Kids by tree!

December 2008

Today after church I sat the kids in front of the tree to see if I could catch some good pictures and they were so good. It usually takes tons of pictures and pleading to get the kids to all smile and look good. Today they did these shots in like 2 minutes and they looked so cute. Merry Christmas! And thanks kids, you look great!

Playing around!

Last night the kids had a sleep over, this morning I looked up and Justin was giving the girls rides on the wood floor. They were laughing so hard and having such a great time!

Katie dancing at Festival of trees!

December 4, 2008

Tonight Katie performed at the festival of trees. They all did such a good job and Katie did most of the dance, she played with her hat for a lot of it. She looked great and we were so proud of her.

Katie is the one on far left.

Katie beforehand

In costume, she was so excited. They did the cutest dance to a song called I'm gonna lasso Santa Clause. It was so perfect for these little kids and the actions were great. Even though she didn't do all the dance on stage she would for me and so for her first stage appearance she did great. She kept telling me "I did it all by myself mom".

Katie and Megan were so funny today. I put batteries in the train that goes around the bottom of our tree and they would laugh and get so excited. Megan would stand up and move her arm choo-choo then lay on her tummy and kick her feet every time the train came around. It was quite comical to watch them!

Putting up the Tree!

November 2008

At our house we set up the Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving each year. Here are some of my little helpers. Justin was downstairs with the men working on the basement but he came up and helped occasionally too. We had a really fun time.

Finishing the Basement! Yeah!

November 2008

The day after Thanksgiving Rob, his brother Scott, Dad & Justin all started to work on the basement. While the girls and I decorated upstairs. We decided with another baby on the way we would need a couple more rooms sooner than later. So off they went. They framed in the closets, the storage room and one bedroom and it looks so different. Thanks everyone for the help so far. Little by little!

The Men, Justin was so excited to be helping!
