Emily's School Christmas Party

This is Emily's CDO Christmas Party. They all had a blast!

Happy 1st Birthday Allison!!

We had a "virtual" birthday party tonight for Allison. Daddy is out of town, so we got some cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday via webcam. Nana took us to dinner for her birthday and the girls had a blast. Allison really enjoyed her cupcake.....guess we'll know what to expect when we have her birthday party!! I have some more pictures on the other camera to download as well, so stay tuned....

The girl of many hats.

Allison wasn't a big fan of her birthday hats.

especially this one....
and this one...

CUPCAKES!!

Emily loved her green cupcake.....and a few goldfish too!!

New Years 2009 - Destin, FL

We went to Destin over New Years and the weather was great. Everyone had fun playing in the sand and flying kites. Uncle Jonathan and Aunt Corrie stayed with us a few nights. The girls had a blast with them and Mark and I enjoyed all the babysitting!! This might have to be a yearly event!! I can't get some of the pictures downloaded on blogger, but I'll keep trying. Hope everyone has a wonderful year!!

Allison's surgery

Allison her ear tubes put in last Tuesday. We had to be at the hospital at 5:45 so we were VERY tired. She did great; they took her back at 6:54am and the doctor came and talked with us at 7:01am. So far, so good!!!

Daddy and Allison being silly!
