When we were at my parents we took the kids to an indoor bounce house place. Asher loves going to these and it's the perfect place for my little boy with endless energy. It usually takes him a bit to warm up, but then it's hard to get him to leave.
I went down the slide with him a few times, but being pregnant and climbing up them isn't too much fun.
Piper enjoyed hanging out with her daddy. She is such a relaxed little girl, and is fine in any situation.
While we were away we were able to do a lot of things with the kids. We took Asher to Hershey Park and he loved it. He has a blast going on rides and he was the only one who didn't complain about the cold (it was freezing). Asher looked like a pin ball the entire time, running around from one ride to another. He was also excited to get chocolate after the tour through the chocolate factory.

I now have the task of unpacking everything. After we unloaded the car it looked like Christmas vomited all over the living room. That's what happens since Nate and I both come from large family's who give the kids lots of presents.
This has been a crazy December in NC. We usually have really nice weather, but the last two weeks have been freezing and today we got some snow. My little southern boy is actually a northern boy at heart. He would much rather get bundled up and play in the snow then go to the beach.
Piper isn't a huge fan of anything cold, but she does like the cold weather accessories.
Tonight we went to a Christmas party that a friend had. There were a lot of kids running around, but they all had fun. The kids decorated cookies, Asher loved dumping the sprinkles on his.
He also loved eating it.
Piper played with toys most of the night and tried to avoid getting run over by the big kids.
Towards the end of the night Santa made an appearance. Asher was very excited about this, especially since he brought candy.
Piper, well she didn't really like Santa.
Asher on the other hand enjoyed getting to tell someone everything that he wanted. Santa asked him what he wanted for Christmas and Asher said very loudly "Presents".
I know I am late in posting about Thanksgiving. My class ends in a week and hopefully I'll post more frequently when it is finished. We had a really good Thanksgiving. We travel up to PA for some holidays, but this is one that we do at home with friends. It was a really warm day which the kids loved. We had breakfast at our house with some friends and went to another friends for dinner.
It is next to impossible to get a good shot of these two together. I'm not even going to try when the next one comes.
Piper didn't care about the food, she was just happy she got a new dress.
All the kids sat at one table to eat. Asher had a cracker and about 17 cookies. He had such a fun time running around with all the kids. And they were literally running around the entire time.
We are so grateful for the friends we have made down here. They truly have become our family.
