The Many Adventures of the Aichele Monsters: Christmas and Beyond!

So it is the middle of January and I still haven't posted about Christmas...So here it is. The pictures seem to be more fun for me to post and they are easier than writing a whole long story:)
Kiddo update:
Ace-He is almost completely potty-trained but we still are working on getting him through the night. He is talking sooo much! He is a very funny little guy. "Wangampo...Anai" He learned this from Pukeahontous (Pocahontas) and says it quite often. It means Hello...Goodbye. He has really been into Disney movies lately and loves to "snuggle with banket and have snack" while we watch them. I am soaking up all this because before you know it that little guy will be in school:( He had a Pre-school screening last week (I think we are still going to wait until 2014 to send him though) and the ladies were so impressed! He had a vision test, hearing and they watched how he played with toys. I am loving being the mama of this little guy.
Gentry-She has been working on tying shoes. She does a pretty good job but gets frustrated fast. So we do it just a few minutes a day so she doesn't get too upset about it. She also had been really into spelling out words. So she will say how do you spell "Megan"? (This is what she asks to be called at home...not sure why) and I will say "Okay lets sound it out" and she smiles and goes forth with figuring it out. She is just a little genius in my opinion.! She is like a sweet tart...such a sweet little gal but has a kick of sassyness that comes:) Love her!
