Christmas Eve!

On Christmas Eve, we met Grammy, Grampy and Auntie K at church and then we went back to Grammy and Grampy's house for presents and dinner. The girls started opening presents as soon as we got there. They got a new shopping cart, so now they have two and hopefully they won't fight over them as much.

Next they opened a magnidoodle.

Kiley loved it!

Presley wanted to see what it was all about.

They also got a fun table and chairs.

Yay, something else for Presley to climb on.

The girls made out big time at Grammy and Grampy's house!

Grammy made a delicious prime rib dinner. After dinner, we loaded up to go home to get the girls in bed so that Santa could come!

Early Christmas with Mycah and Josh!

Josh was going to be with his family over the Christmas weekend, so we celebrated with them the Thursday before. This is a picture of the presents under the tree (with a few extra toys). I know that our tree was not very exciting this year, but we had just moved, so we did minimal Christmas decorations.

The girls opening their present from Josh and Mycah.

Presley got a new outfit!

What else is in there?

This expression is priceless!

Now let's help Josh and Mycah open their gifts.

DVDs!

Aunt M has another one.

One more for Josh.

We made a great mexican dinner and watched a Christmas movie in the media room after the girls went down. It was a great celebration!

Santa at Daddie's work!

Every year, we go see Santa at Daddie's work. Mommy and Presley waiting for Santa.

Each child gets a gift and then we donate one to the Children's hospital. Kiley got a stuffed animal and she was so excited.

I was trying to get a picture of Presley's Christmas jumper, but she would not stay still. This is the best I got.

This is a fun picture of all of the Summer '04 boys' girls. Charlotte is Michael and Katie Belvin's. Then Kiley and Presley. Summer is Sara and Brandon Rhine's and on the far right is Felicity who belongs to Ashley and Justin Cleveland.

The girls in Daddie's office.

Santa, Mickey & Minnie!

Earlier in December, we took the girls to see Santa, Mickey and Minnie! Santa was great, but Mickey and Minnie were a hit with Kiley. She loves to watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and now she got to see them in real life! This was their picture with Santa.

Kiley seeing Minnie for the first time.

Kiley with Mickey. Notice her Minnie ears.

Best picture we got of the 4 of them. Presley wasn't too sure about these large characters.

The organization, Especially Needed, put this on and it was a great idea!

Kiley with Mickey and Minnie Mouse

Holding Minnie's hand

It was so funny. Kiley would go see Santa, and then run right back into where Mickey and Minnie were.

Thanksgiving 2011

Mom and Dad hosted Thanksgiving this year at their house. We had so much fun spending a long weekend with the family.

Aunt Lisa brought the girls a Little People Nativity Scene and they loved it!

Presley liked to see how many of the animals she could hold at once.

Kiley in her rocking chair.

The girls showing Daddie and Guy their new toy.
