Guitar Hero



Sam and Mitch spent part of the day playing Guitar Hero so of course I had to learn how to play this game that the kids were infatuated with. The Grandpa jumped in and starting learning as well. Needless to say...neither one of us is going on tour in a rock band anytime soon!!!! But it was fun watching us TRY to play the game anyway. :)

Maier Christmas!!!




The Maier house was full of excited kids on Christmas morning. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and we had a huge breakfast before the festivities began. John and Isabelle had a ball opening presents....at one point John was just opening any present he could find...whether it was his or not. The kids received lots of toys, books, movies and even candy.

Does UPS send kids?????

Just kidding!! This was a cute picture of John and Izzie playing in a box that Mike brought home from work. OK....really John was playing in the box and we threw Izzie on top for a cute picture opportunity. Can you tell how thrilled John is????

Mother Nature HATES Wisconsin!!!


Well....here are some pictures of our recent snowstorm that occurred Thursday night into Friday. I believe we officially got 10 inches. I even went out there and plowed since Mike had to work all day yesterday. Can you imagine having to shovel this stuff???? We definitely will not have to worry about having snow for Christmas....in fact...does anyone out there need any??? You can have some of ours!!!

Collage ideas (for mom)


Here are the collages that I am getting of Isabelle. Both are 20 long by 10 wide. Mom...just pick out the pictures you want and let me know the largest size you would want and we can let Kendra run with it. She is awesome at creating collages. These she did entirely on her own with no input from me and I absolutely LOVE both of them.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!! We all love you a lot!! :) Yesterday her and her big brother John celebrated early by ripping the wall paper border off the wall in their bedroom. Mike walked in to shreds of wallpaper all over the floor and two small smiles and giggles from everyone!
