Merry Christmas to All!

Santa Came To Visit Our House...

The girls had their bath, put on their new pajamas and then we put out cookies and milk for Santa to come to our house for Christmas Eve Morning... Rylie had to get a little sip before she went to bed... Our traditional tune of Jingle Bells was playing as they came into the living room...




Katie and Rylie had made us their very own gifts and wrapped them themselves and just had to get a picture of us opening them...so sweet.

Then the girls got to open some gifts that Aunt Mary and Aunt Joni had sent them. Thank You!


This is an example of some of the wonderful ornaments Katie made for our tree!!

Movies with Aunt D...

This year for Christmas, Aunt D's gift to her great nieces and nephews were for the boys and Olivia: bowling AND for the girls and Caden: Princess and the Frog Movie. Then she took us to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. What a great time...thanks Aunt D!! Aunt D in the middle with her crew!!

Annual GNO 2009

This year for our family Girls Night Out, after a great meal at Holly's house we went to Mom's and we celebrated slumber party style with our traditional ornament exchange, but this year we added in a cookie exchange too. We had a great time...with games, prizes, fun, laughs and lots of talkin'!! The Girls!!

Rylie's 3rd Birthday Party

Happy 3rd Birthday, Rylie!!
We were supposed to have her party at the Christmas Tree Farm...but the rain, cold and wind made us move it to the house...and we had a craft party instead... The Birthday Girl!!
The girls doing some crafts...poor Jackson, Jonathan and Baby Gray were way out numbered!!

Aunt Mary couldn't wait to take over one of the crafts when the girls gave up!!! Haha!


Dora Cupcakes...Rylie just loves Dora...but make sure you say it with a long o!!

She got a little shy when it was time to blow out the candles...so Mommy had to help!
