Christmas - Throw Back

Hard to believe that I can get behind... HA!  I did want to post a few more pics from Christmas that I haven't gotten around to sharing.  We were fortunate enough to make the journey to San Antonio to celebrate with the Dieckman's and Oma & Opa.  It was nice to spend time with family!

 The Bures' tradition of decorating Oma's famous sugar cookies.  This year we added jell icing which lead to many creative but GOOEY cookies.  Micah enjoyed some time on mamma's lap while Victoria enjoyed moving amongst the table with her baby & stroller.    

 Oma & Opa got the kids Christmas PJs.  Trying to get a picture of all of them wearing the PJs was another challenge since Micah refused to wear his.

 For some spontaneous fun, we had a dance contest.  I think the winner was Shane with his version of the worm!

 Shake it, twirl, kick it.... whatever you got!

 It's gift time!  It was hard waiting.

 We went to the San Antonio Zoo for a day's outing.  Feeding the birds towards the end was fun.  I was worried that Victoria wouldn't even go it.  But she was 'safe' in Oma's arms.

We are the Champions!

 On March 15th, we finally broke the record for the most snow fall in Boston... 108.6 inches.  But it didn't stop there.  We even got snow on the 1st day of Spring.  So far our total is 110.3 inches.  With a bit of warmer weather in the past few days and rain, alot of snow has been melting.  We however will still have snow for Easter.  I'm just trying to imagine hunting for Easter eggs amongst the snow.  Before all the snow melted, a few pictures has to be taken to document just how much fell.

February School Vacation Week

 Unfamiliar to me is the concept of February (and upcoming April) school vacation week.  Many families go on vacations during this time.  Others stay home and enjoy time / activities in the area.  Oma was able to visit to help with Izzy during the day while I was at work.  They had a busy week even if they stayed within a few block radius of home.

One cute place close to me is a children's puppet theater.  Izzy & Oma took up a show which I heard about later being very cute.

 One night Izzy lost one of her front teeth.  The following night she lost the other.  It was pretty cool because the tooth fairy came for 2 teeth at the same time!

 The 1st day of school back from vacation was the 100th day of school.  The assignment was to bring 100 of something.  Izzy helped me create this t-shirt which has exactly 100 jewels on it.  She wore it proudly the next day.

 Something that has turned into a tradition is going to Disney on Ice with my good friend Kiran and her daughter Lelah.  This year's Disney on Ice was Frozen.  Kiran got tickets for this in July.   At that point she said ~50% of the seats were already sold.  We had an amazing view from where we sat which made the girls all that more excited.

Bath time fun with three.

The kids were fascinated by putting these on their fingers... especially Victoria.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Izzy was definitely in the St. Patty's Day spirit.  She thought very hard about her outfit even making sure her socks were green.  I had bought some accessories for all the kids to wear.  That night they spent time digging through the bag picking out what they liked.  Micah loved the headband with shamrock bobbles.  But he refused to wear it past then and so no pictures.  I tried to put stamps on their hands which only lead to crying.  So I had to wash them off.  Izzy had a great day at school with many commenting about her outfit.  She was excited to let people know she was part Irish thanks to her Oma.
