No school today!

The kids enjoyed staying home from school due to the icy roads! I let them go outside for a few minutes to get some energy out. :)

Rylee's basketball game...

Rylee invited us to watch her basketball game. :)

She's a good team player...and made several baskets!

Mi-Mi's Birthday...

Happy Birthday Mi-Mi! ...MOM!

Mom picked Mi Cocina (her fav!) for dinner. She had a great time! Hayden continued to say "It's Mi-Mi's birday cake" ...meaning it's her birthday...now where is the cake? hahhaaa!

Shopping at Market Street...

Who knew shopping at Market Street would be picture worthy? Well, Charles let Hayden push one of the little buggies and I thought it was too cute...and the girls wanted to be in the picture too.

Rylee, Hayden, Hailey and "mick-a-mouse"

Gingerbread decorating with Pa-Paw...

This year was so crazy busy that Hailey and Hayden did not get to make their Gingerbread house and train Pa-Paw bought them. So, new years day was time to decorate!

Hayden and Pa-Paw making a gingerbread house.

Hayden lost interest after a few minutes and decided the box would look good as a hat!

Hailey and Mi-Mi trying to figure out how to put together a gingerbread train.


The green icing was everywhere!

Santa came early...

Santa made a special trip to our house this year!

He knew that Charles would be on shift Christmas Day so he delivered presents late Christmas Eve. We got home from Mi-Mi and Pa-Paw and there were presents everywhere! "Santa came early!" Hailey shouted! There was a note from Santa that he made a special trip since he knew their Daddy was a Firefighter. Hailey was in shock...Hayden was just excited to open more stuff!

Our two sweet kids! We love them sooo much!

Hailey with all of her new Webkinz!

Hayden could not wait to open his new tool bench!
