A Day at the Park

We were all terribly sick around here for last week. Today the weather was a perfect 85 and I figured it was finally time to get out of the house and head back to the park. It had been nearly two weeks since we had been and the girls were so excited. Here are a couple shots from this morning.

New Year's

This weekend it was raining so hard. Kailey and Nate loved playing in it, Gianna and I would rather stay inside. Here are a few shots. Gianna is above pouting and Kailey below is running ahead trying to jump in every puddle.

The girls love havinga babysitter. It doesn't happen often, but when it does they won't leave her side. When we were getting ready to go out we noticed the girls were so quiet, poor babysitter Kailee was sandwiched in between the two of them on the couch.

The girls got haircuts this week too. Kailey's looks short in the above picture, but it really isn't the shot with Kailee gives a better idea on the little trim she got. Gianna on the other hand had 4 inches cut. It is adorable on her. The picture below is a little crazy, but at least it shows the length.

Some Holiday Catch Up

I realized that I posted a ton of pictures on Facebook, but forgot to put them on my blog. I have still been a busy working Mom, averaging about 25 hours a week for the past month, that might have something to do with it. My job is technically over next week, but I had a blast doing it and might be able to work something out to help out on a very part time basis. We will see. Nate has a birthday this week, so I hope to add some shots of him and his new present we are getting him. He also had his tattoo colored and wants to post that for his family to take a look at. Other than that, K goes back to school tomorrow and we will return to normal life soon. This holiday was a busy but wonderful time for all of us. Nate truly enjoyed being home with our girls a lot and loved hosting the holidays and working a little too. Gianna gave up her pacifier on Christmas Eve, that has been a major adjustment. Another HUG piece of news is that my little sister got engaged. Looks like we'll be making a lot more trips to CA this year! Here are some highlights from the past week or so.

Precious Little Girls

MOMS Club Christmas Party

It was gloomy weather for our Annual MOMS Club Christmas Party, but that didn't stop the kids from dressing up and making a huge mess. We decorated cookies, made lots of crafts, danced to Christmas Carols (at least the kids did,) brought items for charities and ran around in the puddles with friends. This was our 4th year attending the event and the kids have more fun each year. Their favorite tradition is getting "reindeer food" as a party favor and spreading it all over our front yard on Christmas Eve.

I so badly wanted to crop this picture, but I had to post it because Kailey took it of us. I was so proud of her for taking such a great shot that I didn't think I should crop my big butt out of it without giving her credit for what she did first.

The Cutest 10 Minutes Ever!

Kailey is in the middle right in front of the little boy dressed as a King.

Kailey's Preschool did a wonderful evening Christmas Program. There were about 80 children on stage in matching colors and hundreds of fans there to cheer them on. They sang four songs and even made gold drums to beat during the Little Drummer Boy. We were so proud of Kailey for standing and singing every word of every song with a smile on her face. She was quite the performer. We didn't get many good shots because we were busy video taping the entire show. Kailey did insist however that she got a picture with each of her amazing teachers.

Daddy brought the girls beautiful red roses for after the show
