Breakfast with Santa '09

We went to Breakfast with Santa at Arkansas Children's Hospital. It is a wonderful event they put on to help raise money for ACH. Committee for the Future puts the on and they do a great job. The LR firefighters cook a yummy breakfast and you can have your picture with Santa. This is the 3rd year we have taken Karoline. As you can see...she prefers santa from a distance. It is fun to look at how much she has grown from year to year. Here are the past 3 years pics with santa.

a slightly safer version of the first pic.

first parade!

this was Karolines first parade. She started out a little scared but ended up loving it. She would tell everyone "cerry mistmas" or some version of merry christmas. So cute!

watching santa arrive on the firetruck.

decorating and dancing

We had fun dancing to Christmas music and decorating our tree last weekend. Karoline walks in every day and asks to turn the tree lights on and says "ooohh pretty" she loves having it in the house. Having a two year old during the holidays just makes everything so "merry". I LOVE IT! We have enjoyed getting into the spirit and learning more about "baby jesus" and of course "sanda"( k's words). We are so blessed to have her in our life!!!!! What a JOY!

tony is going to kill me for posting the video of him below but it is too precious not to!
sorry it is sideways.

garvin gardens

We went to see the lights at Garvin Gardens in Hot Springs last weekend. They were beautiful! Karoline LOVED seeing them! We had a great time with Britt and Dill as well.

a lady took a pic of all of us but didn't wait for us to all look at the camera. this is the only proof i have of b and d being there. :)

loving the marshmallows in the hot chocolate.

Taylors first birthday!

Taylor turned 1 the monday after thanksgiving. Jan had an adorable little party for her the friday before. She made the cake and the lady bugs in the cupcake stand are made of ice cream. Aren't they adorable! Karoline was the only other kid there so she thought she needed to be the center of attention and help Taylor unwrap and try out all of her toys. She loves Tay Tay!

We are having a BOY!!!!!!!!

Tonys brother Mike(thanks so much mike!) did an ultrasound for us during Thanksgiving. If you can't tell...we are having a BOY! We are so excited! Both sides of the family got to take a peek at our little guy. We are so lucky to be able to share the fun with everyone.

those are his legs and inbetween....well that tells us he is a boy! :)
