Christmas Happenings

I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!

Our pretty 'blue' tree!

MaryBeth had a beautiful Christmas party for all us girls with Lydia's help. We had such fun! She had it decorated beautiful and had us all dress up formal (if we wanted to). She even made all the food so it would be stress free for all of us. Which ended up being a real blessing because Callie and Mackenzie were both sick the day before and Callie still wasn't 100% that day...so I wouldn't have had time to make anything. It was a lovely time!

She hated her hair like this, but I think it's cute. Only Beth can get away with putting it up...

"Please?!"

Mackenzie's 2nd birthday and Grandma's Visit

Callie playing with the flower Grandma gave her while she was in the hospital. She loves to talk to it.

She was all excited when I gave her the broth from my chicken noodle soup.

Grandma and her girls

Mackenzie playing with the camera she bought with her birthday money. She loves that thing...and her daddy hates it. She'll pose and tel us to take her picture!



For Mackenzie's 2nd birthday we took her to The Bounce Zone. It's a building full of inflatibles. She loved it. We paid for 2 hours...but she only lasted an hour and took three naps that day! Uncle Aaron, Uncle Andrew, and Uncle Matthew came and played with her on it.

My big girl!

Uncle Jared helped her all morning

Callie had fun with her Papa

This picture cracks me up...she's such a daddy's girl!

Callie liked bouncing too!

Callie's eyes got sooo big when we slid down the slide!
