Christmas Camp ~ Bowling Day

In my quest to keep up with the kids' energy level while they're on Christmas break, we met up with our friends today and had lunch at Old McDonald's and then headed to the bowling alley for some fun!

Cooper, Reagan, Brandon, Jacob

 Lexi & Taylor

 Cooper's 1st time to bowl

 look at those cute little shoes!

 trying to find the perfect ball

 Cooper found bowling "granny style" worked best for him!

 love his technique

 comparing bowling secrets with Jacob

 go ball, go

 checking to make sure the score is correct

 the final score ~ Lane 1

Cooper bowled a 68

 Final score ~ Lane 2

Reagan bowled a 63

 Once we got home, we rode bicycles (yes, Cooper has on shorts, but I convinced him to wear a jacket~the toboggan and gloves were his idea)

 super-fast girl

 beautiful girl

 my buddies for the week!

 I love to see them smile and hear their laughter!

 we attempted a family photo...

...this is the best we could do!



Christmas Camp ~ Movie Day

As soon as breakfast was over, Reagan and Cooper headed straight for the toy room to get to work on some more art projects.  Santa knew what he was doing when he brought the art table.


Good Morning!

 Cooper took a little break to play with his trains

 Reagan didn't stop!

 "Enough pictures already!"

 After lunch, we went to the "red store" (Target) and then to the movie theatre to see Alvin & the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked

 then, it was back home to more fun.  Reagan said she was also going to use her art table as a desk to read and do homework

 the garbage truck is always a favorite

 He has been building towers with his magna blocks

 sweet boy

 Reagan finally got baby Lola out of the box

 she couldn't wait to change her clothes

 fairies and swords

 after bath, it was on to the Leap Pads



Christmas Camp ~ Pajama Day

Reagan and Cooper are both out of school this week and there are no camps open either.  So, it's up to me to come up with fun activities.  Today was a lazy day for all of us...the weather was yucky, so we just stayed in our pjs all (and I do mean all) day.  I did have them change into clean pjs before they went to bed tonight!

trying out their new art table

 they worked with the stencils for about 1 1/2 hours this morning

 diligently working

 how sweet are those hands?

 these hands are just as sweet!

 We had lunch at Cafe Living Room

 then, we had a Tea Party for dessert

 here's to Christmas vacation!

 What a life ~ watching a movie, eating red velvet cookies, and sipping on tea!

 playing with new toys

 love this smile!

 Cooper turned flips to entertain us

 back to the stencils

 sweet hands

Hopefully, I'll be able to keep them entertained/busy for the rest of the week!
