Goodbye 2012

I apologize for the lack of update. Let me recap the last few months of 2012 that I have completely missed blogging about.

Okay, let me see…

We attended a Halloween Party at the Paley Center in Beverly Hills.

Daffy Duck, Scooby Doo and Bug’s Bunny were there. There were tons of activities for children, things to see and freebies. Even hubby and I had so much fun!

We used our second visit to Legoland and it was so worth it! I love it there!

My Grandma came to visit and the children fell in love with her immediately. I miss her already.

More than ever, I’m learning to be even more thankful of every single thing that I have, no matter how small. It was a great Thanksgiving!

The hubby took the kids to an amazing park called Vincent Lugo Park. The kids had a blast!

The hubby and I got to dress up to attend a cocktail party in Studio City.

I turned 35 and decided to celebrate at work by wearing Hello Kitty for a day LOL

The kid’s watched The Fresh Beat Band live in concert as an early Christmas present.

We moved…

My daughter was the STAR in their Christmas play.

My son received an Academic Effort Award in school.

He was also a hit in his School Talent Show.

We were able to enjoy Christmas in our new home.

The kid’s had an after Christmas treat in Kidspace.

My parents took the kids to San Francisco to watch Lion King the Musical

My hubby turned 35 as well.

Hubby was home for New Year’s Eve to celebrate with us, yay!

We were able to go to see the Rose Parade floats for a close up view on New Year’s Day!

And the kid’s made their first Aaron and Elle show for 2013!

Amazing babies no more

When I was pregnant with ds there was only one thing we specifically prayed for. We prayed he would be loving.

When it was time for dd, our prayer was for her to be above all else be obedient.

God is gracious. He has given us two of the best kids ever! They are smart and creative and silly and forgiving. For the most part they behave pretty well. They love each other and they make us feel loved.

Lately, they’ve become each others best friend. They look after each other. They play together. They help each other out. They chat and share silly jokes. I love it.

On mornings I need to sleep in, they manage to survive together playing, snacking, watching tv, drawing, going on the computer, etc. They don’t really wake us up unless they want a kiss or it’s really important.

Its nice that they are old enough to care for themselves now, but I’m also a little sad. I miss them being younger. My amazing babies are gone. Now I have amazing big kids.

All glory belongs to God!

Aaron loved his Psalty’s Bible and Wii’s Udraw.

Later that night we went bowling as a family.

Hubby hooked it up with a yummy angry birds cake

Family Picture Time

Happy Birthday Aaron Kristan!

Aaron’s Angry Birds Party @SVFC

Aaron turned 6 this year. One week before his birthday, he tell me he wanted an angry birds party. I scoured the internet for tips and ideas. Some are amazingly cute, but most are not as practical as the ideas that I needed.

We were gonna have a celebration with the Sunday School kids at church and it had to be an easy set up and easy take down.

I personalized a cupcake stand to match with the angry birds theme.

Here’s the shot of the cupcakes on the stand.

I downloaded these cute guys and the kids had fun stacking them.

We had a simple set up, but I wanted the birthday boy to have a wall so festive that he could take pictures with.

I used a banner I used 2 years ago from a previous party and I made a pennant banner which I can reuse for another time. The foam initials of his name was an amazing deal for a dollar each.

The kids played a game of find your partner, and the headbands doubled as a party hat. lol

Then the kids played knock over the piggies. Hubby found some green raffia balls and I taped the faces on them. The kids had to knock them over the blocks with bead bags. They had so much fun!

And of course we had to have a pinata.

Cupcake time!

Popsicles to end the day?

It was a successful simple angry birds birthday party!

Kiddies + Arts and Crafts + Family Time = Happiness

I had a crazy week!
And there’s no better way to feel better than spend time with the kiddies.

DS woke up early and I heard giggling coming out of my computer. Turns out he was watching some videos he and DD made with photobooth.

Soon after that, DH came home and DD woke up. DD wanted to do arts and crafts. She knew it was saturday and we normally have Arts and Crafts Saturday in our loft.

But first we had breakfast.

DS made an Angry Pig using a shell, mulberry paper, chenille stem and googly eyes.

DD made a fairy and a princess using plain paper, mulberry paper, chenille stems, beads, feathers and sticks. I had to help her with the taping, cutting and twisting of stems.
