Bright Lights, Big Country (More Pics)

Hi All,

Just some more random photos from Santa's Wonderland....we miss you all!

Love Cookie and Kiss.

Petting Zoo

Hello All,

There was also a petting zoo at Santa's Wonderland--Kiss and Cookie had a great time. The pics are out of order, but you'll get the idea....

Christmas Wonderland!

GramA and GrandP took Kiss and Cookie on a Texas-style holiday adventure!!!











....to Santa's Wonderland!










There are over two and a half million lights on display/ Today, more than 80% are LED lights. The colors are extremely bright, rich & vivid and use about 90% less electricity than conventional bulbs....!




Did we mention that it was a Texas-style adventure....?












Note that Cookie is showing off his patented karate kick...(sweep the leg, Cookie!)













We took Kiss and Cookie on a Hayride....
































Kiss was sooo thrilled! She was singing and dancing and chatting the whole time....!
















































Cookie had a great time, too (although I was afraid that he was going to jump overboard a couple of times....!)














































...and it even snowed...



Happy Holidays!!

November Grandparent Visit

Life has been a bit nuttier than usual, but things have begun to settle down and it is time to get to the blog!
November was a BIG month in our house. On the 12th my folks came for a short visit. It was lots of fun...

Kiss thought Grandma L as a pirate was hilarious!!

She was RIGHT!!

Ahoy Grandma! Thar be loads of fun ahead!!

Friday the Thirteenth was a very good day! We had Kindermusik in the morning and in the afternoon I found out that I still had a job AND that my territory hadn't changed (much). Yippee for Friday the thirteenth!!

Hula hooping is all the rage...and Kindermusik has the beat! Check out Grandma and Kiss...they could be in the next hooping workout video!

After a fun filled day of hooping and playing it was time for a snack. Grandma style!

Grandpa and Cookie had lots of fun bonding and reading books!

Cookie thinks Grandpa is the Greatest!!

It was wonderful to see my parents and to share Cookie and Kiss with them. We had a great trip and we were thrilled that they were able to make it. They left on the 16th to drive the Pee Hoopdie (my old car from college) back to WI.
Merry Christmas Mom & Dad!

Library Bees: Behind the Scenes

Cookie's BeeMobile is stylish. Unfortunately, it gets poor gas mileage.
So MamaFox took Kiss and Cookie do some research at the library.
Yes, the answer is here!!!
Bees can fly! I’m outta here!

Happy Halloween from the Bee Family

Kiss and Cookie were originally slated to be Pirates - AARRRGGG!! but we had a slight costume snafu (the 12-18 size was so tight that Cookie fell over like a turtle and couldn't get up!!) by the time I got back to the store their size was gone and I had been struck by inspiration.

BUSY BEES!! What better to make my busy little people that bees! Then Martha had a great Bee Keeper costume in her Halloween edition and I love a good wig and tutu - the Bee Family was born.

The Bee Keeper, Queen Bee and two Busy Honey Bees!

The Keeper with a VERY busy busy bee

Winner!! The Bee Family took home FIRST Prize for the best group costume! Score!

Miss A and Miss B stopped by to Buzzz with the bees and bring a little more Bug to the party (Cooper the Pup came decked out as a very cute Lady Bug!) The Honey Bees were super excited to see Miss A and even said her name when she arrived. Cuter than cute!

Check out all the cool costumes at the park

After the park festivities we headed out for some Trick or Treating! Let there be no mistake. This is Miss Kiss' holiday!! She loved ever single minute of it! After her first taste of that sweet candy goodness she was hooked! She ran to each door, straight to the candy bowl and demanded " TWO". Take a look at Kiss and Cookie's first Halloween!

Apparently I have said " Just one" and "Ok that's One" enough times that her response now is "two". After Halloween "two" has come to mean candy and I want some now, preferably two - one for each hand! She knows just where the candy stash is located and will march over to the spot several times a day and demand "TWO!!".

Like Mother like Daughter!

It was a fun filled night...but eventually the bees needed to return to the hive for some R&R

Cookie in a candy coma!!

Kiss: A candy bar in one hand and two toothbrushes in the other!

These two little bees had a marvelous time and were all buzzed out. Kiss fell asleep on the floor while I was reading stories and Cookie was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow! It was a fun filled Holiday and I was so happy that Kiss and Cookie enjoyed as much as I did!
