I'm on a roll

A few more. The middle 2 are from Jack's soccer practice. He looks like he knows what he's doing sometimes, he just doesn't have much competitive spirit at this point ;)

Long Overdue...

Where have we been all year? We've been busy. Here are a few photos from recent activities. In no particular order, Jack's first swim lesson, Bella's Jazz dance, her new haircut, the last day of school with Mrs. Friedman, and the Hog Wild Days Carnival.

Testing

Just testing this to see if I can post from my phone...
Here is a photo from Christmas morning :)

Finally Christmas Morning!

The kids have been waiting and waiting for Santa to come for SO long. They were so excited for Christmas and were really happy with their gifts. Bella got a Leapster Explore handheld video game, a Tinkerbell movie and playset, a panda pillow pet, and some goodies in her stocking. Jack got a huge Thomas train set with motorized trains, a doggy pillow pet and a stocking full of candy! We had a great day with daddy's homemade french toast for breakfast and pizza for supper. The kids even got their own Mickey mouse shaped pizza! What a great daddy!

Christmas Eve

All of the "kids" posed nicely under the tree ;)

We almost forgot to put out the cookies and milk for Santa and the carrots for Rudolph!

Jack is hanging the magic Santa key so Santa can get in and leave presents (since we don't have a chimney).

More cookie baking

They are cookie pros by now, especially Jack. He knew all about rolling out the dough and cutting out the cookies. Lots of fun!

Lots and lots to share

I have been very negligent lately, so here are quite a few posts with our holiday photos from this year. The kids are at perfect ages and are able to all the activities like gingerbread houses, cookies, crafts, etc. We had lots of fun!
