One late night, the kids weren't tired so we took them to the ship's bathrobe party. Collin was selected to be our team capitain (red team) so we spent the next two hours dancing and singing and doing the congo line all over the ship. People on our team danced with Collin, gave him high-fives, hoisted him on their shoulders, pretty much made him feel like a celebrity. Our team ended up winning the competition and Collin got a trophy. He was so proud! The blue team capitain also got a trophy which she decided to give Sydney. For the rest of the cruise, people we didn't know would come up to the kids and say "Hi Collin and Sydney".

Christmas Eve
Build-A-Bear
Sydney has been begging for a Build-A-Bear lately. Grandma Jo was kind enough to give her one for Christmas and we were able to go build it with her while in Vegas. Collin had such a great time helping Sydney that he decided he would wish for one for Christmas, too. (Good thing Santa was able to pull that one off last minute.)

Family Rock Band
So we finally decided to buy Rock Band. We had been waiting for a long time and Jay found a deal the other day. Jay and I thought it would be a fun way to spend some winter evenings together. The thing is, Collin and Sydney love it too and are surprisingly good at it! We had a family jam session tonight (if you can call it that, ha, ha, ha). ROCK ON JIMMY BUFFETT!

More Halloween

Halloween Carnival
Shannon, Dresden and Logan joined us at our school's Halloween carnival. Sydney and Collin, though in a bit of a grumpy mood in the picture, had a great time with their cousins. Collin wanted to be something very scary this year so we decided the grim reaper would be okay. Sydney also wanted to dress up as something scary so she was a vampire or the bride of Frankenstein or spider lady, or ... she couldn't really make up her mind.

Mmmm...Spaghetti
However, every time we have it, a noodle ends up in that hard-to-describe place somewhere between Sydney's nose and throat and we have to get her to blow it out or clear it out some other funny way all while she is panicking and crying.
No matter how much we encourage her to eat slowly, this happens every time we have spaghetti!
