December

We've had a super busy December, particularly since it seems that half of Hayley's PreK class was born in the month of December! We spent the first Saturday of the month at Hayley's BFF's birthday party at the uber popular, BounceU.

My adrenaline junkie daughter spent the entire 30 minutes we were in this Bounce room on this slide. Every time she'd go down, a look of complete terror would wash over her. She'd bounce right back up at the bottom just giggling and squealing with delight as she grabbed her sack and raced back up the steps.
While my other two children had a ball in the big bounce house.

Hayley went for a knockout with her BFF, TJ.

After a few punches they were ready for cake. Hayley was super happy to get to sit next to the birthday boy. Hayley and TJ have been in school together for their 3 and 4 year old class years. While they've always been super close, I'm told their relationship has really developed this year and TJ has made marriage plans for them.

The following morning, we met family for breakfast to celebrate Papa's birthday!

Last Saturday, we headed over to Orlando for a day at Sea World!

I gotta say, the Shamu show made Brian and I a tad nervous. The show was really different this year and the trainers didn't get in the water with the whales. The kids enjoyed it nonetheless.

We took the "Polar Express" to the North Pole. Hayley didn't waste anytime telling anyone she thought had an "in" with Santa exactly what she was looking for on Christmas morning.

The whole North Pole/Elf thing reminded Brian and I bit too much of this:

Hayley let Santa know that she expected Tinkerbelle fairies and a see-saw?? to be under the tree Christmas morning. And she also interpreted for Todd, that he expected Thomas the Train on Dec. 25th. I've tried to convince Hayley that a see-saw will not fit in Santa's sleigh, but she's not buying it.

We spent the rest of our day watching the dolphins, penguins, and trying to keep Hayley out of the stingray tank.
