Hallie is on Stage!!!



Hallie is on Stage!!!





Hallie was so excited to be on stage for the first time! The children's' Sunday school classes always perform a few Christmas songs for the adults! She loved it! She did a great job too!

We bought our tree at good 'ol Home Depot!! We let the girls stay up late to put it up and decorate it! I also captured some of Bowen's first smiles that night! What a great memory!

My Aunt Diane was a genius this year and bought all the kiddos these hopping balls that looked like horses! She lined them up and let them race each other! It was so cute!! They are a competitive bunch too! The pictures aren't great but we have to have the memory!

Doesn't this look wonderful...relaxing by the fire?!

Aunt Jackie had Hallie and Harper over for a Gingerbread Man extravaganza!! We read the story of the Gingerbread man and then made and decorated gingerbread cookies! When we went to get them out of the oven...they had ran and disappeared out of the oven! But don't worry, they left us clues to help us find them! We finally found them "playing" with the toys in the basement! The girls loved it. Hallie's best quote of the day was, "It was magical!"

Here are Sawyer and Bowen at Thanksgiving!! They are going to have so much fun growing up together!
