Early January 2012

Kieran's interest in ghosts, monsters and all things "spooky" continues... he saw parts of Ghostbusters recently and is obsessed. He sings the song and talks about the Ghostbusters coming over to his house to get the ghosts in his room- and he never seems scared :) Another favorite past time is giving Rick and I "lessons"- referring to himself as "teacher" as he demonstrates various tasks  and "reads" to us from books, menus and signs... it's adorable!
Today we went to a birthday party for Jenny's sons- Aidan, Jack and Nate. The party was at Flipz- a favorite party place for Kieran and most other kids under the age of 10 or so. Kieran had a lot of fun leading Rick all around the gym, in and out of the foam pit, on and off the trampoline and with all the other fun gym stuff. Of course he also loved the MU cupcakes and ice cream but he had a hard time understanding the gifts were not for him... tears ensued off and on but over all he did well. After the party we had lunch at McDonalds (health food all the way!) and then Kieran played some more there before napping in the car. Tomorrow we have a play date with Camden in the morning... should be fun!

Playing with Corbin...

"Rib-bit!"

Mommy eats so funny!

"Cheese!!"

So long 2011!

To finish up the 2011 year here are a few random pics from the last days of December... it was a great year!

These pics come from Camden's mommy. She had the opportunity to attend the KIM school gift exchange. She said Kieran got to open the first gift because he is the youngest- I bet he was pretty excited!

Here's Kieran with his new bestie Camden- the little boy who moved in to our neighborhood over the winter break- Kieran was thrilled!

We (mostly Rick) helped move Camden's family into their new home. Here the boys enjoy some cookies after all that hard work ;)

Kieran made a couple of darling ornaments at KIM- love the use of Popsicle sticks!

Fingerprint snowmen- so darned sweet!

Kieran likes to sit at the counter with us and "help" with the computer.

We got to go out for New Year's eve this year- Sandy was kind enough to come over and sit for Kieran and stayed LATE so we could ring in the new year at Eastside Tavern!
