HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope everyone had a great new year. Gage had a preschool New Year Party and here he is sporting his gear. The kids were extra excited about no bedtime and getting to party-which means soda.
We started the day off by going to our local duck pond area by the falls. It is always fun to feed the ducks in the winter because they are super hungry and swarm around you. The kids didn't like the ducks invading their space and they would have flashbacks of the geese from last year when they would approach (especially Gage).

We took the kids to Chuck-a-rama for dinner, thanks to a gift certificate we were given for Christmas. The kids love to eat here, Maicey's highlight are the Slush's and Gage takes advantage of the PEPSI. I don't buy pop and on special occasions Gage goes a little overboard. He had a full cup of pepsi finished half way through dinner and it didn't take long for the sugar high to kick in. He was making me laugh sooo hard.
Gage surprised us and lasted until a
little after 11:00 pm but Maicey and Violet crashed around 10:00pm. Our kids go to bed early so this is pretty good for them.






















































Maicey loved trying to pet the ducks and in this picture she actually succeeded.
