Ashlyn's Preschool Christmas Concert

Today was Ashlyn's Preschool Christmas concert. She and all her friends were so cute. They sang Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer - they were fantastic! Here are some pictures from today.

Did you notice that most of these pictures of Ash are her with boys .... the last one is Ashlyn and her "boyfriend" Layden.

It's that time of year again - time for our 2nd annual cookie party. You could also call it a "frosting party" or "sprinkle party". I made about 7-8 dozen sugar cookies earlier this afternoon. 8 girls and Lukey arrived at 4pm and the festivities started. The kids had a great time decorating all the cookies. We had plenty of snacks and hot chocoate - can't wait to do it again next year! Thanks to all our friends for coming.
Thank you Janelle for taking all these pictues for me.

aShLyN being AsHlYn!!!

Here are some picture of Ashly being Ashlyn! She is such a ham!! Some of these are from Miss Kamina and the others are some that I took.

Don't ask - I am not sure what she is doing here. But Kenna sums it all up!

This is THE BIRTHDAY outfit from Gramma and Grampa that she asks to wear EVERY day! Gramma & Grampa took her shopping for her birthday and this is what she picked out all by herself.

She wears a leotard all the time! It is snowing outside and this is what she put on ... the girl is CRAZY!!

Our Christmas Tree

Today we went and got our Christmas tree. We went to a new tree farm this year. We had a lot of fun picking out the perfect tree. It was very cold, but they gave us hot apple cider to drink while searching for the perfect tree.

This is the tree daddy wanted to get, but the girls thought it was a little small.

Still looking. We went all the way to the back of the lot to make sure we saw all the trees before choosing the one!

Here it is BEAUTIFUL!

This is daddy's job - cutting down the tree. It is the girls job to yell TIMBER!!

Daddy is so strong! He carried the tree all the way back all by himself!

Congratulations Kenna

CONGRATULATIONS to our big girl Kenna - she made her First Reconciliation today. When I asked her what she talked to Father Dave about (what she asked to be forgiven for) she said: "Being mean to my mom & cutting my pants at school when I was supposed to be listening". There was so many things to choose from! We love you Kenna!!

We can smell the Roses!

WOO HOO - The Ducks are headed to the Rose Bowl. Congratulations to the Oregon Ducks! Below are some pictures of the girls showing their support for our favorite football team.

The Polar Express

Gramma, Grampa and I took the girls on the Polar Express train tonight. We traveled to the North Pole to visit Santa. On the way we had cookies and hot chocolate, read the story the Polar Express and sang Christmas songs with some jolly elves. Our friends Miss Ingrid, Carey, Lindsay and Olivia came along with us. It was a lot of fun and the girls got to tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas this year.
