Snow Angels

Haylee has been wanting to go outside and make some snow angels for quite some time now. With the recent snow storm we had she finally got to go out and lay in the snow and make her snow angels. Before she went to school today we dressed her up in all her snow gear to lay in the snow. I didn't have to fight her about a dress today though. I just told her we couldn't put snow pants over a dress. (Maybe I should make her wear snow pants everyday! ) What I wouldn't give to be a kid again! The simple things in life can make them so happy.

Haylee's 4th Birthday

Haylee is growing up so fast! I can't believe she is four already! She is also our little princess in every way. Haylee loves to wear dresses everyday. It is a fight to get her to wear pants and a shirt. Haylee got a lot of Snap-n-style dolls for her birthday and some barbies. She also got the cutest dress from Grandma Crabtree. When she saw the dress, she said "Mom, it is so beautiful!" She really does look like a princess in it.

New years Eve

So this is the one and only picture we took while we were in Kansas. It is New year's eve and we were getting ready to get in the hot tub. Of course we had to toast in the new year (sparkling cider, all though the picture would suggest otherwise). David wanted to show off his hottness. Ladies wouldn't you agree!!:) Any way we had a great time while we were there. And nothing short of a few laughs.

Trip to Kansas

So Christmas night, we left for our trip to Kansas. The drive was very long and boring, but we arrived safe and sound. Tyler and Alyssa stayed home with my sister and her family and Haylee and Addyson came with David and I. We had a great time!! It was the kind of trip you could actually call a vacation. We didn't do much, sat and chatted mostly. Catching up with old friends and played lots of games. Earl has been David's best friend since the 9th grade and I have known him as long as I've known David. You couldn't ask for a better friend. Earl and Jamelle kept the girls over night so David and I could drive to Omaha and look for some housing out there. We found a really nice townhome that is in a great part of town. The kids are excited because it has a swimming pool available for use. We are very excited about the new year and our upcoming move. We are looking forward to this new chapter we are about to start in our journey together.

To early of a morning

Addyson crashed out on David shortly after the opening of presents.

Christmas Morning

I love this time of year. Christmas is always so busy, but the joy we get from giving service and gifts to one another is priceless. I think I get more excited on Christmas morning than the kids do. We had a great Christmas Season and the kids were spoiled as usual.

Christmas Eve pajamas

Alyssa picked out the pajamas with Grandma. She thought it would be fun to have matching pj's.

Ward Christmas Party

Santa asked both the girls what they wanted and Haylee said a bear (Santa thought she said a beer) I think he needs his hearing checked. Then she cleared it up by saying she wanted a yellow care bear. And Addyson wanted a Blue Doll.
