Day 365 - December 31, 2010

I can't believe that I did it. 365 days of pictures and I didn't forget one single time. I am so proud of myself! This has been a great project and hope that y'all have enjoyed it.

By the way ... this was the only staged picture that I took the entire year.

Day 364 - December 30, 2010

Here are Heath and Susannah working on a puzzle together.

Day 363 - December 29, 2010

At Halloween it was discovered that the kids LOVE Reece's peanut butter cups. They were very happy that Santa put some in their stockings. And they were even happier when they got a chance to eat them.

Day 362 - December 28, 2010

We went to the McKenna Children's Museum today. The kids just love that place and it was great to have Daddy join us. Here are the kids running around the place.

Day 361 - December 27, 2010

The kids had the 2nd round of their flu shots today. Susannah got lucky and it turned out that she didn't need to get a 2nd shot (previous nurse was wrong). So only Heath had the torture of a shot. But we all got lucky to partake in the "treat" for getting a shot - lunch at Super Salad, one of Heath's favorite places.

Day 360 - December 26, 2010

I had forgotten that I was planning on making the kids hot chocolate on Christmas morning. So I made some this morning instead. The kids were pretty excited cause we had made some cinnamon whipped cream last week and froze it for hot chocolate.

Day 359 - December 25, 2010

Merry Christmas!

Day 358 - December 24, 2010

The kids were lucky this year. Santa came for a visit! The kids were pretty surprised but not freaked out. Heath, of course, just went along with it all but Susannah was a bit more shocked at his appearance. Too bad Daddy missed it - he was out at the store getting pasta sauce.

Day 357 - December 23, 2010

Here are the kids enjoying some juice boxes while I packed up the holiday treats that I made for friends this year (popcorn kernels with chocolate popcorn seasoning, mexican popcorn seasoning and peppermint bark popcorn).

Day 356 - December 22, 2010

The kids were playing with Heath's map mat this morning. It was a fun moment, despite Susannah's purpose pout.

Day 355 - December 21, 2010

This morning Susannah decided that Heath was a baby kitty and needed a bowl of Cheerio cat food. Here she is feeding her kitty from her hand.

Day 354 - December 20, 2010

This morning Heath was working on a puzzle and was pretty frustrated cause he couldn't finish it. Susannah saw him getting upset and went over to help, quickly seeing that a piece was missing. So she started scooping up the pieces in order to look for the missing one. She managed to find the piece and save the day.

Day 353 - December 19, 2010

Here are Matt and the kids cutting out sugar cookies for Santa.

Day 352 - December 18, 2010

The kids were playing forts under chairs with blankets. Susannah was inside her fort reading to Heath.

Day 351 - December 17, 2010

Here are the kids being silly on the couch this morning.

Day 350 - December 16, 2010

Tonight we had dinner at a friends house and made gingerbread houses after. It was so much fun and the kids had a blast. Thanks Mooneys!

Day 349 - December 15, 2010

Before work this morning, Matt was reading High Five to the kids. It is Susannah's magazine but Heath has taken an interest in it too recently.

Day 348 - December 14, 2010

Here's Susannah reading to Heath in his bed. They were pretending that she was putting him down for a nap.

Day 347 - December 13, 2010

The kids favorite decorations are the singing ones. And we have lots of them.

Day 346 - December 12, 2010

Today we put the ornaments on the tree and took out all the Christmas decorations. Heath stopped for a snack while Susannah was playing with Rudolph.

Day 345 - December 11, 2010

Here are the kids watching Matt put the lights up on the tree.

Day 344 - December 10, 2010

Smoothie time - and it was an awesome one. I didn't use a recipe, just threw in whatever fruit I could fine. It was yummy and there was even enough for me (usually the kids drink it all).

Day 343 - December 9, 2010

Here's another imagination game. It involved this empty Annie's Bunny box, cars and trucks and stuff from the kitchen set. Whatever it was, it resulted in a lot of fun for the kids.

Day 342 - December 8, 2010

The kids are in the stairs playing a game called Up, Up in the Monkey Barrel. I don't really know what the games entails but it has to do with taking the vacuum cord up the stairs and looking it around the gate. Then the kids were going up and down. Like I said, I don't know all the details but the game has been played for the last several days and has given me the freedom to make dinner. Thank you imagination!

Day 341 - December 7, 2010

OK, here was a crazy game - the kids had set up the Pottery Barn chairs as a table for a tea party. Then they decided to cover the table with ALL of my dish rags and drying clothes. It was pretty funny to watch and they played this game several times.

Day 340 - December 6, 2010

Awe ... look how nicely the kids are playing together.

Day 339 - December 5, 2010

Here are the kids playing Legos. And, yes, that is Susannah in her Halloween costume.

Day 338 - December 4, 2010

I keep telling Heath that he is one lucky little brother as Susannah rocks at being a big sister. Susannah is always willing to play with Heath and read books. Here they are together reading one of Heath's current favorites.

Day 337 - December 3, 2010

These two toys have been in the garage in a bin for a while (I try to regularly switch the toys around so they don't get too bored with them). So the kids were excited to see them again. Heath is making cookies and Susannah is cutting up stuff for lunch.

Day 336 - December 2, 2010

Friends, Simon and Charlie, were over this morning as their mother had just given birth to Baby Lily earlier in the morning. Charlie was helping Susanna and Heath do a puzzle.

Day 335 - December 1, 2010

Here are the kids playing with some of Heath's trucks.
