Dollywood

We had the chance to go to Dollywood with our good friends, The Giles. I think we picked the coldest day of December - but we sill had fun. Addy - Meredith - Mikayla - Marlee

All the girls had a great time and even the grown ups too! Meredith and Mikayla rode every ride they were tall enough for and would have probably rode everything if they were bigger. You can see the picture below to see how the girls stayed warm!!

Santa and his Reindeer

One night before Christmas we had the chance to see Santa and one of his reindeer. The girls really enjoyed it.

We came home from the day and all 3 girls ran in the house and stripped their skirt off before the mommies could even get in the door - so we HAD to take a picture

Parent Day at Dance

December 15 was parent night at dance class. We got go sit in on the girls class and see what they have been learning this year. It was a lot of fun to see the girls do all the dance steps - it was a little hard not to laugh at some parts though!! Miakyla doing her heel - toe - step in tap class

Christmas Programs

I am finally getting around to posting about the holidays. Here are a few pics from the girls Christmas programs. One at church and one at preschool. It's aLways fun to watch them sing - they love it!

Thanksgiving

*Updated* It has been brought to my attention that I did not give enough recognition to the winners of guitar hero - so here's to the "Band Nerds" Jarred and Kristy who always came in 1st and 2nd - all those years marching finally paid off!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll take you two in a dance game anyday!!!!!!

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving weekend. My sister and her family and my mom and dad all stayed at our house. After lunch at Grandma's house we had to play a game of guitar hero. Grandma also got a new puppy - so here's Meredith with Luke - she loves puppies!!

"Mom, I need help with all the babies"

On any given day this is what I hear from Mikayla. She has decided that she needs to care for all her babies all the time. Here are a few pics of Mikayla and her "babies"

Pilgrim Program

The week of Thanksgiving the girls school had a little program. The kids sang a few song and the parents stayed for a Pilgrim Picnic. The kids sang "If You're Thankful and You Know It" and the "Turkey Hokey Pokey" It was a lot of fun. Here they are with their friends.
