets full enough, drops them on your head; or you can put them into a volcano looking area that will blast them into the air. I think Zoey liked the fact that I put her down and she got to run as far and as long as she wanted to.
Zoey was obsessed with having her own bucket and putting the balls in herself. Heaven help me, she's already into the "don't help me mother" phase of her life!
As most of you know, Spongebob was one of Parker's first loves, can you tell by the shirt? This trip was fun for me and Kyle because it brought to life some of these characters that he's just seen on TV or movies. It was so fun to see him light up and be excited about things. He told me George was fun, but he's such a silly monkey
