More Christmas!

Every Christmas my family always gets together. My Parents always come over to watch the kids open gifts then go to my Sisters to watch their kids. We all meet over there and have breakfast. Later in the day, everyone comes to my house to have dinner and do our gift exchange and play games. We always have such a good time. I am so Blessed to have such a great family. Yeah, we do get on each others nerves sometime, but we all always have fun!Layci also got the tag reader pen and book and case. She sits and reads with it for hours at a time. I am hoping this will help her start sounding out words better and learning some words.
This is my neice Chloe. Isnt she adorable? This picture was a gift for my Sister from her in-laws. Their neighbor drew it of Chloe. Isnt it amazing? That look in the picture is a typical Chloe look. It is adorable. I couldn't believe how good it was!

Christmas Morning!

The kids were soooo excited this year to get up. They woke us up at 4:15 am. I said Absolutely NOT! go back to bed. You can come get me at 7:15....Well they just couldn't contain their excitement, so needless to say, I never got back to bed. They were way too Noisy! This is them ready to get to their Presents.
Santa brought Dylan and Hayden these gaming Chairs. They each got one. Layci got exactly what she wanted. An easy bake oven and Lip gloss. ( I don't know why we didn't get a picture of it!)
Layci and Hayden wanted the color wonder light up paint set thing.....This BIG present was just for Dylan.....He wanted an ipod...Do you think he got it? Well I figured if I wrapped it in a Big box, he would not be able to guess. Yes he got his ipod. It was from, Us, Nana and Papa, and Uncle Chris.

Santa Claus Is Coming to Town!

Yesterday we went to the mall....It was Trinas 3? Birthday. We went to lunch and looked around at some stores in the mall. Layci was really excited to tell Santa what she really wanted for Christmas. She told him an Easy Bake Oven and Lip Gloss. I think this is really the first year she was excited and actually sat on his lap. She is 5 1/2 though..... We also wrote a letter to santa and put it in his big red mailbox. She had a fun day too!

Rudolph....At the Recital!

Layci had her dance recital the other night. I just love the recitals. She really gets into it and she loves to dance. They danced to Rudolph the Red nose reindeer. It was so cute to see all of the different ages dancing, from 2-10.
This is Laycis Friend Emmoree. They have been in the same class now for a few years.
I love this picture. Greg caught her in "Flight". I kinda think she looks like Cindy Lou Hoo. That is Emmoree again by her.
All the little reindeers all in a line!

Making Bread!

A Few Months ago a good friend of mine taught me how to make homemade bread. It is the best recipe and it is soooo good! Layci wanted to help me out one day and now it is one of our favorite things to do together! These are two seperate times we made it because I always forget to take pictures of the whole process! She is so cute. She loves to help me make just about anything in the kitchen!








Football Season Is Over!

I am kinda bummed, football season is over! It was so fun watching Dylan this year. He was the one on the field that was always telling the other players stuff like Watch the ball, and go right, go left. After the season they had a team party at Primos. Each team member (boy) gets to vote for who they want to be the MVP, or whatever there were 5 awards given to the boys. The coaches leave it up to the boys to decide who gets one and Dylan got one of the 5. OF course I can't remember what award it was. I was so proud of Dylan. He Did so good, now we just need to work on him tackling harder! Next year!

Layci's Kindergarten Harvest Party


This was Layci's Harvest Party....I headed this project up for her kindergarten class. We took pictures of the kids as scarecrows, they decorated cupcakes as spiders
They made spider suckers with pipe cleaners and they played tic tac toe with candy corn and candy pumpkins. They also colored Halloween pictures and played Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Ghost. Their favorite thing was the tic tac toe game....I was really surprised that they liked that the best. It was a really fun time for them.
