Aquarium

We had not been to the aquarium since Kaylee has been born, so we were really excited to go when DeeDee and Bobo invited us! They had made a lot of improvements, and we had a great time! Kids could crawl through some tunnels under a tank and poke there heads up right in the middle of the tank! Turtles! Chase even got to feed them! Petting a sting ray! Walking in the shark tunnel

Christmas 2012

What an AWESOME Christmas we had this year!!! We had such a great time at the Hartman Christmas over at Aunt Linda's. I forgot my camera the first night, and Chase and Kaylee had got to open some presents and also my Gramma...aka Baba... came with me to see all the Hartmans. It was a great evening. The second day of Hartman Christmas, we had "snoopy" day... Santa also came to visit! Kaylee loved Santa!! She said "ho!ho!ho!" everytime she saw him.. Ezra was not quite as comfortable with Santa Chase told Santa he wanted Gordon. Love these kids!!! Desteny and Mason And Kaylee comes back for more Santa time... She would have sat on him all evening I think! But then she remembered there was yogurt covered Oreos to eat.. And we had to get a picture of "team Guiness" I am not sure the whole story behind this, but I know it started during a game of putt putt in Branson one year.. Sunday morning we got up and had breakfast and said goodbye to all the out of town Hartman's, it was so fun being around everyone. After breakfast, we went over to the Kovars to spend a little time with our other aunts and uncles. Claudia and Joe had a fun get together and had a piniata for all the kids to pound on.. A harmonica came out of the piniata! Score! And they got to open some presents too! Christmas eve we went over to DeeDee and Bobo's and opened presents, had an enchilada birthday dinner for Jill, and played, played, and played! Tea time!! This year, Danny read the Christmas story... it was pretty special! After DeeDee and Bobo's we went home and got ready for Santa to come. Of course that means putting some deer food in the front yard! And Santa came! Kaylee discovers there are some cookies leftover that Santa didn't eat... After seeing how much fun the kids had in the clubhouse at the pumpkin patch, (back in October), we were really hoping Santa would bring one to our house to play in! I can just see Kaylee, 15 years from now just like this, with a phone glued to her ear looking at me like, what now mom? Time for MORE presents! Man these kids are SPOILED! We had a fabulous Christmas, it gets more fun every year! What a great 2012 we had, can't wait to see what 2013 holds for our family!
