December 2010...What a MONTH!!!

"Daphne" showing us her teeth. Do you think Bri could fix that class 3 bite?

December was a special month for Kelcie. She lost a tooth. Very exciting when you are 5!

Tay got new shoes and a K-State soft blanket for his b-day.

Happy Birthday to Tay he is 13!! Can't believe it. Thanks to everyone for the cards, gifts and phone calls. It has been a pleasure being his mother. Can't believe how time flies...
my little tator tot.

Seven in one blow...oh wait that's 13!!!

Lex with her usual pose for pictures and gingerbread house fun.
We had some friends with us for an exciting gingerbread day.




PIANO RECITAL

Kelcie with "Nina" or maybe it would be better to name her El NINA. She destoyed Taylor's carpet in his bedroom by digging it up to the sub-floor, tore off the weather seal on the bottom on Brian's garage and tore up the insulation in his garage....all while howling nonstop for 10 days. Obviously she is not ours, we were watching her for a friend and it was a nightmare!

WORN out!! This is about 5:30 pm Christmas Day. Kelcie had so much fun!!

Although Tay doesn't love hunting, he has some fun Pheasant Forever decor for his room.

"Coal" for the GOOD boy...he doesn't deserve real coal, he's a good kid.:)

Jessie was ecstatic that she doesn't have to use her hard-sided Jazz lunch box any more. I happen to think the old school metal lunch box kind of rocks!

Ear Muffs are three times as cute when all the sisters have pair!!

Some sweats for Tay.

Slippers for Kelcie, I don't think she has taken them off since Christmas.

Jessie really WANTED these slippers. Her Daddio surprised her with the exact ones she wanted.

Funny how much the girls enjoy Polly Pockets. I love that they are not Barbies :)

Kelcie was MORE than excited...her exact quote "see Dad, I told you he would bring me one"

Never know when you will need a hat with a light on it, now Tay can read EVERYWHERE!

A little future brain washing going on...maybe they can go to school in Utah or Kansas. A little encouragement for the church school :)

A very excited Jessie.

Exactly what he wanted...Need For Speed Hot Pursuit...we hid it untill all the other presents were opened. He was quite excited!

Take a closer look and you'll notice the beautiful color of Kelcie's lips as she's modeling her new lipstick that got broken off shortly after Christmas!

Jessie is working her artistic magic with her new pottery wheel. She did express a little frustration at the difficulty of the project but still created a lovely pot!

That pretty much sums it up. Santa made it to our house and we had a wonderful year. We are grateful for many blessings one of which is the great honor and joy we feel in being a part of our forever family. Love to you all. We pray for health and happiness for everyone!
