VISIT FROM SANTA!

The Family with Santa
So a couples weeks ago my neighbor called me to see if we wanted to include the girls in a visit from Santa. The cost of the Santa to come I think was $75.00 and we divided by the number of kids so I think it was $15.00 for a present from Santa, pictures with Santa and Santa read the kids a story, they even got to eat cookies with Santa. It was a really nice time. And santa did a good job with all the kids. The girls were so excited. Makenzie told her daddy she meet the "real" santa.

Funny Hats!

My grandmother had these hats for the girls that someone gave her. Abby loves the one with winnie the pooh and Makenzie love the fuzzy one. So enjoy the pictures of my girls being silly.

Cousin time!

Last week my grandma was in the hospital so I watched my niece Payton for my sister Pam. Here are some pictures of Payton with the girls. They are just cute!

Thanksgiving 2008

WEll Thanksgiving is always a busy time for our family. On Thursday we usually go to my Grandma Henry's around 12 then we go to Dan's family around 6. Not this year it was so nice we went to my Grandma Henry's and stayed and visited Family and played Marbels. Well I didn't get my camera out I know bad Mindy. Friday I got up early and went shopping with my cousin wife Lori and we went over to Fields Ertel and man was it crazy! I got a few deals but I just wasn't in a shopping mood. We spent the day again at Grandma's house playing games and eating Penn Station for dinner. Then Saturday was Dan's Thanksgving at his mom and Dads. This year we had extended family in as well.
