The Month in Review

Well, with Christmas and New Year behind us, I'll give you a recap on the month.

Grammy and Papa were here for Christmas and New Year and we had lots of fun with them.  

Michael's company had a Christmas party for the kids again this year.  Katelyn had been asking for months if they were going to have it again.  She wanted to see Santa.  Noah loved Santa.  He just sat right up there with the jolly guy.  :)

Michael's nieces came to visit for an evening and Katelyn was in heaven. I love these girls.  They really are awesome.  I'm thankful Katelyn has older cousins to look up to who are such quality people.

Katelyn knew Stefanie was coming and she came downstairs in this outfit.  She got herself all dressed up and fancy.  So cute.

Instead of a gingerbread house we made a christmas tree with an ice cream cone, frosting and candy.  Katelyn loved this project and ate it as soon as I took this picture.  

We took the kids to Southern Lights with Grammy and Papa.  An annual tradition.  It was Noah's first time.  He loved all the lights.

And here's Grammy with the kids.

The monkeys on Christmas eve.

Noah did pretty good opening a few presents.  He really just wanted to eat the bows though.

Noah's first Christmas!  What a great year it has been!!!

Katelyn left Santa her list with some milk and cookies.  We sprinkled reindeer food on the front lawn so they could find us.  :)

The kids love their daddy!

We took the kids to the Louisville Science Center for a Science and Play exhibit they had going on. It was awesome!  

We were there for three hours and only got through half of the museum so we upgraded to an annual membership so we could visit a few more times during the year.  We had so much fun.  Katelyn's favorite subject is science and she was totally in her element.  And we got to go to a great Cuban place for lunch while we were in Louisville!

Would you just look at this face!

Katelyn likes to fly around the house in her butterfly wings....

...and dress her brother up. 

Katelyn got a science set for Christmas and she loves it.  Here she is hard a work.

Grammy and Papa with their three grandkids.  I wish they liked these children.  ;)

These two are always together.  It's really sweet.

Noah just wants to be doing what Katelyn is doing.  He tries so hard to get to her stuff.  

Katelyn got this dress from Grammy and Papa for Christmas and couldn't wait to wear it to church.  She looks so grown up.  STOP GROWING UP SO FAST!!!

Handsome!  And again...STOP GROWING UP SO FAST!!!!
