Christmas 2016

Rebekah:

Christmas was lots of fun this year.  We were able to see Santa several times before Christmas actually came and I was so hoping he would bring me exactly what I asked.  I told him I wanted a candy cane - not one to eat, but a toy one.  Hannah said she wanted some flowers.

When we woke up on Christmas morning, we could hardly believe that he came and even left us stockings!

Check out Hannah's flowers from Santa.  She was so happy.

These binoculars are the best.  We had a pair and we loved them so much that they broke.

This present was under the tree before Christmas from Mommy and Daddy, so I added some ribbon to make it pretty.

Grandma B and Pop gave us this cool spinning toy and we had so much fun jumping over it.

Check out our antlers.

This bear is so special.  Grandma B picked it out just for Hannah because she knew how much Hannah would love it.  She wasn't able to see the joy on her face but we all got to see her smiles.  It was so special to Pop as well.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hannah's Christmas Program

Hannah:

I love to sing.  I practice all the time - in my bed, in the bathroom, at the table when I'm supposed to be eating.  The music just comes out of me and I love it!  My Christmas program was the perfect opportunity to showcase my vocal pipes to an audience and it was awesome!

My entrance was epic.  I was walking down the aisle with my bubble in my mouth (to be quiet) and then I saw my family.  I looked over and shouted with total glee "REBEKAH!!!"  Everyone laughed.  I just couldn't hold back my excitement about seeing my sister at my program.

Star of Bethlehem

Happy Hallelujah Christmas Song  --- In this song, I just felt the music so strong that I had to have a little spontaneous solo right in the middle!

We Wish You a Merry Christmas (and goodbye)

I had such a great time singing.  Being an angel was the best!

Seaworld Part 2

Rebekah:

Seaworld is pretty much the best place on this planet.  Mommy agreed and we all went back to Seaworld to see Shamu, all the dolphins, the pet show, and even a new one with some sea lions.  They also opened up a new area where we were able to view an aquarium and see some new things.  As expected, this was the greatest trip ever!

When we first arrived, we were greeted with rain.  We grabbed our ponchos and hid indoors until it stopped.  Most people stayed away because of the rain so we had a great time doing whatever we wanted to do.

Don't eat the fish!!  The sea lions were way too funny.

Here we are at the Shamu roller coaster.  This is definitely our favorite ride.

The Pets Ahoy show is one of our favorites.

On this trip we were able to see a newly opened area with sharks, fish, and even dolphins!

Hannah's 4th Birthday

Hannah:

Can you believe that I had another birthday?  It took sooooo long to get here, but it finally came and now I am 4 years old!  I celebrated my birthday in a few pieces.  First, I got to open presents from Mommy and Daddy on my actual birthday.  Then I got to have a little party at my preschool with delicious cupcakes from Mommy.  And last, I celebrated with more of my family on Saturday and got to open even more presents!  Oh, and eat more cupcakes too :)

Time for presents!

Now it's play time.

Check out these cupcakes that I was able to share with my friends at school.  So delicious.

Now it's the day for the family celebration.  See, more cupcakes!!

We started out the festivities with the best part.  I love the birthday song.

There was this one piece of icing that I just could not get to go inside my mouth.  I had to find a way.

More presents!

Now that all the presents are open, we get to play with our fun new toys.

My birthday was literally the best day of my whole entire life.  I was filled with joy and loved everything about it.  My presents were great, but I also enjoyed time with my family and some yummy cupcakes.  I really am 4 now!
