New Year's Eve 2010
Chris flew back to Detroit yesterday and Connor was with a friend so that just left Caroline and me to ring in the new year.

Caroline tried her hardest to stay awake until midnight. She went upstairs to watch a movie at nine o'clock and this is what I found half an hour later when I went to check on her. I hate to admit this but I didn't make it either. Oh well, we'll try again next year.
Happy 2011!

Christmas
A few pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. Caroline made sure that Santa had plenty of cookies and milk at our house.
Sprinkling the Reindeer food on the front lawn. (Can't forget about those poor reindeer!)
This was Caroline's favorite gift~a Walking Puppy from Nana and Papa. She has named her puppy Lilly and Lilly came with us to the airport to pick up Daddy :)
Connor wanted video games this year (anyone surprised?? no? me neither.) 
Santa brought Caroline the Ramona and Beezus movie. She was so excited that she was screaming "Ramona and Beezus...I CAN'T believe it!!!
Connor got the Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie. He can't wait to see it and asked if we could have movie night tonight~with popcorn.
It was a wonderful Christmas although Caroline told me that she wasn't happy AT ALL that Santa thought to bring her socks :(

Christmas Concert
Caroline had her Christmas concert last night. We took this picture for Daddy so he could see how pretty she looked :) See the white fur ball curled under the tree? Sabrina and Katie can be found snuggled under there all day long...
I wish I could have gotten a better picture but unfortunately this is the best one I have. The kids sang us 10 songs~Caroline's favorite was Away in a Manger. (It had hand gestures with it..super cute!) The little boy behind Caroline and to the right is our friend Kyle. As usual Kyle sang with gusto and big hand movements:)
Here is my videographer for the evening. Connor did a great job capturing everything for me and even uploaded it and e-mailed the video to Dad and Nana! Thanks Buddy, I couldn't have done it without you!
After the concert there was a Winter Carnival and the kids played games. They even won prizes like candy canes and Christmas mugs. Caroline just went fishing and caught a candy cane! Imagine that!
This is Caroline with Gavin. She tells me that he isn't her boyfriend but they are inseparable and Gavin told his Mom that he "doesn't even mind playing kitchen and dolls as long as he gets to play with Caroline." He also mentioned that he thought she was "just so pretty!" Thumbs up for the tie Gavin, I always liked a well dressed man myself.

Of course the best part is actually hanging them on the tree!

Gingerbread Houses
Well...actually graham cracker houses :) The kids really needed something to do today, so we put on some Christmas music, dug out the candy and continued our tradition of making these sweet little houses.
Caroline worked very hard planning out just where she would put her decorations. Notice her cute little apron~a present from MOPS! She thinks that she looks just like Grandma Lori in her apron and we all agree!
Connor went with a more minimalistic approach. A little here and a little here. Doesn't that Frankenstein face just scream "Merry Christmas?" (And yes, he ate just as much candy as he put on his house. It's one candy for the house...one candy for me approach for Connor!)
