Science Fair

Amy and her class did their science fair project on different types of stuff that will eat your teeth.  They were divided into 2 teams.  Amy enjoyed this project and learned a lot about what you need to do to keep your teeth healthy.  They had a dentist come and talk with them as well.  They used actual teeth in their experiment.  They were pretty were huge.  I am used to the little tiny baby teeth that fall out and have no root.  

Aquarium

Today was a day off of school for the kids so I took the day off and we went to the aquarium as a family. It was a lot of fun. There are lots of hands on exhibits. The kids had a great time. Parker managed to get his sleeve wet even though he was wearing short sleeves. Amy's favorite was the cameleon and the iguana. Parker liked the starfish.

Ice Skating

We went on an ice skating trip with several of my co-workers. It was the first time for both of the kids. They did a great job. It made it a lot easier that they had these walkers to help them.

Christmas 2011

We had a great Christmas this year.

Christmas Eve

We went to my parents house on Christmas Eve. It was fun to get together with everyone. My camera was not working very well that night so I didn't get very many pictures that were not too dark.

Polar Express

We took Parker on the Polar Express train ride. Amy was invited to a birthday party so she decided that would be more fun. It was especially fun because we ran into our good friends, Doug and Julie. It was fun to be with friends. They had Santa and Mrs. Claus on the train and then at the "North Pole". No snow in the North Pole on this trip, maybe next time.

Gingerbread House

Every year we have a tradition that we build a gingerbread house together. Amy and Parker were able to most of this by themselves with only a little assistance.
