New Year's Day

On New Years Day we went to our friend's the Dodd's home and made tamales. Well, I watched mostly, having no idea what an ordeal it was. But they tasted great! Anyways, while they were steaming, all the boys of all ages played a little Guitar Hero Rock Band. It was so fun, and funny to watch. The dads, the teenagers, and the kindergartners all in one band. We are so lucky and blessed to be surrounded by such good people, and that they let us be their friends. Love you all!

Ski Trip

Damon took Claire and Kaylee up for a weekend of skiing this past weekend. It was fun to have a quiet home with just me and Corinne, but we would have rather been up in the mountains. Five more weeks till the baby is due. Anyways, here are some cute pics of them on the mountain!

Christmas in Kansas

Merry Christmas! We were able to go to Kansas for Christmas this year. It was such a fun and relaxing trip. Damon spent a lot of time with the girls and Corinne and I got to take a nap every day. It was great! It is always such a treat to stay with Damon's grandparents and visit our family out there, we love them all so much!Papa loves his girls!Aunt Vernie came for the holidays also. The girls always give her quite the run-around!I love the sister pictures!I wasn't able to get all three of them in one shot though. Christmas is just to exciting to stop for a picture!
We spent Christmas Eve and Uncle Jim and aunt Janie's house and they got a new kitty Simon. Corinne LOVED Simon. She played with the kitty and followed him around, and carried him until Simon went and hid under the couch, and then Corinne tried to climb under there with him. Luckily for Simon she didn't fit. Corinne loves animals!
Damon of course had to get his little girl a new pair of Vans for Christmas. She loves these shoes! They have unicorns on the front and she had to wear them everywhere! I made each of the girls a tutu, they were a big hit!Claire's new favorite color is blue. I love having someone out of the only pink stage, finally!By the end of the week Corinne had partied till she dropped. Mac and Cheese was the only pillow she could find :)
Thank you Granny and Papa for a wonderful holiday trip we love you so much! Thanks for letting us come to visit and turn your lives upside down for a week!
