Our Winter Happenings


Our winter has been full of cold weather, trips, and some firsts for us...

This winter was unseasonably cold and these Hawaii boys were shocked! Our boys still don't like jackets (we've learned to deal with pants, and that took awhile), so we spent a lot of time inside doing crafts and activities.

Every year, Abram asks to do a gingerbread house and this year we finally did one! It was fun to watch all three boys add their touches. It was a good activity to save for after the Christmas busyness and when it was freezing outside. 



Also, during the Christmas break, Abram had art camp at a local church so while he was gone, the boys had art camp, too! They made snowmen and winter trees. They absolutely love to paint! I love to see their excitement and creativity. 



Because of the extremely cold weather we had, we took a trip to Blue Springs State Park to see the manatees. They don't like cold water, so in the winter they head to the warmer water in the springs. The day we went they counted almost 500! 





After the manatees, we took a trip to Orlando to the Crayola Experience. It was crazy busy, but the boys had a great time! They had crafts to make and a huge play place.

A big thing that happened at Abram's school was that he was chosen as Kindergarten's  "Student of the Month" for January! We were super proud of him! We took him out to dinner to celebrate and of course he chose Chick Fil A!

Another first experience was taking all three boys to Disney World. When we went at Christmas we only took Abram, but once we figured it out, we felt good about taking everyone! It was such a fun, crazy, busy day! But it was wonderful to see all three of them experience it together!

Sweet brothers!


I love this picture of all of us!
This winter Abram had his 100th day of school.  He was able to dress like a 100 year old man and he also had to bring a collection of one hundred things. I think he looked adorable and his gum ball machine turned out super cute! 




Our last event of the winter was taking Abram to see the Monster Trucks! What a crazy (and loud) event. Abram loved to watch the trucks spin and flip. He is already asking to go back! 

Of course he had to wear headphones because of the noise!

Abram's favorite truck was "Zombie." 

Racing!

All the trucks lined up ready to go!

Flipping! Crazy!

Wer had a fun, eventful, busy winter but we are definitely ready for some warmer spring weather!
