Happy New Year!

What a funny practical joke....we send out Christmas cards and give everyone the blog address so they can follow along with all our day-to-day life happenings and then we haven't posted anything all year long :).  Oops.  It's been a fun start to 2012 and I guess we've just been too busy enjoying it to be taking pictures of it.

So here's a few snapshots to show you what we've been up to....

Just before Christmas, we headed to the Discovery Center in Pierre for a birthday party....all four of the kids had a blast exploring the place











(FYI, Corey isn't holding Kennedy like a suitcase...just holding the headphones on her little head for her!





 Every weekend when Corey comes home from the Senate, he brings surprises for the kids (often times this is one of the various items they receive from the lobbying groups....keychains, cotton candy, teddy bears and travel mugs have been faves in previous years).  This week he had stopped at Walmart and found some Valentine's Day colored candy corn...to say that it was a hit with Madison and Kennedy is a huge understatement!  They grabbed the container and ran with it!  (contrary to our normal pattern, Madison is on the left in these photos....)




And just proving true that all kids need to be happy is a cardboard box....we ordered some chairs for our play table in the basement and the kids decided it was far more fun to sit in the boxes than on the new chairs!






We hope everyone else's New Year is off to as fantastic a start as ours is.  Perhaps our resolution should involve something about updating the blog more regularly!  Til next time.....
