Goodbye 2012

 The New Years Eve Party we went to was fu-un!  First, we kicked it off with a Nerf Gun War

Kaili was my photographer, while I sat on the couch and enjoyed all the yummy treats everyone brought!  :-)

 Tyler was around there somewhere...

 After dark, we kicked off the fireworks!

 Finishing the night off with our favorite!  Chinese Firecrackers!  It was the perfect party!  We came.  We saw.  We left when everyone ran out of fireworks, at about 9:00.  It was awesome...I still got a full 10 hours of sleep! :-)

Just Hanging Around

When I am asked to take a picture because they know they are being cute and having fun and loving each other...

Is. The. Best!

A Trip to the Hilton

 We were invited to meet some friends at the Hilton to see the dolphins!  Since the Christmas rush is over...we figured we could fit this into our schedule :-)

Too bad we were so slow...we got there as the friends were just leaving....oh well, any day is still a great day to visit dolphins!

 The new baby! So cute!!

 After watching the dolphins for a bit, we jumped over to the beach!

 Then we took a little walk over the bridges...stopping by the statues...perfect for climbing :-)

 And back to the beach.  Catching see-through shrimp...can you spy it?  (PS. There really is a shrimp in there!)

 The Hilton has too many statues, if you ask me...but my kids never get tired of climbing and posing :-)

Fingers and Toes

 A stylish gift from Auntie Jessie :-)  Bottles and bottles of nail polish :-)  We had a make-over, double coated all the nails to make them really beautiful and bright, and topped off with the sparkly stuff :-)

Too bad it all came off the next day :-) Oh well...looked good for a few hours!

Christmas Bells Are Ringing....

 Christmas Day!  Kids decided to sleep under the tree...made for some stealthy Santa-ing!

(So nice and clean!)

 Ready to rock and roll!!

 Santa didn't even forget the dog...Tyler was testing it out to see if it was a cookie...

Bikes were in order...

an Electric Scooter...

A BBQ (That Santa was too woosey to carry inside!)

And my treasured camera (Santa knew JUST what I wanted!)...Actually, I got one camera from Santa and the same one from Mom!  I guess two great minds think alike!

Everyone was ALL smiles!

 Back Scratcher (thank you Gramma Jama!)

 One of her favorites...make up!

 One of her favorites...a pony!  (Much more affordable than the real one she wanted from horse lessons!)

 His Booty

 What we figured out by the end of the morning...Kids like boxes just as much, or maybe more, than the presents inside!  Go figure...

 Merry Christmas!!!!
