Christmas 2009!

The girls were good this year so Santa brought them the one thing they asked for! Madee wanted an Ariel Barbie and Isabelle wanted a Tiana Barbie. Both girls were so happy when they came downstairs Christmas morning to find Santa had left them. We had a great end to 2009 and are very excited with what 2010 will bring.

It's all about who you know

Grandma Vicki has a fabulous job in which she contacts a lot of different people everyday. Somehow she knows someone who works in Hollywood! SOOOO-one day we came home to find a manilla envelope addressed to the girls from...HOLLYWOOD. The girls got autographed pictures from some of the girls who work on the Disney Channel

Madee is excited

Isabelle too!!!

Christmas at Grammy's

Christmas Eve was a Grammy's this year and the kids had a super time. We sure are glad we had a small Christmas this year! Everything was perfect and we loved that everyone was there. Family time was fantastic this year.

Grammy time!

More Holiday Traditions

For the third year we have dressed up Isabelle and she has gotten to attend the Arizona Ballet Company's production of the Nutcracker. Grammy, mommy, Aunt Liz, Aunt Sara, Audrey and Isabelle all went and had great seats this year; 2nd row in the balcony-perfect view!

Thanksgiving

We took our annual Thanksgiving trip to Rocky Point. We thought it would be fun to try the turkey dinner that the hotel restaurant cooked, we learned we will never do that again. Something about meat based stuffing instead of bread based just tasted weird. Below are the only two pictures we got on the trip. Apparently Isabelle was sick before we went down there and got even sicker while there. We ended up coming home early and spent the rest of the weekend at Phoenix Children's Hospital where Isabelle was treated for severe dehydration. All is okay now and that is what matters. We all learned to be thankful for our health.

Polar Express

I haven't posted in a while and thought now would be as good a time as any. I also want my sister to stop yelling at me to update.
On November 14th we took a drive up the mountain to Williams, AZ to ride on the Polar Express. It is such a fun event where everyone wears their pajamas, eat cookies, drink hot chocolate, hear the story of the Polar Express, and get to see Santa where he gives each kid a bell!
We got to enjoy the train again this year with Auntie Sara, Uncle Jake, Jonny, Lilly, Grammy and Grampy. The weather was really cold, it even snowed on the way up. It was a great way to kick off the Christmas season! It was so much fun!
