Christmas Eve!

So Christmas Eve is one of our favorite parts of the holiday. We started a tradition about 9 years ago to go see the lights and dinner. Since having our girls we have added a few things. The night starts out at Build a Bear. The girls pick a stuffed animal and dress it all up! Paytons 4th time and kennedys 1st. As soon as we saw the Unicorn it was obvious she would choose it! Then we head over and see the lights... it was SO cold so we did a circle and were gone. Paytons favorite part was listening to the story (nativity). Then we go to the Olive Garden for dinner SO yummy.. until Kennedy choked and puked all her dinner up! Time to go:) Then we get drinks head home make gingerbread houses watch Polar Express. The girls get to open their jammies and it off to bed, well after puting out Santas milk and cookies. This year aparently Santa wanted Chocolate milk :0. Then Justin and i watch Home Alone while finishing wraping

presents! So all these pics are backwards so if you wish start from the bottom :)

This is our finished house!

Look really hard and you can see Payton inbetween us in her seat :)

Such cute girls!

8 months

Here is Kennedy at 8 months!... (and 1 week) She is such a stinker all she wanted to do was eat the paper! She will put anything within hands reach in her mouth. She is in that wonderful stage that she will sit and just play, she will even watch a whole episode of Mickey without budging!!! We love this little buggaboo! This is the first time we have done a ponytail. Her chubby cheeks are to die for! I think she is about 18lbs now!! a far way from 5 :)

Paytons Dance Recital!

Paytons winter dance recital this year was AWESOME! She did such a great job dancing to Frosty the Snowman. Last year I was on stage with her helping her remember and this year she was on her own! I thnk she did amazing. Great job honey :)

Pictures with Santa

This was the first year we took Payton to see Santa. She loved it and was bouncing around in line. She couldn't wait to sit on his lap and tell him she wanted Strawberry Shortcake!

Waiting in line... not so sure what was happening!
Looking at Santa

After she saw him waiting in line.

Excited to see him!

Zoo Lights!

We went to see the Zoo lights with Tammi and Troy last week and it was soooo cold! But it was cute. Payton loves to see any lights and she loves the Zoo so it was a win win!!!!

Rollins Christmas party

The annual Rollins party was at my cousin Kristins house this year. The kids acted out the Nativity and it was so dang cute! Payton talked about the story the whole ride home and when she gets bigger she can be Mary! Grandpa was not there this year. He just got home from the hospital and isnt ready to go out of the house. We love you grandpa and hope you get well FAST!

Anderson Christmas Party

We had a great time at the Anderson annual christmas party. The kids play games, exchange gifts, and the adults have a white elephant gift exchange. We all met at Walmart and got 15 minutes and $10.00 to pick up a gift and get back to the cars. It was a fun way of doing it! Tammi got the best gift :)
