Merry X-Mas & Happy New Year

It's 2012 and the blog is back. Before we jump to the new year let's wrap up what was a special holiday season. The girls were really into the holidays this year and their month long of patience paid off with many gifts and special prizes! Mom and Dad got to enjoy some great holiday bonding time with the kids and extended family that came to town. Thanks to everyone for all the generous gifts as they have all got lots of use and have a special place in the girls hearts. Here is to a happy and healthy 2012!

Patience is a virtue - the advent calenders were a daily ritual this year!

Several rounds of gifts this year as the girls enjoy out of town surprises - sing into the mic!

Knock-knock - who's there? Thanks Uncle Scott for the playhouse!

Taylor's favorite gift...The pajamas! OK - maybe its the bike and she's already a riding pro!

OK so Dad snuck in some Monster Trucks for Christmas and they were a big hit!

Time to bring in the New Year!
