Happy Birthday Mom

Birthday fun with my girl!

Merry Christmas

All of the new toys, and these 2 want to play in the dog bed! Go figure.

These are drive by pics....she didn't stop running around the entire time we were there.

Sporting her new Christmas Lights necklace.

What a lonnnng day. Finished it off by zonking out next to her mac and cheese snack at 8pm.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent with Mom's side of the family. 
Dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Stepien's house followed by presents.

Not a great family picture this year. By the time we remembered, I had changed, Mya was anxious, and Gary was so tired he could barely keep his eyes open! Tis the season!

She found the heating vent. :)

A new sweatshirt for Gary

Playing with her new zoo animal sound puzzle from Becca!

Vroooom!

Gary and Mya hard at work while I took pictures from the comfort of the couch! :)

 

And I guess a little play time for them too.

Snow fun.

Our weekend was spent at the cabin. Mya had fun with her cousins sledding and playing outside, although she could hardly move in her snowsuit!

Mya, Addison, and Jack playing in the snow.

Gramps K, pushing Dad and Mya.

Gary and Shawn giving the kids a ride.

And when we got home there was a lot of snow to shovel!!

Go Kenna!!

Switching over from volleyball to basketball season! We are ready!

 

I want to go outside!!!!

Now! If I could just get these darn boots on. 

Here comes Santa!

I wasn't sure how she would do this year but it turned out great!  Although she didn't crack a smile until he gave her the candy cane. 

"Santa, we really WERE good this year."

Look at the difference a year can make. 

St. Nick

Stockings are hung!

Mya found new crayons and a coloring book in her stocking! She carried them around all morning and wouldn't take a break to eat or get dressed. Needless to say, we ran late this morning! You can all expect your pictures in the mail shortly! :)

Lazy Sunday

Church and reading the newspaper with Auntie B. We're so glad she got to spend the weekend with us. Only a few more weeks and she'll be on winter break!

 

And a visit with Great Grams and Pa.

(Mya is into "smooching")

Housework

Getting ready for the holidays is a lot of work! I'm glad I had help with the cleaning.

Turkey Time

Happy Thanksgiving!

Pancakes for breakfast!

Then checking out Dad's deer.
