More Christmas fun ...

Both sets of grandparents were with us this year for Christmas. What a treat :)

Christmas Morning

Fun with Friends

Early Christmas exchange with friends :)

Ringing the Bell

Silver Dollar City Lights

We braved SDCity Saturday evening. The weather was crisp but not cold so perfect for looking at all the Christmas lights.

A Visit With Santa 2009

Karissa enjoyed her visit with Santa. She talked his ear off.

Kyleigh, on the other hand, felt differently! Once again, she didn't want anywhere near him! So, we ended up with a family photo!!

Bonfire at the Bariteau's

Kyleigh spent her evening w/ the boys :)




We had our annual bonfire last weekend. The weather was perfect and we had a nice turnout.

No more camping ...

Sadly, there will be no more camping for us this year. Jeff winterized the camper last weekend since it has turned cold so fast this year. Good times await us in the spring, I'm sure!!

Fun at Wacky World!!

Taking after Nana???

Kyleigh attempting to play the piano!

Go Patriots!

Jeff bought these jersey's for the girls and I thought they looked too cute!

Happy Birthday Kyleigh Faith!!

Our baby girl turned 2 on Friday!! We love you, sweet pea!!

The Elmo Cake

The girls are lucky enough to have a daddy that is willing and talented enough to decorate their birthday cakes!! :)

Frogs and Jesus

I put this on Facebook but thought I'd also put it on the blog for those that aren't on FB ...

The other night I hit and killed a frog driving into the garage. Karissa was a little disturbed by it but was so matter of fact. She told me, "that frog won't get up again because he died ... Jesus is the only one who got up again after he died!" Amen!!

Country Girls

We took the girls to the truck and tractor pull this weekend. As with any small town gathering, be it a fair or in this case the tractor pull, we saw all kinds. I had never been to one before but found it interesting and kinda fun! Karissa doesn't like anything loud so spent most of the time covering her ears. Kyleigh didn't mind the noise but preferred to make friends with the people behind us :)

Picture Day at "School"

I just had to share the girls pictures from their daycare. I can't help but smile everytime I look at them! Kyleigh has always been a stinker when it comes to getting pictures taken, especially professional, but these take the cake! It's as if she is doing everything in her power not to show even a hint of a grin!! Enjoy! :)

Happy Grandparents Day!!

We love you Nana/Papa & MiMi/PowPow (and great-grandmas)!!!!

A peek at the stepping stones we had the girls make for the grandparents for their presents this year. If I never have to mix another batch of cement, it'll be too soon :)

Happy Anniversary, Sweetie!

It's been six years already! I love you, sweetie! XOXO
