The Train Sets (from Craiglist)

Rianna and Justin love their train set. John and I expected Justin to play because it is a 'boy' thing. Unfortunately, it was Rianna playing with it. She just love the 'Thomas Train'. I got this set for $15.00 dollars off on craiglist. My next step was to get the train table which we did buy a few days later from craiglist for $50 dollars. That was their FINAL Christmas gift!

Aron's 2nd Birthday Party

Rianna and Justin went to their friend house for Aron's 2nd birthday party. The kids had a blast time with all of Aron's toys. They have known each other for a year and half now. We do hope their friendship continue for lifetime.

Parent-Tot Sport Class

Rianna and Justin are going to be so excited to be part of this new class at their Park District coming up next year. They will start their first class on February 21st of Saturday. It will go from 12:30 to 1:30 PM for 6 week.

This program gives you and your child an opportunity to bond and have fun together while learning a variety of sports. This class is great for simple motor skills such as catching, throwing, batting, shooting, passing, and anything that involves hand-eye coordination. Parents participate with their child as we play soccer, basketball, hockey, t-ball, and many other sports. Equipment provided. Contracted service taught by All Star Sports Instruction, Inc.

Thank you so much Papa!

Rianna & Justin

It is Official that Justin is....

climbing out of his crib!!!!!!! He just started it 2 days ago. We were hoping it was not going to be a repeated climber. He is getting out of his crib and then climb into Rianna's crib. He is also taking his pants and diapers off too. Uh-oh, I have struggled to get him to go down for a nap today as he kept climbing out. This is NO fun for us. We had to go out and buy some more of those childproof knobs. We have been struggling on how to keep their room warm as they have a very cold room. We cannot leave the door open because of our new climber. At this time they both share crib in the same room. John does not want to split them up into their own room yet. But I have a feeling we may have NO choice in the near future. Rianna is no where getting out of the crib yet. She can't even figure it out yet, thankfully! But she loves her nap.

The Twins Whacky Christmas Photo

This year we wanted to take the twins' for their Christmas photo. But we had some misfortunate with car repair this year. We just recently found out that my husband's Company is taking a nose dive with their sales. He is currently getting the 'salary cut' as economic has been suffering all over in the workplace. Anyhow......Here is some funny pictures to share~

Christmas Cookies

This is the first year that Rianna and Justin help Mommy make Christmas cookies. I am looking forward to a lifetime each holiday with making sugar cookies. The kids love the cookie dough!

The Sunday Brunch (The Twins Club)

We had a "Mom Day Out" at Hilton hotel called "Allgauer's" in Lisle. We had a blast time at our Sunday Brunch with lot champagne and food to eat from their buffet. We hope to do more of this after the holiday.

Landen & Ava's 2nd Birthday Party

Rianna & Justin went to Landen and Ava's 2nd birthday party at the Children's Museum in Naperville. They had such a great time there but only if I had someone to help out. They were going in opposite direction wanting to run and play.

The prettiest pink coat and boots

The Big Bed at Papa's House!

Mommy and Daddy were nervous about how they would be able to nap and sleep through the night at Papa's house for "Thanksgiving" weekend. We were exceptionally surprised that they both slept really good at night time. Rianna did well with all of her nap while we had to struggled with Justin to quit jumping around in bed.

We survived and they are back at home sleeping in their own crib again. Whew! I am not ready for the transition just yet. We will be redoing their bedroom in the Spring. By then they will probably be ready for the big bed again.

The New Pink Boots

Mommy and Daddy brought Rianna and Justin their new winter coat and boots. As you can see Rianna LOVE wearing her new boot every morning when she get up. She is known to hate being in front of the camera. I'll have to post a video of her.....she was so FUNNY!
