Nutcracker

Mom took Kaitlyn, Chloe, Rebekah and myself to see the Nutcracker this year. We had a great time. Chloe made it thru almost the whole thing. Mom had to go stand at the back with her for the last 10 minutes or so, but overall it was a successful outing. At one point Chloe leaned over and said "Mommy, that man is not wearing pants". It was very amusing.
Afterward we went down to the green room and the girls were able to take pictures with a few of the characters.

with Clara

with the snow Prince

with the Arabian dancer

with the snow princess (I think)

Chloe was afraid to take a picture with the mouse,
but Kaitlyn thought it was cool.

Christmas Day 2009

The girls woke up around 6:15 am (I was already awake and waiting for them to wake up). Santa had obviously been by. The cookies were eaten and milk was gone and they had quite the loot under the tree. We unfortunately some how managed to not take pictures of that, but are a few other pictures that we did get.

Chloe opening her gymnastics mat!

She loved it!

Kaitlyn opening her electric scooter!

Kyle was so tired already.

After we did Christmas morning at our house we went to eat breakfast with Memaw at Manna and Gumpy's. We ate a yummy breakfast and then opened gifts from Memaw and stockings from Manna and Gumpy.

Kyle is always trying to chew on everyone's shoes so Manna
got him a pair of clean flip flops just for that purpose.

Kaitlyn with her sleeping bag for her American Girl doll.

Everyone enjoyed Kaitlyn's new electric scooter!

Later that afternoon we had Christmas at our house with Nana, Manna, Gumpy and Rebekah, Aunt Donna, Ashley, Autumn, Kevin and Andrew, Aaron and Ashlee. We had a great time, but again for some reason no pictures!

Kaitlyn and Chloe's 1st Annual Christmas Party

We decided to let the girls each have a few friends over for a Christmas party this year. They ate pizza, decorated cookies, played Christmas bingo and pin the nose on Rudolph and had a gift exchange. Other than a few crazy things it went well overall.

Chloe's School Christmas Program

Chloe attends Pre-K at Eagle Heights Christian Academy. They had their annual Christmas program on December 10th. It was so cute and the kids did a great job. Here are just a few pics. The last one is Chloe with her wonderful teacher Mrs. Kuhn.

Snow Day 2009

Well it snowed in Pearland today. According to the news this is the earliest snow ever recorded in Houston as well as the only time it has snowed to years in a row. It snowed pretty much all day yesterday. It was so pretty. Dan picked the girls up from school early so that they would have a chance to play in it. They had a blast.

Time Flies!

I cannot believe that Kyle is 6 months old already! He is EVERYWHERE now. He started sitting up this past week and is doing really well. He is growing so fast and before we know he will be fighting with his big sisters!
