easter morning
spring "bugs" concert
mimi came for a visit
her american doll 
sweetest girl i know
even their glasses match!On katie's birthday we took her to the american girl store. She had been wanting a doll for a while, and was so excited. We looked and looked, and when she finally decided... the store was out of her doll. We had to order it, and she was so sad. Even though it was her birthday, they didn't have the doll she wanted, and she had to go home empty handed....she didn't cry. She got big tears in her eyes, and said "that's ok". That doll was all we were getting her for a present. She didn't even complain, and I was so proud of her. The store ordered her doll, and said it would come in a couple of weeks. When it came, she was so happy. I was so happy for her. She is getting so big, and is such a wonderful girl. She astounds me daily with her sweetness. Her capacity to love, and to share that love, is beautiful to see.
New Years Eve

New Years shouldn't arrive without confetti!
A friendly game of Mafia....or maybe not so friendly.
Proof that boys never grow up.
Wii Just Dance for the kids...and Jenn.
....and it wouldn't be a party without a chocolate fountain!!Christmas Day
So we totally slacked and didn't take pictures in the morning. We did film it, but no still pictures. Oops. In the evening we go to Grandma and Grandpa's to eat dinner and exchange cousin gifts.
Austin is so thoughtful. He made that for Larry, and gave bells to Irene.
Operation from JoJo. Get it? Me and Operation? Pretty funny!
The kids eagerly awaitng more presents.
This girl loves her some Hello Kitty!
Christmas Eve, part 2
We always open PJs on Christmas Eve, and a family game. Then we play and hang out until bed. So quiet and fun. Maybe not so quiet, but very laid back. This year we got Hi Ho Cherry-O. I love my little family, and how much fun we have together.
Tiffany's cat Stretch. They LOVED him.

It is a little scary how well Katie can tweak her eyes.
