They might as well call this "home"

It's almost like they live here.... but in reality, they don't. Lucky for us Shefali's brother doesn't mind they come to visit oh about every 3 weeks.......

We met up on the night they arrived for a quick dinner. It's so fun to see them. We all just pick up where we left off..

We took the boys bowling the other day, since it was raining. We met up with Kelly, Dylan, Kyle & Kyle. Everyone had so much fun. Austin scored 101 in one game and won!
It's so nice to have Eric home for the week. Austin and Kain really enjoy him too. They are helping Kain here handle his 6 lb. ball.. it was the smallest, but he had to have it!
Can you just hear Austin here, "Oh yeah"!
Kain patiently waits his turn
It was bumper bowling of coarse!
Thursday we met the crew for lunch at the Terrnea Resort. The place was packed, but it was an awesome day out.
Austin, Kain, Saachi & Shaan. They were all having such a blast together.
They loved hanging out by the fire pit.
look at that view.. from our table.
Simply breathtaking!
Kain loves to hang out with Shaan. He's 3, but Kain thinks he's pretty cool!
Austin and Kain checking out the view
3 little boys, Austin, Shaan & Shiv

Austin's Christmas Program

Tonight was Austin's Christmas program at the school. OMG, I just want to eat this kid up. He's been practicing at the house all day!

Kain was such a trooper-it was late, but he loved watching his brother. Not sure if he is bored or entertained here, but we had front row seats and this is how Kain sat the entire program.
Austin's best bud, Cody. (From Awana too)!
Can't forget Logan!

Aren't they sooo cute! Austin did a fantastic job. He was rewarded with LOTS of sweets. (Everyone had to bring in a treat to share)!

Oh and Santa arrived too. Of coarse Austin sat on his lap. Now he's telling him he wants a Sonic Race track. (NEVER heard that until tonight) Sorry, Santa is D.O.N.E!

Tis the Season... just dance!

Ok, so beware. This post is full of "laugh out loud footage"..... Seriously, it is Christmas yet?????????????Two Gingerbread houses were made tonight. one was eaten alive! (almost)

Austin is my little sports guy. Just put him in coach and he'll take care of the rest! (Eric is the Asst. coach). Kain is his side-kick!

Warm up
Pretty sure he's ready to play too.!
Pep Talk before the game

No. 52. He's so fast!!!
The Assistant Coach and his side kick!

Rainy day outside = play-doh at our house. (Hours of fun) I'm so serious!
Concentrating with his tongue out.

"Caught" Austin one morning making breakfast for him and Kain. Nutella and Peanut Butter--no crust.

EA Winter Wonderland/Awana Christmas

Last night was Eric's Christmas party at "Supper Club" it was a super hot, swanky club in Hollywood! His company never seems to fail on going all out for it's employees !

We had such a fun time--quite the experience. Like nothing I have ever been to before!
Those are helium balloons. They floated all over the room. And a very tall guy on stilts.
Also an acrobat in the air
This chair was walking around the club. We could sit on it if we wanted to.....
This one covered himself with shaving cream. It was kinda funny-we saw him walking around the club in his robe, until his skit came on.
Another awesome act. Seriously, this guy could twist about 4 of these around him all at the same time. (they glow in the dark too) as you can see.
Eric's buddies, Travis, (Eric) Tanner. (Travis is from Champaign, IL) Small world?
Beneard is Eric's boss. (the guy with the tie). He got everyone shots.. 30 of them. CHEERS!
This guy was rolling around the floor, he was lit up in christmas lights. It was pretty funny, he was lying on a skateboard and rolling himself all around the club.
Awesome candy table.
This is one of the EA employees announcing some prizes.
It was such a cool party! We haven't had that much fun in a long time. We have fun when we go out.. but this place was amazing! I was reading on the website that you have to be on a "List" just to get in line before getting in the door. EA rented the entire club out for the evening!

Today was a long day. Austin had soccer at (skills training)8am until Game (from 9-10)10am. It was 80 degrees.. very warm for December 12th, I went to work this afternoon. This evening I went to Austin's church to help wrap all the gifts that the kids bought with their "earned money". (The gifts we either hand made, donated or bought)They had to buy things for other people, IE-mom/dad/sibling. using their money they earned for learning their bible verses. (Austin earned $50) It was so fun.

Austin was so excited. He asked me if we could go to AWANA early tonight so he could sit in church and listen to them play the piano. How cute. After I dropped him off, I stood in the door-way where he couldn't see me and I watched him shake his head, kick his feet and try to sing along. (he was by himself-none of the other kids were in the church yet) It was the most precious moment. Wish I could have gone back in an hugged him just for a quick second. He loves being apart of Awana!

Tonight Austin "bought" presents for Mom, Dad, Kain and his teacher, Mrs. Beth. He told me tonight in the car what he got everyone as he was very excited. He said it is fun to buy things for people. He asked his teacher if he could buy a gift for Peyten, but they did not have any dog gifts. So I'm taking Austin to the store tomorrow to pick out a gift for Peyten.

Tonight was a lot of fun!!!

We wrapped all of these gifts. There were about 5 of us women helping out, wrapping, tagging, decorating the gift bags, while the older men sorted everything by name.

Cutest little Cubbie in the world!
