Happy Birthday Savannah!

Savannah with her good friend Leah. This year she was able to take 1 friend to the movie and then to McDonald's for her birthday celebration since I am anti-birthday party this year! I think they both had a great time and they were even a little bit silly.


Happy Birthday Savannah! We Love You!

Santa Found Us!

On Christmas morning this is what Savannah and Ava found under the tree . . .

They were very excited. This doll house is as tall as Savannah! I suppose you really can't tell from the picture. Our Christmas morning didn't start until about 9 a.m. Savannah and Ava had a really hard time going to bed on Christmas Eve because they were so excited! I think after about 2 hours Jason finally brought them in our bedroom and laid with them so SANTA could actually get his work done.

Happy Girls with Crazy Hair! I think Savannah's favorite part of not being in school is getting away with not doing her hair. She begs me everyday, I don't know why she hates to have it done so bad. A fun tradition that we have on Christmas Eve (which was handed down from Jason's family) is opening a present and it is always their Christmas pajamas they get to wear to bed that night.

And this was Leah's first Christmas (I know, lots of firsts) and of course her favorite part about all of it was the bows. She wasn't interested really in anything else. And I'm sorry, I couldn't resist posting this picture . . .

All in all we had a good Christmas! But I must say that I am glad that it is over. Christmas came too fast for me this year. We hope everyone had a merry christmas and are looking forward to the new year!

Happy Birthday Jason!

Happy 33rd Birthday Jason! You're old but we still love ya!

Kimber, Savannah, Ava, and Leah

Dancing Nanners!

Because I posted a pic of Ava in her dance costume, I had to post one of Savannah too. She performed at "Fantasy in Frost" on Saturday. It was adorable. I wasn't able to get the video on my blog, I think the file might be to big and that is why it won't let me. Savannah is also one who is not afraid to be on stage. She is such a ham and fun to watch when she dances. I love the costumes this year. They are by far my fav!!!

Little Turkeys and First Thanksgiving!

We needed a fun project to do since the kids were out of school, so we made these really easy Turkey hats and the kids had a blast. They looked cute too wearing them to Thanksgiving dinner. The little girl in the middle is my niece, Kennedy. She loves to come over and play with Savannah and Ava. She calls Savannah "Ava" and she calls Ava "Jean Jane". I think she is a little confused. We are grateful to have such good cousins.

And this year was Leah's first Thanksgiving with us, even though she didn't get to eat turkey or anything exciting like that!

Grandpa Alma and little Leah! He never will look at the camera when I am taking his pic.

I know I am posting this a little late, but we give thanks this year for having our first home, many great friends and family, and we are all grateful that little Leah is part of our family!
