Christmas Zoo Trip

Christmas Break Fun

Natalie got a new fingernail painting kit, and Isabel got a new robe, so spa day was a must. 

The big kids had fun playing LIFE with Emmet while Isabel napped at home. 

Christmas in YC

We spent Christmas Day and the next couple days in Yates Center. We got to see both my mom's and my dad's sides of the family. We had a great time, but we got very few pictures! Here are a few of the kids playing outside. Natalie even got to feed the Clydesdale horses by Sis's house.

Christmas Presents

Christmas at the Farm

We gathered with all of the O'Hallorans at Grandpa Mike's farm a couple days before Christmas. The weather was beautiful, so we all had fun playing outside. 

Christmas Eve

We've been having a wonderful Christmas season, and I hope to get some more pictures on the blog soon! Falling asleep before I get to my evening to-do's has become a nightly occurrence this pregnancy, so the blog has taken a hit. Maybe morning posting should become my routine. Anyway, here are the kids before Christmas Eve Mass. More to come soon!

Roller Blades

The big kids all love to roller blade, and Isabel is pretty sure she is getting pink roller blades for Christmas. 

Tea Party

All three girls are really into throwing tea parties for each other. Emma and Isabel had one for lunch yesterday. 

Luminary Walk

We all had fun walking through the arboretum all lit up for the luminary walk tonight. The tunnel of lights is always a favorite. 

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving in Yates Center! The kids all had fun on the new zip line between trees in the yard. We played games, made puzzles, and visited with family that we hadn't seen in far too long. 

Music Program

Natalie and Max sang in the elementary school music program Monday evening, and Emma wanted to be in the picture too!

Turkey Day

Emma made both of these turkeys at preschool on Friday and asked me to take a picture of her with them right when she got home. The kids each got to bring a small snack to share for a Thanksgiving snack time. Emma and I made mini blueberry muffins for her contribution, but she reported that she skipped our homemade muffins and chose the powdered donuts and gummy bears that others brought instead. 

Perfect Park Weather

Swinging

The little girls love to have Chris push them on the swings when he gets home from work.

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween from an artist, a K-State cheerleader, a scientist, and a football player. This may have been our best Halloween yet!

Zoo & Pumpkins

We spent this beautiful morning at the zoo. The weather was perfect, and the animals seemed to be loving it too.

Then this evening we carved our jack-o-lanterns!
