Ally Gets a Trim

Ally was starting to get a little "rat-tail" action going on with her hair, so I decided to do a little trim. It is absolutely adorable...if I do say so myself! Here are some pictures of my little "Princess," as she prefers to be called.

Enjoying SNOW!

It is snowing and actually sticking so we went outside tonight to walk around in it an enjoy it since it never stays around long. Here are some pics of the kids enjoying it...hopefully it stays around awhile and we can build a snowman.

A Church Christmas Program

Today was our church's Christmas Program and both kids got to "perform" in it. Before the program started our church offered a brunch, so we came early and enjoyed a little snack. Poppa Mike, Grandma Jo, Uncle Eric, and Aunt Cagney came to have brunch with us and watch the program. I got some great shots of the kids with the family.

The older kids came in first and then finally in the middle of the program it was the little kids turn!! I scooted up and squeezed in next to another proud set of parents and proceeded to catch a scowly Dylan

and a picture of Ally

before she scooted to the back of the stage and proceeded to play around with Andrew, until they started singing Jingle Bells when she came up to the front and started pantomiming shaking bells.

After that she went back to being a very cute bored little girl.

All in all it was a great success and I can't wait until next year for more Christmas program fun!!

Fun time with Neighborhood Friends!

Today we had a gift exchange party with our neighborhood playgroup. A few weeks back we all drew names and then got to go out shopping for gifts. We drew K and J's names. So we made our way down to Mrs Marie's house today for some present opening, cookies, and playing with friends.

After everyone arrived we took all the presents upstairs and the kids gathered around the presents patiently waiting for their turn to open presents.

We decided to go in order of age from youngest to oldest.
So we start off with KL.

Shaggy Gets a New Do

Awhile ago Dylan told me he wanted to grow his hair out, so we decided to let him grow it out....it has gotten out of control. He has been in desperate need of a haircut for awhile now. The only kind of haircut I specialize in is the buzz cut, so I took him down to Master Cuts in the mall. He was very quiet and a little scared but once she got going he relaxed a little and there was even a couple of smiles that came out!

Here is Dylan before:

And here is the handsome Mister after:
