Christmas with the Johnston's 2011

 Christmas with the Johnston's this year was the Sat. after Thanksgiving!  We put the tree up and a few ornaments (placed as high as possible)!  The kids were so excited and loved all their sweet gifts from Grandma and Grandpa, Auntie Stacia and cousin Trevor!!!
Cambria and her new duckies!

Ainsley has definitely figured out how to open a present!

Her new BEST FRIEND Foofa (from Yo Gabba Gabba)!  It was love at first sight and she carries her everywhere!

Black Friday 2011

Nothing Black about this Friday, not a single store shopped at.  I'm sure we missed out on some deals, but nothing could beat the time we had at Morgan's Wonderland! It was absolutely beautiful out and there were very few people there.  Kyle and his family had never been, so I was excited to take them.  It was a very relaxing fun time for all! Maybe not all, Gavin got sick that morning (probably the same bug that Avalyn got at Sea World) and had to spend the day with Grandpa (Schaal) and his house.
Avalyn's been swinging alot at school!  She loves it just like I did when I was little!

This is part of the sensory village!  So much fun for everyone!
 Fun on the Train!

Love this sweet picture of Cambria!

 Snack and a little more swinging!
Every time we passed the carousel Cambria had to take a ride, usually several times in a row!  It's wonderful, they just let her.  She got to ride all the animals she asked to ride- I felt like we were on there all day.  She LOVES it, even after 3 times in a row before leaving she was still naming animals she wanted to ride!

 The Car ride- the kids love driving!
We spent an hour at the sand box and still had to pry them out of there they were having so much fun, while we sat around and watched!

 Making music with Grandma and Grandpa!
 We ended our day wet at the water table!
It was a great day, the kids were wonderful!  Only one scare, when Cambria launched beluga whale into the lake (he wanted to go swimming).  It was a traumatic 20 min. (no pictures) while he floated to the other side to land on a bank where the train conductor was able to pick it up and give it to Kyle.  I am so glad the whale floats and there was plenty of wind!  She screamed the entire time for her precious beluga whale and we were all thrilled to have him back!
