Bryden's Little Gym Show

Bryden had her Little Gym Show last week for her ballet / tap / gym class. She wasn't as into the dance and ballet part as much as she was last session, but she still rocked her show! She was so proud to perform infront of Memere, Pepere, Nanne, Grampa, Uncle John, and of course, Mommy, Daddy and Emmy! Bryden was so beautiful in her leotard and with her hair straightened and with her long and elegant dance moves! Enjoy the pics!

Happy New Year

We rung in the new year with our friends The Reed's. They are our neighbors and they have two kids that our girls play with several times a week!!! One of the many, many benefits of having young kids still...they can't tell time yet! Ha! We celebrated the new year at 8pm and had the kiddos in bed by about 8:30! But, we had a great time enjoying dinner and playing games, and celebrating the new year and spending time with good friends!!! Enjoy!

Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas!!!! We had a great Christmas this year. Both girls are at such a fabulous age to really enjoy themselves, and Jim and I really enjoy watching their joy! We invited a customer that goes to one of Jim's stores everday down for Christmas Eve Mass and dinner. We had a great time celebrating with John and he enjoyed sharing in our family evening as well! Bryden helped him open some gifts and really loved sharing in his joy with him. Bryden is at a magical age at 5 years old now, everything is so amazing to her, and it is so cool to watch her enthusiasm for the Christmas season. And Emmy, at nearly 2, knows who Santa is and what he says ("Ho Ho Ho Hooooooo"...haha! So cute!), and she LOVES him, but she doesn't get yet what he represents, but she did have fun opening all the gifts that Santa brought! Bryden had a blast opening her gifts and helping Emmy open hers. And as you'll see, Jim enjoyed his big gift too..."It's an award, I won an AWARD!!!" Haha! Enjoy!

Our Nighttime Glow

We LOVE Christmastime in our house. Jim is like a big kid with all the decorations and of course the girls love them all as well. I need to get a picture of the whole yard, but Jim keeps adding to it, and we still need to get some lights on the house, but here is a sneak peek! Enjoy!
