Hille Happenings-January

January has been a great month. We have all been healthy and enjoying activities outside and inside.

I love organizing and I started organizing Noel's room. We bought 2 cubbie units to store all her new toys. They are the perfect height for Noel to play with her princess castle and her dollhouse.

 Mike snowboarding at Navarino Hills.

My first time snowboarding ever. I ended up falling and bruising my tail bone.

Mike and I enjoying time together at Navarino Hills.

The kids and I love Brach's Cherry Hearts every Valentine's Season.

Getting ready to leave for the morning. The kids both have monkey hats to keep them warm during all these super cold days. One morning my mini van said -14 degrees. Wow!

Made my first home made pie ever. Blueberry of course.

The kids love the Little Critter books by Mercer Mayer. Such cute books to read.

 Noah loves to make tents in the living room lately. Noel loves to hide in them.

Mike went grocery shopping with the kids while I scrapbooked/blogged and he surprised me with flowers! I am such a lucky girl! Thank you Mike! I love you very much!

 

As you probably have noticed, I only blog once a month now and have been for a while now. I love looking at each month's highlights! Keeping it real.

2012 was a great year!

I have to say 2012 was a great year!

Our kids are growing so fast

Noah and Noel in January 2012:

Noah and Noel in December 2012:

As you can see in both photos, Noel isn't looking at the camera. She loves to take off her shoes.

The time I was able to get Noel to look at the camera, Noah was showing me his "mad" face (pout lip). We tried. They both look cute anyway for Christmas Eve Mass.

Noel received a princess castle for Christmas. Love her Reindeer Jammies!

 Noah received a cement mixer and a grader for Christmas! He loved wearing his Santa Jammies as much as possible.

Noah and Noel love playing with their kitchen set. Noah loves putting all of Noel's ponies on top. His John Deere Tractor is not too far from him either.

Noel reminds me of Winnie the Pooh with her hand in the jelly jar! Noah gave this jar to her and when I walked back in the kitchen, I just laughed out loud. Crazy kids!

Noel caught red handed in the jelly jar! If we give her crackers with jelly, she licks all the jelly off the crackers and puts the crackers in her cup holder! At least she is organized about it.

Uncle Mike and Aunt Janet bought Noel Minnie Mouse with bows that velcro on and can be worn by Noel too. Noel was having lots of fun putting the bows in her hair. Mike and Janet, this one's for you!

 Mike made Noah a race track in our backyard so Noah can ride his 4 wheeler around even with all this snow!

Noah and Papa getting creative in the snow!

Here is my favorite photo from 2012! Our sweet little family! Love!

 

We hope 2013 is a great year too! Happy New Year!
