Christmas 2011

I know that this is a super late post, but better late then never. We had a great Christmas. We loved having some family time and relaxing. Here are just a few pictures from our fun holiday.

Doug and his girls waiting to open their Christmas Eve presents.
Paige was super excited for her "new box!"

Happy Nappers to snuggle with why they waited for Santa to come.
He came!!!!








I hope everyone had a happy and memorable holiday!

Christmas Tree

We finally put up our Christmas tree after Thanksgiving and I honestly think that it is the best one yet.
Paige really loves to sit by the fire place and check out the lights and ornaments. I think that this is one of my most favorite pictures EVER!

Fall Family Fun Night

Last night Piper's school hosted a Fall Family Fun Night for the students. There were lots of activities for the kids and most importantly the kids got to wear their costumes. I didn't take my camera to the school but I did manage to grab a few shots of the girls all dressed up before we left.

Our Rodeo Princess Dorothy with Toto

It was such a fun event to attend and a great start to the weekend.

Easter Sunday

We had such a nice relaxing Easter. Doug took Piper camping that weekend so we didn't start our celebration until they got home that afternoon. As soon as they walked in the door Piper asked if the Easter Bunny had come. We told her to look out the back door and see for herself. There were eggs everywhere! She couldn't wait to grab her basket and head out for a fun egg hunt. Paige was so excited that Piper was excited and couldn't wait to get outside with her big sister. Since Paige is a new walker, Doug took Paige around and helped her collect some eggs for her basket.



When the girls got done outside, they came in to find their Easter presents.




It was such a nice and relaxing day. I am so thankful for my family. I truly am blessed!

Fun with Eggs

We finally got around to dying our Easter eggs yesterday. Both girls had a ton of fun, especially Piper. Here are just a few shots from our afternoon of fun.

St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! We didn't do a whole lot to celebrate, but we did start out our morning with green pancakes. Both girls were a bit unsure about the color, but once they tasted them they thought they were ok to eat. We wore green for the day (I never got pics of that) and we also made cupcakes and decorated them with green sprinkles. All in all it was a fun day.

Happy New Year!

So we had a pretty uneventful New Year's eve this year. Everyone was pretty sick with a nasty cold so we didn't feel like doing much. We had a fun dinner of finger foods and then celebrated ringing the New Year in with poppers, noise makers, and hats.

Christmas 2010

I just wanted to share some of my pictures from Christmas morning. We had such a great day. I hope everyone enjoyed the day as much as we did. Can you tell that Piper was super excited about her Pillow Pet?!?
She loves the horsey Uncle Ty and Aunt Dina sent.

Santa came!!!

Santa!

Yesterday I got the girls dressed up and we went to visit Santa. The girls (mostly Piper) had a blast. Piper knew exactly what she wanted and she was ready to tell the big guy. Luckily when we got there we only had to wait a couple of minutes because Piper was just vibrating with excitement. When it was her turn, she hopped on his lap, told him her name and age, and listed what she wanted. When she was done, she gave him a hug and told him she loved him. I thought it was so cute. Paige on the other wasn't too into it. She sat on his lap long enough for me to take a quick picture and then I could tell she was done. I picked her up before she could even think about crying. All in all it was a fun time. I'm glad we got to go.

A quick pic before we left. Can you see the excitement on Piper's face?!? Waiting in line and still excited!!!
