Baltimore Science Museum

We have been wanting to head back to the Baltimore Science Museum for over a year now. Last time we went was about two years ago and had so much fun. We finally made it up during the holiday break as Omer finally took some days off. We were not expecting to be, but we were there for over 4 hours. Talk about fun, exhausting fun, but major fun!!!! They loved the dinosaurs, Newton experiments (especially the pulley system), the anatomy section (we were there forever), and space...oh and the kid play zone. Okay they loved it all!!! It is a phenomenal museum and love going to explore and see the kids light up in amazement. 

Oh yes, I made Omer put on the act like you are preggy shirt. TeeHee

Holiday Photos

Here is just a small sampling of what else happened during our Holiday break. 

Go Skins!

Boys with the Big Town Tree

Owen saved up his money and gift cards to buy Skylanders. He has never been obsessed about a game until now. Wow does he love this game; we will need to monitor this amount of time now. But have to save pretty fun and Omer is super excited to get to finally play video games with his boys.

Owen got a much desired telescope from Grandma. He actually opened it and said "Finally what I really wanted." The first clear night he was out there gazing at the night sky. He found the north start and big dipper. Then he went inside to draw a picture of his sightings. Very cool!!!

Aiden is my little sous chef. He really likes to cook with me and his very helpful. He is saying yummy.

Aiden had some sword play in the castle. He took his protecting job very seriously.

My Family Christmas Celebration

I hosted the majority of my family the day after Christmas, total of 15 of us. It felt like a big Christmas celebration, just like it should be. The boys had a great time playing with their grandparents and cousins. We enjoyed spending time with the family and a huge meal. The presents is always a little crazy because so many, luckily my family got smart last year and we started doing Secret Santa for the adults. It was a great time by all....even if it took us all night and the next morning to catch up on dishes.  HeeHee

Owen immediately wanted to show PawPaw his helicopter

This is the beginning of all the present opening. 

Mom, I put this one in....remind you of anyone...Eek!!!

Going through his pirate chest. Argh!

 Omer's fancy phone can take a panoramic picture...pretty cool

SNOW! SNOW! SNOW!

We have had two very small snows, but we will take them and hope for more. We got a little on Christmas Eve and then about an inch the day after Christmas. We were super excited and very surprised with snow. Now after last year where we got nothing all winter, the boys have been very eager for some fluffy white stuff. Of course it did not amount to much but we still had lots of fun; well until the snowball fight got out of control.

Aiden really wanted a snowman but the snow really only fell and melted when it hit the ground. But Omer made him a pretend one. Aiden LOVED this

Then the boys enjoyed pretending to knock down the snowman

 Aiden loved riding his big wheel down the hill.

The boys really wanted to make a snowman but of course there was not enough. So Daddy made them two small ones. Owen decorated his face with blueberries.
