Fun Filled Weekend

 Uncle Jared Berniger came to town this weekend!  Dadam had a few finals to work on over the weekend so we took Uncle Jared to the Phoenix Children's Museum and baked cookies all day!  The kids had a wonderful time going from room to room working on different activities and projects. 

 Amelia liked getting out of the stroller and participating along side the big kids!!

 Shopping was the highlight of the museum for the kids.  They were able to participate in each part of the grocery store from shopping to restocking the shelves :)  After we finished playing at the museum Uncle Jared bought the kids an treat and we went and replaced Alex's shoes that broke at the museum!!

 Sunday Best

We had our final Sunday of the year here in Arizona!  The kids dressed up for the occasion! 

Uncle Jared and Dadam took a break from studying and finals to attend the Cardinals vs 49ers football game at the University of Phoenix Stadium.  The game was a fundraiser for Aspergers and they had a tailgate party inside the stadium before the game.  The game was great fun and the guys enjoyed themselves immensely!!

 Alex's habilitation worker Ms. Lacey brought Alex a gift on Friday to say Merry Christmas.  They gift was also a project for them to work on together.  They built and colored a wooden boat.  Alex was over the moon excited when he saw that Ms. Lacey had finished the boat and he could now play with his ship!

 Nanee sent her Christmas gifts with Uncle Jared.  Once the football fans returned from the game the kids were able to open their presents.  Amelia went first and she really didn't understand the concept of opening the package.  She was just fine with getting her candy off of the package.  Once the kids gave her a little help she was all for participating.  She received a puppy from Nanee that barks and moves his head and tail.  The best part was that she was excited to have a dog, but once it started moving and making noise she became extremely scared.  She will only let it me on for a few minutes and she lectures it about being nice!!

 Alex opened his gift second and was over the moon excited to get a Pirates of the Caribbean boat with characters.  He has been engrossed for the past three days playing with it :)

 Addison was worried about her package being so small until she opened her gift and saw that she had been given her very own IPod Touch!  She has been given the list of rules and expectations and it enjoying her gift a lot.

Adam waited for everyone else and then quickly hopped in the chair to open his gift.  Legos were the theme this year and he has been building his new Star Wars ships the past few days.  

The kids had a fun time and by the end of the weekend Mommy was beat :)
