What a great way to end the year! We had an awesome month. The girls enjoyed the tree and didn't break a single ornament (YET! Its still up...) Sydni's book debut was this month as well. It was very exciting to see her "published" ....haha! Then there are a few birthday pics that didn't get in my earlier birthday post. We went and saw Santa Claus at ABF with our friends. That is a tradition I really enjoy! I wonder if the girls will let us drag them down there every Christmas even in their teen years...

Sydni had such a great party! Her Dora cake was a hit and she got every gift she ever wanted (plus some that she didn't know she wanted and now can't live without!) Thank you so much to everyone that came and sent gifts. Sydni is such a beautiful and special little person. I can't imagine a life without her. She is a true joy.

This month we have some pics from our Branson trip. Mom and I got some great shopping in and Poppa and Daddy took the girls around Branson trying to keep them entertained.
Sydni also had her Thanksgiving program at school. They were demonstrating their character series they are studying about so her class were dogs and sang songs and did a skit based on the trait, compassion. She did a great job although I really wanted to see her dressed as a pilgrim or indian!! Maybe next year...

We had such a good day! I went and got the girls at school and put on their costumes at the White's House. I tried to get some pics there, but Averi was having a meltdown about the swing (pics to prove it!). Then we headed up to DTC for some candy. The girls looked adorable in their outfits. Sydni was even able to wear Belle shoes thanks to Kelly and Reaghan!! That evening I put the kids in the wagon and went down our block. It was so much fun seeing all the kids dressed up. We have a lot of kids trick or treating in our neighborhood. The girls got a CRAZY amount of candy...

I got lots of awesome pics this month! We have been busy busy! With birthdays and grandparents and pumpkins and football games...the list goes on and on. We have had an awesome fall so far with gorgeous weather. Enjoy the pics!

We had a month full of pictures! There are a few from Miss Maranda Sue's baby shower. She will be joining her parents, Jared and Penney, at the end of October. We are so excited to meet her! Then the last of the pool pics (by Joel) for 2008! I was hoping we could squeeze another weekend in, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen. We also went to the park a couple times this month. The weather has just been amazing! We rounded out the month at the circus!

This month there are lots of pool pics and playing with friends. Poppa and GranGran came up the last weekend with Matilda so we got some really cute pics then. The girls always have so much fun together. Can fall really be right around the corner?

What a busy month we have had! There are some park pics from 4th of July. The girls had a blast! Averi tends to forget how little she is...thinks she can hang with big sis. There are also some pics from Joel's surprise party. That was a lot of fun and I think we managed to surprise Joel! Oh, and Aunt Tiffani sent some really cute pics of miniature golf from the lake. We ended the month at the Davis' and some marvelous fajitas! yum! Wonderful month!

What a fun month! You have already seen most of it through the special posts I made on our recent pics page but here are some of the rest!
Sydni had her recital with the Jitterbugs. Its a dance group at her preschool. She looked adorable but mostly just stood there. The other girls were slightly older and a little more into it so I am hoping next year she will do more dancing!
Averi is doing well. We had a run in with an ear infection but the antibiotics are helping. She is SO ACTIVE. I really don't remember Sydni getting in this much trouble at this age. HA! But she is a joy with the most beautiful smile of any baby I have ever seen.

I don't have as many pics this month. I think with Ave's party then all the sickness we didn't have many photo ops. But there are some cute ones from the beginning of the month at Corporate Family Day at ABF. Then of course all the pool ones! We are in full summer mode here!

Averi had a wonderful time at her first party! Thank you so much to everyone that came and all the gifts. It makes me so happy to know you guys love her as much as we do. She is a very special little sunshine. Sorry the pics are out of order! I got them from different people. Enjoy!

We had a big picture month! Lots going on I guess...Sydni got a new bed. She is very excited about it. And no falls in the middle of the night (knock on wood). Averi is loving her rocking horse. Its funny...Sydni was always scared of stuff like that at Averi's age. Not this little one! She is a daredevil for sure! Averi also plays a pretty freaking adorable peekaboo. There are some pics of that :) To end the month we went strawberry picking with the grandparents. The girls had so much fun!

a few extra days. So, I am sure she will get her fair share of Easter candy!
 

There are some of the girls just playing and lots over at the White House for some pizza and more football. It was the first time we got pics of all our new 2007 babies. TOO FUN!
We also went over to the Davis' for Jared's birthday. We had some great Mexican food (Thanks Pen!) and some fun for the girls too.
