Christmas 2014

Grammy putting the kids to bed … ???

He Arrived!!

We can't believe that Santa took the time to visit us on his busiest day of the year!

Ready For Santa ....

Here we are getting ready for Santa!  Chippy wanted to write him a letter and Wee M got in the festive spirit with some singing!

Oysters

Here is Chippy, unsure of whether he liked Oysters ... then devouring four before he was cut off!

And, yes, that is a Hello Kitty tattoo on his forehead!  

Nutcracker - Chips Style!

Still lovin' the Nutcracker!

Wee Ms first birthday party

Wee M enjoyed her first birthday party for her friend Sophie. There were crafts and lots of couch jumping! Being an Italian party there was also plenty of wine and champagne!

Christmas lights

While daddy watched the Eagles game, mom took the Chips to see an estate in Millis that opens up their property for the public to drive through and see the 100k+ lights!

Wee M goes Skating

Last weekend we went to a furniture store that had a Christmas Village, skating, and showed Frozen while we were waiting in line! Too bad the skating was on plastic... But it was perfect for learning kids!

A Visit from Bubba / Gampy!

Bubba and Gampy visited at the end of November.  They bravely babysat Chippy and Chipette while mom and dad were away.  We also had an early birthday party!

At Grammy n' Pa's

Bowers Christmas

House Party

So, we invited 7 of Chippy's friends to the house for his party hoping that a few wouldn't be able to come.  They all came!  Thank goodness Grammy came for the fun.  This year only two of the parents stayed - although there were a few who wouldn't leave before making sure we were keeping tabs on where the kids were in the house - or checking to make sure we didn't have firearms in the house!!

We had two robot crafts, a robot pinata, a LOT of noise, pizza and cake!  A successful party!!

A split second later this pinata was
hitting Chipette square in the forehead!

Build-A-Bear Party

Chipette had a party at Build a Bear for her birthday.  We invited our friends K, W & E for brunch in the food court then we had a 'beary' fun party! :)

Happy Birthday, Chipette!

We had time for a quick present opening after breakfast prior to our afternoon activities!!

Last Day of Two!!
