Santa arrived at Nathan's school the on the 19th and he was so excited about it! He finally sat on Santa's lap (and he didn't scream or cry) and told him what he wanted for Christmas. I have a great picture of it. The 6th graders at his school buy presents for the Kinders and then help then open and play with them. It's great for both sets of kids to get to do this. Nathan really had a great time with his 6th grade buddy.
The entire family had a wonderful Christmas and got lots of great stuff! The girls will have toys to play with until they are 3! People have just been so generous and we want to thank you for loving our children. Nathan has so many toys that we are going to try and ask for gift cards and clothes for his birthday. I think if everyone brought a toy we'd have to buy another house to give them all a home. We do plan to go through all of his stuff and donate to charity what he can live without.
The girls really had no idea what was going on at Christmas except they were exhausted!! Poor things just got too tired from all the hustle and bustle.
The patio has yet to be finished and we are hoping that shortly after the new year it will be finished and we can possibly host a small party to celebrate the house and it's completion with friends and family. We got a fire pit for Christmas and are dying to try S'Mores with the kids.
I almost forgot to tell you about our trip to Sea World San Diego. Thanksgiving was almost a complete disaster when Nathan and Tara woke up sick Wednesday morning before our trip to Sea World for the Thanksgiving Holiday. San Diego also saw record rainfall on our first day at the park. Both kids recovered pretty quickly from being sick, it stopped raining just in time to enter the park, and we ended up having a pretty awesome trip. We got to have breakfast with Santa and Shamu, fed, trained, and pet a dolphin, had a close up encounter with a few penguins (got to pet them and go into their enclosure), make Christmas cookies, saw and fed so many more animals (including a camel and a reindeer). It was a trip of a lifetime!!! Here are a few pictures...
It looks to be a busy month. Nathan is so excited about the cabin trip, skiing and his birthday. Hope everyone had a great holiday season and we look forward to a great (and less hectic) New Year! God Bless.
Just a few things coming up for the Dunn Clan in the near future...
December 30th - Kami has surgery. Pray that all goes as expected.
January 5th - Nathan and Kami go back to school & work. WooHoo!
January 7th - The girls will have their 6 month check up. Can you believe that they are already so old? Geez, it went quickly!
January 16th - Annual Dunn trip to the cabin in Shaver Lake. I'm looking forward to seeing how the girls react to the snow...hope there is some at the cabin when we arrive.
January 25th - Look for invitations for Nathan's 6th Birthday Party (Pump It Up) to arrive shortly. 6 years? Where does the time go?
