Snow Day!!!

Today was our first snow day of the year and we had a fun day at home in our pjs. Believe it or not, I think I was ready for a day at home after three crazy days of work! I enjoyed spending time with the girls and a quick adventure outside to take in a little bit of the beautiful snow! Thanks Becky, Austin and Matthew for getting us out for a little while!

Christmas 2009

This year Christmas was particularly fun with the girls. Olivia is just old enough to really understand the the presents are for her and be excited! We had a great time at home on Christmas morning - just the four of us and then we headed to Inez and Ashland to celebrate with the family. Danny and I were also both off work for the majority of the two weeks surrounding the holidays. It was a nice bonding time for the four of us!!!

Images Headshots

Ellie graduated from her modeling and acting class at Images last month. She did a great job and we were really proud of her. She learned so much in her weekly classes. At one of her last classes a photographer came in from LA and took the girls head shots. Here are a few of El's.

Tots Landing Christmas Program

Every year Tots Landing puts on an evening Christmas performance for the families of the children. It is always so much fun to see a little glimpse of what the kids learn during the day. I feel genuinely blessed to have found a daycare like Tots Landing. The greatest challenge of working the hours I do is balancing work and home. It sure does help to know that my kids are in good hands. Although no daycare is perfect, I have never once questioned whether or not the staff at Tots Landing loves my children. I know that they think of them as their own and truly love them. This year at the performace Ellie had a little trouble. She had a little anxiety about all of the people who would be in the audience. She pulled through and we were very proud of her. Olivia sure did well. She shook her little bells and stayed where she was supposed to be! It is so sad to know this is Ellie's last year at Tots. She has been there since she was 2 and I know she is really going to miss it there next year!

Great Wolf Lodge

A few weeks ago Becky and Jason and Danny and I took the kids to Great Wolf Lodge. We had a great time despite me having a bit of stomach trouble. The kids loved playing in the water and Ellie of course tried out most every slide. She loved being there with the boys. They talked about it for weeks before we went and have already started talking about when we can go again!
