Mall of America outing and New Years Eve!

I've been taking a lot of photos on my phone lately so here's another phone photo 'dump'!  There are a bunch of miscellaneous photos as well as photos from a fun Mall of America adventure and a great kid friendly New Years Eve party!  Enjoy :)
 
This was taken the morning of our Loveland Family Christmas celebration!

 
 This was taken when we got home from the Loveland Family Christmas.  Chelsea immediately wanted to play with some of her new dress up clothes!

Ben sitting down to put together Chelsea's Barbie Dream house.  It took him a few hours, but it eventually came together.

Ben had to work a half day on New Years Eve Day, but I was able to take the kiddos out to the Mall of America to bum around in the morning.  Chuck, Andi, Maddie and Dannie met us there and we had a great time!
 
 
Food court!  We purchased enough food to feed an army!

 
Look at all that greasy, yummy goodness!  It was a wonderful splurge!

 
Chelsea was very happy after lunch

 
Tyler too!

 
Chuck and his girls!

 
Time for the older girls to run around the mall!

 
And off they go!

 
Andi supervising :)  It was great having three adults to the four kids.  The kids were able to explore and play a little more than they would've otherwise.

Off they go again!

 
the girls were very fascinated with the dinosaur store
Dannie wanted out of her stroller!


 
Tyler was content to stay in his stroller while we walked the mall

 
Sleepy boy!

So cute!



Ben and I were planning on staying in on New Years until a kid friendly last minute party happened about two miles away from our house!  My friend Kelly threw the party and we had such a great time!   We put Tyler to bed upstairs around 7 and Chelsea stayed up playing until 10!!!  I can't believe she stayed up that late.  We headed home around 10 and were barely up past midnight :)

Some of the kiddos hanging out!

Happy New Year!

 
My drink of choice and Diana's!  I bet you can't guess which one is mine?! :)

Chelsea started preschool at Montessori in Corcoran this past week.  She will be going on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  I asked her several times what she wants to be when she grows up and she insists on being Minnie Mouse.

 
Chelsea excited for her first day


 
We made a ham on Christmas Day and saved the bone.  I pulled it out of the freezer this week to make a ham soup.  So yummy!

 
Tyler painting his Christmas Thank you notes.  What a disaster, all he wanted to do was eat the paint!



 
Time for a bath!
