Christmas and New Year

Last Christmas, the first one in our apartment, Kayla and Colin insisted on sleeping in the loft where the tree was in hopes of seeing Santa!  Somehow though, Santa snuck in after they fell asleep and they slept right though him dropping off all of his presents!  And yes, that is a very very tiny tree.  :)

And because I love me some sleeping kid photos, here's one of Colin with his new favorite monster truck pillow from Christmas.

For New Years, we took the train downtown and went to Navy Pier for some fun!  They had tons of slides, bounce houses, and other rides.  The kids had a blast!

Of course Kayla found her all-time favorite ride.  Colin tried it for the first time this year, but he is not quite as adventurous as Kayla.  Maybe next year!

Woohoo, the train!  Of course, probably the best part about going to Chicago for Colin!

Random peanut truck at our grocery store.  Had to get a pic!

Daddy and Colin went ice fishing for the first time last winter!  Colin was really excited and insisted on holding that snow ball the whole time.  I don't think they caught anything, but it sure was fun!

MONSTER TRUCK SHOW!!  Colin had sooooo much fun, and Kayla started having fun there too. Daddy, Kayla, and Colin took a ride in a monster truck school bus! Besides the noise and the trucks, the best part about it was they were shooting t-shirts into the crowd and of course we were trying to get one for Colin.  Instead, a boy a few rows in front of us got one, and he turned around, walked over to Colin, and gave him his shirt!  He's got a little growing into it.
