New Scooters

The kids got scooters for Christmas 

Mason's is princess and Corben's Toy Story themed 

Still cold outside, so they are scooting in the new game room 

Corben goes pretty fast!

They have three wheels so are quite stable, Mason is actually really good!

They made playdoh cupcakes with candles on top 

They sang happy birthday to Jesus and then blew out the candles

Zoo Lights & Santa

A cold night at Zoo Lights 

Corben did so good with Santa, he had practiced what he wanted to ask for.  He went right on his lap and started talking to him.  We eventually had to keep asking Corben to get off his lap because he was comfortable and just wanted to stay with Santa. 

Mason on the other hand wasn't too happy and of course we have a crying picture.

Corben stayed on after sister got off to keep talking.
