"Craps" Time

This is the stocking that I got Haylee last year and had planned to add to it.

Well never got to it, so this is the year.

Haylee loves to do crafts. She calls them "craps," I attempt to correct her

but it's really funny when she keeps calling it that.

"H" is for Haylee!

She really liked that

Then she found out that she got to play with glitter!

How Fun!

The end result:
"Mommy this was the best craps ever!"

Christmas Decorating Inside

I won't bother to document the extent to which my husband loves to

decorate for Christmas. But let's just say that every room in my house has some type

of Christmas decor, whether it is a small christmas tree (in every bed room & bathroom) or santa plates (in the kitchen), etc. Everyroom is celebrating the season. I like it, but it is also

fun to tease him a little too.

But for this post I will show you our Christmas tree!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Sophie helping Daddy pick out Christmas Ornaments

Picking the perfect spot for each bulb

She kept putting them on her head, but wouldn't hold still long enough to capture

it on film. I helped by putting the hooks on the bulbs,

and Micah just chilled in my belly

Christmas Decor Outside

Time to decorate outside

Chealsea, Haylee and I put up the reindeer!

Haylee said they needed to be fed, so she picked berries off the tree

Daddy put the lights up around the house.

Denny Hamilton and Andy McCray also started putting up their lights when they

saw Ryan doing it. Denny was so thrilled that he started thanking Ryan from a distance

with words and hand gestures! Come to find out, Denny doesn't like putting up lights, but decided he had to when the neighbors started doing it!

This is how Ruthie McCray wanted to decorate the outside of her house!

She just threw them on the bush.

It looks good now that Andy took over the decor!

A view of the future

This freaks me out!!

This is the future-our girls driving together!

It's all happening so fast!

Thanksgiving 2009

The girls got dressed for Thanksgiving dinner at Gramie's

Soph finally has enough hair to put in a bow

She looks like a little lady instead of a baby!

She refuses to move her bangs on her own.

But I won't give up trying to grow them out

Bella is awesome with the girls, she just gives kisses on the mouth.

Mommy is not a fan!!

Neither is Sophie! She put her hands over her mouth and started laughing!

Rolling in the leaves

After piling up the leaves it was time to play!

Sophie LOVED the leaves, she would not get out of them!

Haylee liked throwing them, not so much rolling in them

It doesn't get any better than burying your best friend's brother in a pile of leaves!
Pay Back!!

The leaves have fallen

Leave pick up, so I got the girls involved. In fact they wanted to.

Marybeth, Haylee, and Kenlee

Sophie was the first to volunteer

Kenlee, Reagan, Haylee, and Marybeth

Halloween 2009

We went "trick or treating" with the Hall's and Garman's (though I don't have any pics of Raegan and Kenlee) It was cold, but Haylee and Soph both loved getting candy! And I of course am enjoying their success on getting the candy!
