Christmas catch up

Well I really have been meaning to update my blog with our all of our December & Christmas happenings so here is goes..
In Mid December Hannah had a mini-dance recital. I video recorded the whole thing & only took a few pics but She did such a good job & has really enjoyed dance & all her friends there.
The whole gang!
Amber (Hannah's bff) & Hannah.
So on to our Christmas festivities. Christmas at our house was tons of fun. Here is The letter that Parker wrote to Santa. Kind of hard to read but I wanted to keep a copy of it.
Here's what our Tree & Present loot looked like before the kids woke up.
Christmas Eve we all got new PJ's & also kept our tradition of getting Chinese take-out for dinner. The kids did not want to go to bed & kept stalling. They finally were asleep around 11:30pm. We thought for sure they would be up first thing in the morning to open presents, but Travis & I woke up around 8:00am & they were still asleep. By 8:30 I couldn't stand it anymore and I snuck in there rooms & tried to wake then up & then ran back to my room to pretend I was still sleeping. We were all up about 5 minutes later.
Parker's Favorite gift was his Lego Indiana Jones.
Hannah's favorite was her Barbie Bike.
More present pics!
Christmas day Hugs!! So Cute!!

Travis had the camera so he kept taking pics of me (as you can tell I wasn't loving it.) But this pic does show off my new knife set I got for Christmas.

Travis & Parker playing with the loot.
All in all it was a great Christmas & we were very blessed this year.

Hannah is such a good big sister.   She loves to hold Olivia & play with her.  One day she got really quiet & I went in to check on her & she had fallen asleep with Olivia on her.  Tooo cute!!  Olivia 3 months old!  Trying to catch a smile on camera.  So Cute!!! Trevor wanted a picture of him. Parker turned "10" in November.   I can't believe we have a 10 year old.  We love him so much!!! Here is a picture of his cake.  I didn't get one of him blowing out the candles.

Who really reads my blog???

Well I haven't been good at updating my blog the past little while & often wonder if anyone really even reads my blog. I enjoy reading blogs of friends and family & get bothered when they don't update for months at a time. Well now I'm that person that isn't updating my blog. (oops!!) So I wanted to pass along a little bit of news and happenings at our home lately. Parker is enjoying being a 1st grader. He loves school & has just recently found a true love of reading. His favorite books right now are the Junie B. Jones (series) & The Magic School bus (series). He can't wait for spring to be here so he can start playing soccer again. Hannah keeps us busy. She is definitely a girl and has the attitude that goes along with it. She enjoys her dance class every week and preschool 2 X's a week. She's finally been convinced to write her name H-a-n-n-a-h instead of H-A-n-n-A-H. This battle took a while cause she insisted that she needed c

Hannah has been telling me for months that she needs a haircut and that Janae needed to do it. On Sunday afternoon we went to my mom's house and Janae was there to cut Hannah's hair. She told Janae that she wanted a princess haircut. Here's one of the only before pics I took. The princess cut in progress. (That is my brother Kevin in the background) All the hair that was cut off. Drying the hair Janae & Hannah after the princess cut was done. (So Cute!!!) Thanks Janae you are so good at what you do. WE LOVE YOU!!!!
