Move Over Martha

Lily loves her jewelry and purse she got from Uncle Clint and Aunt Karen. She loves getting all glammed up!

Lily was so excited to finally us her Easy Bake Oven. She made Sugar Cookies for her and the boys. The kids thought they were yummy. Brandon and I declined to try them and decided to take the kids word for it. Move over Martha....

Gabe Gets His Cast Off

Gabe has been looking forward to Dec. 29th for the past 4 weeks. He was a bit nervous on how they were going to take it off. He did amazing. I gave Brandon the camera and told him to take pictures for his memory box. But instead we got the pictures and his cast. So we wrapped up his cast in plastic and put it in his box. He is so proud of his cast.

Christmas Visit To Fredonia 12/27

We went to Fredonia to see Brandon's family after the visit with my mom. We went to see Papa and visited with him for a while. It was great to see him and spend sometime with him. We received an awesome video camera (it's the size of a blackberry). After we got it I started video taping so I have Papa on video with the kids. We all loved our gifts we received. The kids are looking forward to Papa coming down to see us real soon.

After our visit with Papa we got the chance to see Clint, Karen and Joshua (plus Roxy and Riley their adorable dogs). The kids got some wonderful gifts from both Clint's family and Tami's family. The kids had fun with Joshua and his huge dinosaur collection. It's always fun to see Clint and Karen. They're a fun couple to be around and a lot of laughs!

Christmas 2009 With William & Paige 12/27

My mom and Big Colin had a little Christmas Party with some of the grand kids. The kids were so excited to see their cousins. Lily got Paige a Baby Alive doll and the boys picked out cars for William. Lily really misses Paige and kept following her around the house. Very nice to see everyone.

Nana bought Paige a new outfit and bought the girls sparkle shoes.

Christmas 2009 With Mom & Colin

My mom and Big Colin came over to celebrate Christmas with our family. We had a wonderful time with them.

We had a great time playing Bop It (Gabe got it for Christmas).

Christmas Morning

Before the kids went to bed on Christmas Eve we told them that we would not go downstairs until 7 a.m. They woke up with anticipation at 6 a.m. and came into our room every 10 minutes to see what time it was. Finally at 7 a.m. we went downstairs. The kids were so excited to see that Santa had come and judging from all the gifts they were not on the naughty list this year.
