Christmas Eve

Auntie Heather made these adorable dresses. Arnt they cute?

SNOW

While visiting Grammy and Papa, we got to go play in the snow. We left Allie home with Grammy and took Lexi out for her first time in the snow. She loved it!

The snow was really hard that day, and even though Mike tried, he couldn't make a snowman. Thankfully there was one nearby.

Merry Christmas!!!

We hope that you all have a wonderful Christmas, safe travels and amazing memories.

The girls are helping us get all packed up to go see Grammy and Papa in Northern California

Not so much the same... anymore

It started out that Lexi and Allie looked very much alike as little babies, but as Allie grows older, there are very clear differences between them.

Both of these pictures were taken on their 1st birthdays

Allie

Lexi

You can tell they are sisters.... Allie is getting the same curly hair as Lexi. It will be fun to see them grow!

Santa came to see us at Preschool!

At our Preschool Christmas Party, Santa and Mrs. Claus came to see us. I thought Lexi would be scared, but she did great!!!

Allie did pretty well... she didn't cry, but she didn't smile. She just kept staring at him! haha

Lexi told Santa what she wanted for Christmas: Presents for her friends!!

(What a proud Mommy moment!)

Eating the treat they gave to the kids

Then we got to make Ginger Bread Houses.

Allie's 1st Birthday Party

Allie's party was a lot of fun. We had 37 people in our little house. It was wild. It was pretty cold that day, but thankfully kids dont seem to mind and played outside anyway.

The theme for her party was Ladybugs

Allie and our friend Sammy

The ladybug pinata. It was a pull string pinata, so all the kids held onto a string and we all pulled at the same time to release the candy

Allie enjoying her first sucker ever! Of course it had to be blue!

Time for cake!

Opening presents

Grammy & Papa visit us!

Grammy and Papa came down to visit with us for a long weekend. They came for Allie's 1st brithday. It was SOOO fun to see them. They just spoil the girls rotten!

Here we are at the airport. Lexi got confused and thought that they lived at the airport! haha

Papa is funny. He put Lexi's shoes on Allie.
