Season in review

This year the kids really were able to enjoy the holiday season so much more than they have before. They really are at such a fun age. The busy nature of the season coupled with fighting with my camera has gotten me quite behind on posting! I'll just hit the highlights...

Keeley's school has an annual, school wide Christmas sing a long on a Saturday afternoon. Unfortunately, our camera decided to stop working when her class was singing Jingle Bells (about which she was very excited!). We did get lots of pictures of Kayden enjoying the candy cane she shared with Oma
We also visited the Gaylord Ice exhibit with Granddad for his birthday. The girls had fun, but I think they were a little overwhelmed by all the blue coats!

Frisco Safety Town had a great event but the girls weren't totally into it this year. They were excited about the firetruck, candy canes, and balloons. However, there was no interest in meeting Santa - as you can tell from Kayden's face in the second picture!
We got the blocks out again because Keeley had gotten interested in stacking again. Both the girls are enjoying them. They'll pile them up and then "run in circles" for 10-15 minutes at a time! I'm really quite impressed with Kayden't stacking. Although, she much prefers to knock over Keeley's creations.
Ready for naps in matching pjs and hats.
Kendall and Angie stayed with us during the holidays and my girls LOVED it!
We had Christmas Eve Brunch at Kelly's aunt's house and got to enjoy the extended family. Later that night, Kelly's mom, brother, and sister-in-law came over. The girls had a blast and had to try on or try out every new present right away!

Christmas morning, we opened presents and then enjoyed time with Grossmama and Grosspapa. The favorite present was the kitchen; although, it did take Keeley a while to warm up to it.


And last, but not least, we went to the Dallas World Aquarium to see Granddad, Cathy, Brent and Courtney. The girls love that place. Here they are with Kelly in the shark tunnel.

We had a wonderful, family filled holiday season and hope you did as well!!!
