Christmas Dresses

Here are our girls in their cute Christmas dresses. Grandma bought these at K-mart last minute. I wasn't going to get them any this year but I'm glad she did. We are excited about Christmas in a few days. After having our own little Christmas here at home we will travel over to Michael's parents house for the remainder of the day. Michael's Parents, Grandparents and Aunt & Uncle will all be there. Amy is in New York City this year with Angel's family. We wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Christmas Cookies

Ellie and Grandma spent the morning baking and frosting Christmas cookies. This gave mommy and Emma some alone time to go to Wal-Mart and get some shopping done. From what I hear their was quite a big mess when all was done. Ellie enjoyed eating the cookie dough and frosting as you can see from the picture.

Community Christmas Party

Our community puts on this really nice Christmas Party for the kids every year. They have free pony rides, a train ride, Blow-up jumpers, Santa, and free food. It is really nice. We have gone for the last 3 years. Ellie really enjoyed the pony rides. She wasn't scared at all and looked quite natural on her horse Scout.

Crazy Hair Again!

Just thought I would add to our crazy hair picture collection. I just wonder what she is doing in the night to get her hair this way. Must be some crazy dreams.

Hey Santa!

We got our first pictures with Santa for the season. Emma was happy to sit on his lap. Ellie, on the other hand, would not. She really wanted a candy cane though so she very cautiously went up to him to get one.

Happy Thanksgiving

Our little family

We had a nice traditional Thanksgiving here in Lake Havasu. The weather was great, it rained. We absolutely love it when it rains here because it doesn't happen very often. We started the day setting up our Christmas tree and other decorations. What better way to start off the Holiday season. Ellie was a big help. At least she thought she was. We have a plastic pool in our garage leaned up against the wall. I had it down in order to get to the Christmas boxes. Michael and I were busy doing something and when we turned around there she was in the pool, naked. I think she wanted to go for a swim. It was so funny.

Later on that evening we enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving dinner at Michael's parents house. It was soooo good. Michael's sister Amy and her husband came in from L.A. and Michael's grandparents were there as well. After dinner we took the kids for a walk down by the lake. It was nice to walk after stuffing ourselves. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are now looking forward to the Christmas season. Here are some pictures from our day.
