WE HOPE YOUR DAY IS FABULOUS!

Kindergarten Magic Show

Abracadabra! Abbi preformed her amazing "magic balloon trick" (this involves a balloon and 3 real needles!) It was pretty amazing!

Whirl Wind Weekend!

So we braved the winter weather to visit my Sister and her family in Indiana.

What some might call a bit of insanity...driving there Sunday morning as soon as Dan got off call and turning around and coming back the next day.

Abbi Alton and new baby Oliver!

(Abbi could not get enough of the baby she will make a great babysitter!)
Elli too wanted to just hold the baby...

Gwyn wanted to hold and kiss the baby...it was so fun to see Grandma for just a second!

The Hotel pool was the hit of the trip!

Gwyn sporting her soggy diaper...we were all out of swim diapers.

New Baby Oliver ...so precious!

The gang minus the dads.

Crazy whirlwind weekend but so worth it to see my Mom and Sister!

This is the girls about 10 min. after we got into the car for the drive home!

A picture can say a thousand words!

Thanks Marcie and Brian for being such great hosts...It was so fun to be with you!

So what have we been doing this month?

This is Elli's special talent...crossing her eyes. She loves to wear make-up

and so I dug deep into my bathroom drawers to find some old eyeshadow

she could play with. She cracks me up!

Gwyn is so hilarious ...she loves candy canes!

We had to do our annual gingerbread house...if for no other reason than to eat lots of candy!

Yes I swallowed my Pride and took the girls swimming.


They loved it! And it wasn't as horrible


as I always imagined it to be!(meaning me feeling like a small whale:)

Our "Clay Creations" So I found this homemade clay recipe that said you could

shape anything you wanted to, it would harden, then you could paint it...so we gave it a shot.

We made a ZOO!

Random game... unwrap the present while someone tries to roll doubles...it was

pretty funny.

Kindergarten Winter Party...Elli and I went to help out

with Abbi's party (that was postponed because of bad weather)

We made cute snowman hats and had a blast!

You just have to love this sisterly bond...Abbi is so good to her sisters!

This video is just for Grandpa Whitney... I love this one...We'll even book show's !

New Years Eve

So For New Years ...we decided to have a few friends over for some tasty eats and

some good ole fun (inspired by my many family parties planned by my sister JaNae truly a fun genius!)...We played create Frosty, light up the night, Don't eat Frosty, & we even had a snow ball throwing contest.

I personally had a great time...we counted down to 7:40 (I know we're party animals)

The Adults got in a good game of Apples to Apples (thanks Rob and Becky ) ...and everyone was off to bed by at least 9:30!
