Baptism...the day after christmas! We jam packed the weekend, and took advantage of everybody's time off. Luckily Pastor Steve is accustomed to our family, he's able to just go with the flow by now...we consider him a member, and he can't get enough of us!

Grampa, the hat explains it all! This is my grampa, the girls' great grampa....he claims he can't see, but he knows when you're being naughty....We still don't know if he could read the hat or not but he was a good sport! FYI...the hat belongs to Syd, and is DEFINATELY fitting on her!

Hadleigh watched Syd long enough she knew what to do with her present, she just couldn't figure out how to make her fingers work like she wanted them to. Nice face Joey! After a little help from auntie Caley she had success!

Her first Christmas left her confused and sleepy, poor baby didn't know what to do when she had a bow plopped on her head!

And all 4 of us sitting together at one time...only happens once a year!

And it's a winter wonderland!

We had a busy busy Christmas, and things are finally starting to calm down after 4 days of being back home!

The days have been flying by in this house!

It's like I blink and we're on to the next one already...

Here's a glimpse for those of you who didn't get to attend our very SMALL birthday party for Syd last weekend. Thankyou mother nature for ruining the best intentions!

Can you tell she got lipstick in one of her gifts?

Luckily I have a quick camera so you get to see the smoke from the candles, thanks to daddy they were extinguished almost before they were lit! It was all kinds of crazy when we were supposed to be hosting the birhtday girls' party, no power, snow, and ice cold temps. Try telling a 3 year old she can't have a big party because everyone by grandpas had too much snow to come see her when she could look outside and see grass! Then finding entertainment long enough to not notice the lack of lights and heat. I'm seriously considering starting to celebrate in June at her half birthday instead of the middle of December!

And a couple of the girls I snapped while they were both in a good mood..
