Family Photos

We had pictures taken in November. I love how they turned out. These are the ones I chose. I love this one of the girls. Gracyn looks like she could have been from the 1800's in this picture...I love it!!!

I thought we needed a picture of just us so this was our crack at it. It seemed alot like engagement pics but it was fun to do. I was just about to start laughing big time right when this picture was taken. This man still makes me laugh. Oh how I LOVE him!!!

I know I am biased BUT....Patrick and I made some cute little girls. Who would have thought we are already thinking about a #3. Only time will tell.

Zoiee

In a earlier post, I mentioned a microphone that Zoiee got as a present, Now you can find her down at the local hot chocolate shop (that looks a lot like my living room) entertaining the locals.

Winter Wonderland!!!

We went to the Winter Wonderland at Zoiees school after our lovely visit with Santa. They got to fish, throw, eat and guess to win prizes. The girls and a lot of fun... Gracyn has wanted to do everything the big girls do so of course she was right in the middle of things.

Zoiee, Gracy and Daddy did the cakewalk. Zoiee won a cake and she picked an 8" Dairy Queen ice cream cake. It is Delicious!!!

Gracyn VS. Santa

Santa came to the Library this last Saturday. I thought the girls would like to visit with him. I knew Zoiee would have some reservations about the visit but I was even more certain that Gracy wouldn't have a problem. BOY was I wrong!!!!!

She wouldn't go near him. Wouldn't even look at him. So I have yet to get a picture of either girl with Santa.

Zoiee

Zoiee is GROWING up on us. I noticed the other week that all her shirts are toooo short so I ventured out to find some bigger shirts. We went to the Childrens Place Outlet and really lucked out. For $13 I got about 7 items. She was so excited to wear her new denim skirt, new vest and new black boots (which were a christmas present from Grandpa and Mimi) she got early since I knew she would have at least one more thing to open on Christmas day from them. With all this excitement in her, she got together her new little outfit and had to take pictures of it. She wanted me to get them printed so she could show all her friends but after a litte while of me trying to convince that her friends seeing her in the outfit was just as good, she relented. She did a rather good job. Anyone want fashion pointers??? Zoiee might be able to give you some of her time.

She was very cute in this little outfit. She has asked to wear the skirt several times but I keep "forgetting" to wash it. She does need to wear her other clothes first I think!!!

Thanksgiving!!!

I feel like I am crazy late with this post but better late than never. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year. I hosted my dad and Mimi, and my sis Steph and the kids. It was great. We visited, shopped on black friday, watched some newly released movies, the kids went swimming with grandpa and Mimi and we ATE... Here the kids are posing for one of many pictures. I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted to but I did get some.


Just a sample of some of the food we had on Turkey Day. I was very thankful for all the hands I had helping me in the kitchen that day. Even though I didn't do it all, I now know why my mom was so tired by the end of the day.

My Dad, Mimi and the girls the day they left. Gracyn was tired of taking pictures. Can't you tell???

Gracyn sure warmed up to my dad this visit. She sure loves her Grandpa Randy. They were a cute pair those 4+ days. Gracyn was so sad on saturday when we were saying our goodbyes. She wanted Grandpa to hold her and didn't want to get out of his arms when they had to leave. She was even crying. It was so cute and sad all at the same time.

We don't have many pictures of Dad and the girls. So here is one of several that we took.

There are many things to be Thankful for this year. I am very Thankful that I got to spend this holiday with Family. It was fun to have Dad and Mimi here and I hope we get to do it more often in the future.
