We exchanged gifts with Nana and Pops tonight and the girls were thrilled with their Barbie Dreamhouse. It has all kinds of bells and whistles!!!

Visiting with family

Today we had a visit from mommy's family. We don't get to see them very often so we were really excited. This is pops with his sister Emily.














Dennis, Emily, Laura and the girls.












Here we are with our cousin Laura.






The weather was so pretty outside that Lacey decided to take her bed and toy to the yard and take a sunbath. I made her wake up for a quick picture!

sick on Christmas Eve?

Well, Bethany woke up today with a stomach bug. She has now been sick at
Christmas two years in a row!! Fortunately as the day went on she began feeling better and by evening was her spunky self again! We'll see if it lasts!!

Last night was the Christmas party at the Lovan's. It was lots of fun and Santa even made a surprise visit! There were over 20 kids at the party and most of them sat on his lap. There were a few(including Bethany) who decided against it! After Santa left the kids exchanged their books. It was lots of fun!

So we decided to go see Santa.
Baylee was very excited. As you can
see, Bethany was not thrilled and
kept saying..."I don't like Santa!!!!"
Oh well, the picture speaks for itself!

Bethany and Scooter enjoyed having some cookies together after the performance!!!

The Christmas season is officially off and running! Last night was the Park Place Christmas program and the girls had lots of fun. Bethany was a little shy but Baylee was ready to go! She was the narrater for her class and she did a great job! Mommy, daddy, Nana and Pops were all very proud!

Well, it's that time of year again
when mommy gets even crazier
with the camera to try and get
"the perfect" picture for our
Christmas cards. We try not to
make it too easy on her! It's almost
impossible to get both of us
smiling at the same time! We did
finally get one but you'll have to wait
until the card comes in the mail...
