Christmas 2006

Kaitlynn was so excited for all the things that Santa brought for her. She got lots of sweatshirts, a purse, and a Dora cash register. She did get a lot of other things too. She loved it. Santa came to our house a day early (since I had to work)... so Kaitlynn got several days of Christmas.

Kaitlynn's Uncle Mark helped her open her Christmas Eve present. She really loves dressing up now "like a princess" she says.

Santa came to Grandma's house too. She got a firetruck and a Dora castle.

Kaitlynn's cousin Derek was dressed for the occasion.

Papa got some smiles out of Derek.

All tuckered out from so much giving and opening presents!

Happy Holidays to everyone and have a wonderful new year!

Mark & Sherry visiting

After ice skating, we went back to the house and Kaitlynn opened her Christmas gift from Sherry and Mark.

Sherry and I have been friends since 5th grade. It's amazing how much we have grown and changed... and still appreciate and love each other! It was nice to spend time with them.

Ice Skating party

Kaitlynn went to her best friend, Addy's birthday party. Kaitlynn had never been ice skating before, but she did really well. My best friend, Sherry, and her husband Mark came up to visit us from the Springs that same day, so we all went ice skating! Scott really doesn't like ice skating, so he stayed off the ice and took pictures.

Kaitlynn didn't last long on her skates, but she didn't complain and no one fell down!

New friends

We have made some new friends down the street. We have a lot in common, in fact, it's a little creepy how much we have in common. We have started spending time together and the kids enjoy each other's company too.

Kortny and Kaison (he'll be 3 in March) came over to make cookies for Santa. Steven stayed home with Khyler (she is 3 months old.)

The kids got to play outside for a little while, but it was really cold out!
