Mikayla's Christmas Solo Dec. 15th 2009

Mikayla had the one and only solo in the Christmas concert for school this year! She tried out, competing against 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade boys and girls and she got it! She had to sing a couple verses of the song called, "All is Well". It was a beautiful song that I had never heard before, but of course quickly became my favorite song of the night! She had to wait until the very end of the concert, so 1 hour, to sing during the LAST song. I could tell she was very nervous but did a marvelous job. She didn't forget any words, sang on key and sang strong. I was a PROUD mama!

Haley's Snowman

One of Haley's Christmas gifts was a "snowman kit." She loves to make snowmen and always hunted throughout the house for the hat, scarf, eyes, nose etc. It was quite the hunt. So we found a snowman kit with all the needed accessories she could ever need, including the pipe! Here is her first snowman. It turned out quite cute.

Christmas Kitten

Jeff and I surprised the girls and got them a kitten for Christmas. Meet Sammy! He is a cuddly kitten that can't sleep unless he is curled up on your lap. The girls love him....and so do Jeff and I. He is getting very comfortable with us though, as his ornery streak is coming out! As you can tell he loves sleeping with the girls. He is very playful and finds anything around the house to play with, even snow flakes falling outside the window. (top right picture) We are glad he has joined our family. I am sure you will see much more of him as the years go by.
