Outside

Just a few random pictures from some time outside- the kids love to play out front- ride bikes, rollerblade, pick flowers, and play with neighbors.

The other day I looked out the back door and found McKinley just lying on the tramp by herself. I looked out a second time and she was laying on her tummy with her shirt half way up, just like her Aunt Alysha. :) I laid next to her for a while and we just talk and had a great mommy/daughter moment. Love that girl.

Birthday Party

The girls were again invited to a dance friend's birthday party. Gabby always had quite the party and this year was no different- petting zoo, pony rides, balloon artist and face painter, yummy food, and a piñata. It was fun to have my mom come with me too and she was a big help.

Friends

We are so blessed with great friends here in Las Vegas! The girls love to have friends over or go over to their friend's houses. Here are a few fun pictures with friends lately! Rollerblading, dress-ups, jumping, Sunday night dinners, playing school, pretend injuries, and sandbox!

Scooter and Rollerblades

Taking their Christmas presents for a test ride! My dad and I took the girls down the street and back and it took us a good half hour. :) They loved it though!

Christmas Dance Concert

We had two cute dancers perform in Center Stage Dance Academy's Holiday Show this year! The show was on Saturday, December 10. The Friday night before we were just hanging out as a family and there was a knock at the door. We didn't know who it could be but were SO SURPRISED to open it and find my parents standing on our doorstep! They decided that afternoon they didn't want to miss a dance concert and so they drove down to surprise us! We were so surprised and the girls were so happy to have them here!
Kylie did such an awesome job! Especially for it being her first concert. She danced to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" and knew every dance move and smiled and pouted perfectly! We were so proud of her!
McKinley's class danced to "Once Upon a December" from the Anastasia movie. They kind of messed up half way through the dance so their teacher let them start over. The girls were thrilled to get to dance twice on the stage. McKinley is a beautiful dancer.
I loved watching my two girls on stage and see their love for dance grow. I also loved how great of a big sister McKinley is. She took care of Kylie back stage and was holding her shoes for her when they came out for the final bow.
They both were pretty excited to receive flowers from Dad!

Kylie's Preschool Christmas Party

On December 13 we had Kylie's Preschool Christmas Party. We held the party during regular preschool hours so we didn't have the bigger siblings with us and could just focus on the preschoolers. They are so dang cute! We played Christmas bingo, made a ice skate craft, melted mint candies together to make a ornament, decorated snowflake ornaments, and frosted gingerbread cookies. I love my Ky Bug and I love watching her interact with her friends.

Kylie, Casen, Tre, Lilly, Graham, and Camree

December First

The first of December! I love when December finally comes because this is my favorite month, of course!

For some reason I have a picture of the girls when they were babies by this pillow on the first of December. So I had to take one of Greyson and he was three weeks old on the first as well.
Joe and I decorated our tree a little nicer this year so we let the girls put their ornaments on their own little tree in their room. They loved it!Kylie climbed up by Greyson and fell asleep!
