Build-a-Bear fun

Yesterday we took the girls to the Build-a-Bear Workshop. This was Bethany's first time and she was wide-eyed. As you know she LOVES clothes, shoes, and dress-up play. So when she walked in and saw all the different outfits for the animals, she froze. She really was not concerned with even stuffing her bunny. She was ready to accessorize her. Daddy was a good sport and was very patient while the girls tried to decide which outfit would be the best for their animals. It was a lot of fun and they are so proud of their creations. I will get a picture of the girls and the animals all dressed up and post it soon!

Kentucky visit

Friday we drove to see my aunt, uncle and cousins. We don't get to see them too often so it's always a treat! We love you all and hope to see you again soon! Come visit anytime!

Merry Christmas

Christmas morning the girls were super excited to see what Santa had brought. They loved opening all of their presesnts but had a little trouble because Santa must havve found super heavy duty paper and tape. It required some adult assistance to get them open. Oops Santa!!! It has also gotten a little more interesting since Baylee is now quite the reader. This year she made a list and after each gift she cross-referenced whether or not it was on her list. All I can say is she is her father's daughter. I think it's the "math mind". Nonetheless it cracked us up!!!

We will have lots of dinner theater nights this year
Oh boy...more dress up clothes

This is Lucky the Wonderdog. He is too cute. He follows commands, sings and the best part is that he doesn't shed or stink(although he even has gas occasionally)

HSM boots

Imagine that...another Barbie. She can't get enough!

Christmas Eve...take 2

On Christmas Eve in our immediate family we open presents from mommy and daddy to the girls, gifts from aunts, uncles, and grandmas(via mail) and gifts to each other. The girls had lots of fun. Thanks everyone for sending wonderful gifts. We miss and love you all!!!

Christmas Eve with Nana and Pops

Being an only child makes most of our hoiday get-togethers on my side very quaint. It's very nice after all the hustle and bustle to spend Christmas Eve with my mom and dad. I know I am partial, but I do believe I have the best parents in the world. We love you so much and there is no way we can ever repay you for your love and kindness over the years.

Elise decided to spit up down the inside of mommy's shirt for a little Christmas cheer. Olivia was trying to dry her insides out! Hilarious! Boy do I remember those days!
