explora!

we had fun showing dad all the cool stuff at explora, it was his first time there. Thanks to grandma tina we now have a year pass!! i'm so excited to go back, hopefully when it's not so crowded. ashleigh and elijah had a blast and would have stayed all day if they weren't so craby we would have let them. i think mario had the most fun just taking pictures. he took some really cool pictures.

this one's a remote control picture, something i got for christmas. it's so nice to actually be in a picture with you kids once in a while.

mario picture
not sure who took this on?

i took this one, i love this kid. he gets funnier every day.
a dad picture, i was too busy playing with the toys.
another remote picture, which mario set up the camera and some kid almost knocked it down.
mario was too busy with the bubbles so i got a turn taking pictures for once.

a mario picture, but elijah was the funny one mario just clicked the button.
and some really cool perspective ones by mario. i love that he loves taking pictures as much as i do. and he's so supportive with my little business. sometimes i think he's jealous he wishes he could just take pictures all day long.


we had a wonderful christmas and are so thankful for everything we got. and the kids we so excited to drive around and see all the family. they love all their grandmas, grandpas, aunts and uncles, and of course their cousins. we are so lucky to have so much family near to us.
