Christmas 2009

This year Christmas was so much fun. The kids were so excited and all they could talk about was Santa and when he was going to come visit. Even Brianna was calling Santa HO HO. I loved watching them open their gifts and how excited they got. Sean was so cute because even when I was opening up stuff he would come over to see if I liked them. We celebrated with Greg's family and had such a good time. We hope you all had a merry christmas.

Christmas Party

So the kids had a wonderful Christmas Party with their little friends and family from Preschool. It was so cute. They all got dressed up and we had some great food. Then the kids put on reindeer ears and sang some awesome christmas songs. It was fun to watch Sean singing the whole time and doing exactly what he's suppose to. Where Brianna was wondering around and always trying to be in the front, but did an excellent job of dancing and trying to sing. They were all so cute. They had Santa come and Santa gave them all a gift. Sean sat on Santa's lap but Brianna would only talk about HO HO but would not sit on his lap. Sean got a remote control car that he broke the next day(of course) and Brianna got a doll that is bigger than her. It was cute because for that next week she took it everywhere with her and just dragged her around. Christmas is so much fun with kids and to see how excited they get. I also threw in some pictures from the ward christmas party where they kids loved running around and dancing.

Catching up on November

Well I have been slacking and have not blogged forever. So I will try and catch you up on everything.

7. Ever since Thanksgiving Sean has been asking to decorate for Christmas so the first week of December we got out all the decorations and decorated the house. It was so cute to see both Brianna and Sean trying to help and put the ornaments on the tree. All Sean could talk about was Santa coming and what batman presents he's going to get. Also Bri has now learned how to say HO HO from us talking about Santa seeing all the decorations as we drive around. My kids love to go look at all the lights and decorations. I think this is Sean favorite holiday which is funny because its one of my favorites too. I just wish we could go see the snow but only for a few days and then back to luke warm California.

6. So after Thanksgiving we went up to visit Greg's parents where we got brave and took family pictures. It was fun and the kids did so well for how cold it was and windy it was. Here are some cute pictures we got and see how funny the kids were. At the end of the photo shoot they got to go ride some rides and six flags and they were in heaven, they love that place. It was so funny because we tired to have Brianna go on the train roller coaster with Sean but she screamed the whole way and only made it around once and then they had to let her off because she was making all the kids upset.

5. For Thanksgiving we did something totally new and went to the fire station for Thanksgiving. so Greg had to work Thanksgiving so all the families of the fire fighters met up at the fire station and had a huge feast and the kids got to run around, play in the fire truck and pretend to be fireman. They loved it after running around all day. It was so cute because Sean snuggled up in their big recliners with his blanket and watched a movie he loved it. Also i have never see Brianna be so outgoing and friendly and playing with the fireman, it was a fun new experience.

4. Going to the wild animal park and the San diego Zoo with friends and cousins. My friend Amber and her kids and my cousin Amber went to wild animal park and they have boys right around Sean and Brianna's age so they had a blast running around and playing with their friends. Bri kept up with the boys so well, she was the only little girl. Her favorite part was petting the animals. Then two days later my cousin from Utah came out with his family and we all went to the San Diego zoo where we got to see these awesome polar bears playing and swimming together. We love having people out to visit and playing with friends.

3. Still bike riding in october because it was so nice and warm in october and we were loving it. Sean does so good at riding his bike now and can keep up with us and even ride up hills and down hills by himself. Im amazed at how big he is getting. Brianna is talking so much her favorite word is "no" and she can say more, up, and food. It is so cute. She is so cute and fun.

2. I passed my big test so I am officially a diabetes educator(thanks greg for watching the kids so I can study) I am so impressed with mom's that go back to school while the kids are young.

1. Brianna officially can go to nursery but of course I can't not get her to go but well keep trying.

I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas!! Love The Mcclellan's

Halloween 2009

Halloween was so much fun this year. Sean was old enough to decide what he wanted to do and Brianna was so cute trying to go up to people and ask for candy. She is starting to talk so much and it is so cute. She tries to copy her brother so much. I love to watch them. We went out friday night for a church trunk or treat and saturday we visited greg at the fire station, then we went trick or treating with some of are friends and they had a blast. This year we tried something new that my friend told me about so we let the kids pick out 10 candies and then the rest they put in a bag in their pumpkin and that night the switch witch came and brought them a new toy. So Sean was up at five in the morning looking for his gift, it was cute and totally forget about the candy. Thanks for the great idea.

Video of Sean and Brianna

Not much has changed but I have these really cute pictures of the kids and just wanted to show how big they are getting and so cute. Brianna finally has enough hair to do two side pony tails it is so cute. Also I have this awesome video of Brianna trying to water the porch and Sean fighting the hose with is sword. They are so cute.

Arizona Trip

So me and the kids packed up last weekend and headed out to Arizona to visit some of our friends. Sorry we couldn't see everyone. We had so much fun. I forget how hot it gets in Arizona, you guys are crazy that live out in Arizona I was dying. We had so much fun staying with Regan and Nate and their baby boy Winston. Brianna loved Winston and kept trying to play with the baby. Sean was in love with the puppies. Everyday he would go out and play with this one black puppy that was his favorite, it was so cute to watch. Regan had this awesome pool that was 1' 6" deep so Bri and Sean could both touch and just walk around. Even Brianna could walk the whole way around. It was so cute.  The kids were even really good on the drive. Someone told me if you start them out young with driving long distance they get use to it and don't know any difference. I agree. Lately Sean has been asking where were going this weekend and wanted to pack up his toys to go visit someone. If you debated about driving somewhere with your kids get portable dvd player and try it, oh and bring actual wrapped presents that helps when they get restless. 

Professional Pictures

So we got crazy and took the kids to go get professional pictures. I was nervous but they did really well. I was impressed and we got some really cute pictures. I love all the fun faces that Sean was making and Brianna was all smiles. Check out how cute they are.
