hey girls....what do ya wanna do today? Go ice skating? OKAY!!! :)










Awesome fun!

Christmas day, Nana Dianne, Uncle Josh, the girls and I went out behind our house and played in the fluffy snow!


there was a pretty steep hill where the construction workers come and get dirt from, but it looked like fun! ;)

so, off we went!



Nana Dianne was even brave enough to take a turn down the big hill!

the girls had sooooo much fun!



and were pooped when we were done!

Nana Dianne and Avery made some snow angels...

later that night we came inside for Christmas dinner, and instead of a Happy Birthday Jesus cake, we put a candle in our cheesy potatoes and sang Happy Birthday instead!


Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

we made the drive home on Christmas Eve, and met up with Nana Dianne, Bapa Craig, and Uncle Josh who drove up from Wisconsin and Indiana! :) We went to Christmas Eve service at church, and then home to open up presents together!

The girls have been waiting to open a gift that has been under the tree for quite some time from their Great Aunt Pam...they LOVED it, so thank you! :)


Avery received some American Girl items, and Uncle Josh got a remote control Helicopter!


Bapa Craig got toilet paper for camping, and a funny coin jar from the girls

fun times!

the 2010 Holiday Barbie, and American Girl Kit Mini Doll with Books and board game!

Rapunzel (Tangled) Doll, and a puppy dog Vet kit!

DIGITAL CAMERAS!!!!! One for each of them! What a hit! Thanks Nana and Bapa!

Avery and Molly, and Molly's new glasses!


Early Christmas morning, reading the notes left from Santa...he ate the cookies and the reindeer ate the carrots and only left some crumbs.

heading downstairs to see what awaits them under their trees...


Avery received what she's been asking for...a Unicorn Pillow pet, and some more fun goodies in her stocking!

Liv enjoyed seeing what gifts were left under her tree!

She got an Olivia house that changes into a Pirate ship! :) Thanks Santa!

One more gift from Mom and Dad and Nana and Bapa to open up! More American Girl Doll fun!


And a fun bathtub and accessories for Liv's dolls too!
