Dancing Princess and a Dancing Grandfather

Eliana got a dancing princess for Christmas from grandma and grandfather. She absolutely loves it--Grandfather even tried it too!!

Eliana is holding cousin Katie

Eliana had fun "holding" Katie. She's getting her practice in.

The Whole Clan

Here's a picture of Tina's side of the family which was taken on Christmas. We had a fun day!! We've also had fun this week hanging out with everyone--eating mom's caramel corn, playing Settlers of Catan, shooting things with the marshmallow shooters, holding the new baby, eating more of mom's caramel corn(no wonder she had to hide it!?!), and more!!

White Christmas

Well, it's going to be a white Christmas here. However, we're trying to get to Patty's!! We were waiting for Sharon's flight to get here, but she only got part way and now the airline is putting her on a bus. It looks like we'll be leaving tomorrow. It sure is pretty!

Making Christmas cookies

Every year we make lots of cookies to give the neighbors etc. This year the kids really got in to it. Especially painting all the sugar cookies. They couldn't wait to get them all painted to give to the neighbors.

Our Christmas tree

Here's Eliana by our tree! She keeps telling us all the princess things

she's going to get for Christmas. She just doesn't understand that she's not getting everything in the princess aisle.

Katie is here!

My newest niece is here. She was born on the 13th and is doing well! We all can't wait to see her at Christmas. Congrats Dan & Patty!!

This looks like fun!

Just thought we'd join in on this blogging thing. We'll have to work on setting this up, but it will be fun to share what is going on and all the funny things the kids are saying these days. Like Eliana saying recently, "When I laugh so many times it makes me throw up."
