Christmas Eve, 2011

At the Mall!

Every year, we have made it a tradition to go to the mall, let the kids get a little bag of candy from a candy shop, look at all the stores and shoppers, and visit the in-mall pet shop! This year was so much fun, and we definitely got a couple stares...especially when Jason was pushing Emilie in her stroller, and me and Jon was escorting me on his arm, as he pushed the little boys in rental kids cart :D

Dreaming about some lollypops

Looking over the wrapped candies

We got a snack of oreos, and mommy (foolishly..) gave Emi one to nibble on

And Nibble she did!

Jelly Bellies please!

Is Tyler actually drooling?? lol!

My Boys

So while mommy got distracted photographing the boys and their candy...Emilie went to town on her oreo!
SOMEONE is excited to get candy ;)

At the playplace in the mall

Micah and Emilie (yes, she sits up very well now!)

Emilie threw a fit when we put her back in the stroller to continue our mall tour :(

Also known as The Princess and The Queen, right Jonny? ;)

She LOVED the elevator!

That Evening, we went to Janice and Snoball's house for supper and to exchange gifts. These first pictures are all taken by Tyler...who somehow snatched my camera and started clicking away while I was distracted (obviously...). Enjoy!

You can't see her face very well, but she was giving Uncle Snoball a BIG grin!

I LOVE This picture!!! ♥ Look at Micah's stinker face...lol...we were telling him to smile, but I think he has a stubborn streak in there somewheres..

Micah found his perch for watching a movie

Mommy's laundry....boy with split-open-head...boy snuggling in down comfortor...Yes, Micah is there on the piano watching the movie too (you can just barely see his leg)...
