The Little Red Hen

Connor had his Kindergarten music program this week entitled The Little Red Hen. He played the part of the miller. He liked his part the best because he got to sit in the chair the whole time. He did a great job stirring the little red hen's dough she brought to the mill.

The flower girls - Kaylee & Mallory

These are a few cute pics of Kaylee and her friends at Connor's birthday party. Kaylee and her friend Kendall were in their own little world during the party. They played together and carried on their own little conversations. Kaylee is really into changing babies' diapers and apparently during the party she decided to help Kendall with hers. Sorry, I didn't get the camera out in time for that picture. However, I did capture a little bit of the great laughter they were having together. How great life is through the laughter of a child!!

Our Baby Boy Turns 6

Another year has passed and that means our baby boy is growing older. It is amazing how quickly they grow. It was only a few weeks ago that he was that little chubby, brown-eyed baby you could just eat up, right?!!! Connor celebrated his 6th birthday with family at Five Guys and then had a Chef's party at our house with friends later that week. He and his friends made their own slice of pizza and then decorated cookies for dessert. Connor is such a blessing to our family and we love those big, brown-eyed crazy faces and contagious laughter he has. Happy 6th birthday, buddy!!

Great Impressions From Head to Toe

Kaylee loves to make impressions with the toy she received from her cousins for Christmas. She decided in order to get the best impression of her feet, she must take off her socks! Then, she proceeded to do her head. As you can see, this time of year produces a lot of static electricity in her hair. Needless to say, the head impression did not help matters!

Christmas with The Crew

Don't they looked so thrilled to have their picture taken?!

There's always gotta be one that cries, right?!

Tickle time with Uncle Andy

The kids had a blast this Christmas hanging out with family all day on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. We are very blessed to have cousins that are close in age to play with during the holidays.

Visit with Santa

Santa sent a special invitation to Connor and Kaylee to come see him at daddy's office. Connor was very excited and eager to sit in Santa's lap. Kaylee, however, was not too sure about Santa. He was great to her from a distance but she just stared in fear/amazement when she got closer. Santa even read them some stories and gave each child a personalized ornament! What a great day Santa and his "helpers" from daddy's work provided.

Christmas Gathering

Every Christmas we get together with our friends and their families to celebrate the season. The kids draw names and exchange gifts and the adults swap cookies/desserts. We have a blast every year and as you can see we are all very blessed with our beautiful children.
