Christmas 2009

It's just what I always wanted...the same cute words with every gift opened!

Vivians first christmas...brought in with the gift of Diapers!



This Christmas was full of Thank you hugs and just enjoying each other. We are so blessed.

The annual Gingrerbread house!

We had a great time making our gingerbread house this year...needless to say it only lasted less than a day!

Suzanna came for a short visit

So we got to see Suzanna for a total of 6 hours...and 4 of those she was sleeping. It was great to see her and meet her friend Camden. We're glad to be used as a Hotel. Come and visit any time suz. We love you

Happy day before Christmas

We're getting excited here...

Our Attempt at the Man in Red

So Daddy's work provided a time to sit on Santa's lap...Abbi Elli and Vivian were OK with it but Gwyn wanted nothing to do with it. She only became semi cooperative when one of his helpers said a reindeer candy cane might be involved...the power of candy! However on the the way home Abbi was upset because she didn't get to sit on his lap and tell him what she wanted...I assured her he got her letter and already knew!

Decor

This one's for Alecia. My little sister is amazing she made me the Simplify sign isn't she amazing and talented....I had to attempt to be crafty too hence the FHE board.

Vivians first SNOW!

The girls were so excited to show Vivian her first snow they even let her take a taste! YUM

It's the little things

I love being a Mom it is the hardest and most wonderful job I've ever had!

Oh the weather outside is Frightful!

Yesterday school was let out early due to a blizzard coming into town...Today school was canceled completely. We took full advantage and did some sledding and shoveling!

Black & Gold

This Saturday we took the girls to a black and gold meet (Where the teams divide and play against each other both boys and girls) we had a blast the gym was packed so we got a front row floor seat! We even got to see Herky! Go Hawks!

The many faces of ABBI

You just have to love this girl. She just makes life that much better!

Finding the perfect ...

TREE
We had some pretty expert opinions on which tree to cut...it's practically perfect!
Let the count down to Christmas begin.

WARNING... Serious CUTENESS ahead!

The girls created amazing little beds out of our kitchen chairs and every pillow and blanket in the house and put Viv in the middle surrounded by bears...it was so cute. Then Vivian had her first bath with the "Big Girls" don't you just love all the little helping hands! She is growing so fast!

Thanksgiving festivities!

We did a little friend party and I was lucky enough to get the Thanksgiving Joy school party! I love making my girls smile!
