No More Crib

Well...the time has come to move Maddon out of his crib. Surprisingly, he made it longer than Mason did. He started to attempt to escape though, so we moved him into the toddler bed. He seems excited about the change so we'll see how it goes!

New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve this year was a busy one. We were both off this year, because it fell on a Saturday, so we tried out three different kids countdowns in the area. Our first stop was the Bubble Bash at the DuPage Children's Museum. The kids had fun playing and participating in themed activities. They had cookie decorating, a few different crafts, and music playing. Maddon loved the bubble machines! Then at noon there was a countdown with mini beach ball drop!

Our second stop was the NYE celebration at Legoland. That place is always a hit with our kids so add a balloon drop and you've got yourself a celebration!

Our last stop was the NYE celebration at Rainforest Cafe. The kids got treat bags, dinner off of a special buffet, and a cider toast. There was also a balloon drop there! Mason even got to meet Cha-Cha!

Indiana Christmas

We took a road trip to Indiana to celebrate Christmas with Grandma and Papa Miller and Auntie Randa. The boys love going there to visit and get so excited to see Randa since they don't get to play with her very often. They had so much fun seeing everyone and playing there and, of course, are home with more presents!

Merry Christmas

Once again, Santa did not disappoint the Miller boys! They woke up Christmas morning to find a trail of glittery snowflakes leading to a tree surrounded by presents. The boys had a great time opening their gifts and playing a bit before Grandma, Papa, Erica, and Tyler came over to celebrate even more. They are some lucky little boys!

Happy St. Nicholas Day

Our boys still put out their shoes every year for St. Nicholas to fill them with goodies. This year they were filled with popcorn and some new movies and blankets! 

Fun in the Snow

We finally got some snow and the boys were so excited! They played for a long time swinging, making snow angels, and even a snowman!
