Nevin's 12th Birthday

Nevin turned 12 on Dec.4th. My little boy is twelve! It really does seem like yesterday that he was five. Every time I think about it I want to cry! It also makes me feel pretty old :P. I'm so proud of him. He really is a good kid with a kind heart. He'll always be my baby...hehe!
He had the choice to either have a big party or get a big gift. He chose the big gift. He wanted Drum lesson's so we signed him up! He starts next Thursday right after his guitar lessons. I'm excited for him!
We had a fun day. We took him to see A Christmas Carol and on our way home picked out our Christmas tree. For dinner he chose Pizza(with vegan rice cheese). We had cake the next day.
It was also Chloe's 1st time at the movies. She didn't make a peep during the whole thing. She was either nursing or sleeping.:)

and I can't leave out sweet Kieran!

Mommy and Me Swim and Other Things

Kieran and I had our first Mommy and Me swim class last night. It was fun, but he wasn't too cooperative. He loves bath time and shallow water but being in deep water seems to freak him out and he clings to me. Hopefully he'll loosen up a bit as he gets use to it! I think it's actually called Parent and Tot swim class or something so Josh can join in sometime if he wants! :)

We have tickets to see the Doodlebops on the 23rd and we are so excited! Kieran loves them as does our whole family! And for those of you that may think it's unfair to Nevin that we went to Sesame Street Live and now The Doodlebops...well, I wanted to take him to see High School Musical On Ice but he doesn't want to! I did however just take him to the movies to see Penelope over the weekend. It was a cute movie with a good lesson...love yourself for who you are. We both enjoyed it and it was nice spending some one on one time together. I figure while we are in Ohio we'll visit the science ceneter there...he'll like that.
Wow, it sure seems like our family is doing a lot. We normally don't do any of these things..but it sure is fun!!!

Well, looks as if we'll be having a snow storm tonight! Hope the roads don't get too bad for Josh's drive home...plus Nevin has swim class tonight.
