#3 for Kerri

She said she just popped it right out with her tongue - no blood, no drama, no tears. She's also very confident that the tooth fairy will know where to find her - even if she's not at home!

Christmas 2011

We've had a wonderful weekend celebrating Jesus' birthday, participating in some amazing worship at our church, spending quality family time together, eating way too much candy, and receiving some fun Christmas surprises! The great part about living in a state away from your families is that you get a week long Christmas! We'll be hitting the road bright and early tomorrow to continue celebrating for a week! Merry Christmas!

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas

I way under-ordered our Christmas cards this year, so here's an online version for all those who didn't get one (Georgia people - you get to see us every week, so our friends and family in 10 (!!) other states got priority). I guess I have a better idea of how many I need for next year! Merry Christmas to all!

12-11-11 (better late than never!)

I totally forgot all about my post this month! We've been just a tad busy!

Recap: In January, after looking through pictures of the past year, I noticed that I didn't have that many of the girls together. I decided I would make sure that I took at least one picture of them together every month and post it. Here's December's, and a look at a year of the girls together.

I love that it helped change my mindset, and I ended up with even more pictures than these that help reflect their actual life - being together pretty much all the time! It also wasn't much pressure because most of them were just snapped as we went about our daily life. I love looking back on the pictures and relieving the memories from that moment. I think that I'll do another monthly challenge next year! Maybe one where I actually end up in the picture since I think I can count on one hand the pictures I made it into this year!

Silent Night

All is calm

 even though it's bright!

 Sleep in heavenly peace!

Disney on Ice

Our little princesses enjoyed the show, and thanks to a friend's generosity, we had amazing seats! I forgot my zoom lens but still managed to get quite a few good shots because of how close we were.

Characters from Aladdin, Toy Story, Nemo, Pinocchio, all kinds of princesses/princes, Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, the Incredibles, Mulan, and so many more!  

I recorded the last little bit of the Toy Story army men song for my two not-so-little-anymore-brothers who loved Toy Story and who are now in the Army themselves. (I have no idea what I did to make it so blurry though...)

It doesn't get any more magical than Disney!

Catch Up

I'm pretty behind on blogging, so here's a little glimpse at what we've been up to lately.

Relaxing the week of Thanksgiving at my parent's house - pretty easy when this is in the back yard!

Visiting the Carolina Christmas at the Lowes Motor Speedway and Andy getting to drive on the track . . . in an minivan ;)

Kerri's highlight of the night was feeding the deer!

Roasting marshmallows three different nights in one week!

Building some Christmas ornaments

This one's dangerous with a hammer!

Santa looks like he needs a break!

Our 5th annual Christmas tree farm hunt for the perfect tree. (Still trying to convince the girls that bigger is better - they'd love to have a tiny tree!)

Who thought it was a good idea to give this crazy guy a saw?

Making Mommy nervous! She didn't have this for long!

Trimming the tree

Kerri took it very seriously this year! She had to find the "just right" spot for each ornament!

Tree up, stockings made and hung, mantel decorated! It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here (too bad I've had to have the air condition on at some point most days this week!)

We also went to Disney on Ice this past weekend, but that will have to be its own post - too many pictures!
