Laura's Visit

Laura moved to Colorado last summer and decided to come out in February for a visit. We had a blast during this visit even though she left Kevin and the girls at home. We of course had to hit our favorite spot and enjoy a little Los Hermanos! My girls and Laura's boys had a great time hanging out, it is wonderful that after so long they get a chance to finally get to know each other.

Maddy's New Hair Do

Well not to be outdone by her older sisters, Maddy had to get her hair cut too! We went for the New Year holiday to Colorado to visit my parents and my sister Laura. Laura cuts hair and so the morning we left to come home Maddy got her hair chopped! She looks so cute and it is much easier for Mom to do. Now all my have the same do.

Taylor's 10th Birthday

Well Taylor did it, she is finally in the double digits! Her birthday was on December 11th and we decided to make it a small party.(or so I thought) We went out to dinner and then a movie (the girls went in their pjs and slippers) and then back to the house for a sleepover. It may be the last sleepover we have for awhile, we may just have late overs! All in all it was a good time and now my little girl is edging ever closer to becoming a young woman.

Festival of Trees

This year Taylor's dance team performed at the Festival of Trees. Here she is with her team before they performed. I try to keep in mind that they HAVE to wear the make-up but I hate to see my little girl all done up! We were so glad that Gramdma and Grandpa Jones were back in town for the Thanksgiving holiday and were able to come and see. We sure miss having them around but cherish the visits we get to have, only two more years and they are back home for good! Taylor and her group did wonderful, they knew all the moves and in my opinion were the best! She had sure loved the change from gynmastics and I am glad to see her find something she loves and is good at!

New Hair Do

Well Taylor and Lexi were bound and determined to cut their hair and they did it! Mom got tired of hearing about it so Tuesday we headed to the salon and the girls looked through a hairstyle book and found what they wanted. I was encouraging a more moderate change but they wanted it all off. Lexi was the most determined to get it as short as she could and paid little attention to the hairdressers as she played x-box while her hair was being chopped. Taylor was more conservative and was done first but after she saw Lexi's she wanted more cut off. The end result was really cute! Maddy really wanted to join the fun but she wanted her hair cut to her ears!! I promised her we would cut it some day soon, she got a Belle brush instead. We have almost finished our first week of being off-track, two more to go!!

Halloween

Halloween is over!!!!! Boy was this one a lot of work! After the girls each went through three costumes each they finally decided on THE one and I think the final result turned out pretty good. We had a party at the house and the kids got to go to two spook alleys in the neighborhood. Hopefully next year will be easier!

Disney World

These pictures are a little out of order but Errin was showing me how to make slides. These are the girls at Disney World!
