Gingerbread houses at the O'briens

On Sunday our friends the O'briens hosted a group of girls and their mothers to their house to decorate Gingerbread houses. Here are some pictures of the fun times and each girl and their mom. We are looking forward to this Monday when we will decorate cookies and make ornaments. What fun!

It takes a whole lotta hands to make a Gingerbread Village.

Recently we had the Seneca Christmas parade. Here are Madi and her friends who all danced to Mariah Carey a thousand and fifty times (or at least that is what it felt like). They all did a great job since this was their first year walking and not riding. They all made it half way.

Christmas Pictures





Well, we did it! On only one try we successfully came away with a Christmas Card picture after a trip to Cross Creek on Wednesday. Here are a few of the cute pictures that we ended up with. I won't tell you which one I am using so that it will be a surprise. Merry Christmas!

Madi


Madi and Barry spent the whole day working in the yard the other day. Madi was most excited to play in the leaves. I thought these were cute pictures.


Thanksgiving 2008

We are so thankful to be able to spend three days at Barry's parents for Thanksgiving. The kids had a great time as well as the adults. It is always exciting when we all get together. And once again we had a great Thanksgiving complete with my favorite food, sweet potato pie (minus the sweet potato) just the topping! Grant just loved his uncle Nick at Thanksgiving. Uncle Nick was the only person that Grant would crawl to so that he could be picked up.
Big cousin Nicholas was the best babysitter. He played with Grant the whole time and taught him a lot. I know that Grant is going to look up to him when he gets bigger.
Yippee!
Madi and Cayman stayed outside from sun up to sun down. Pa gave made them a leaf pile for them to jump and play in. They loved being able to get all dirty and not get in trouble. Madi and Cayman (Cay Cay) are definately best buddies.





Grant

The "big guy" playing!
Grant loves to take wagon rides in the yard with Madi.
Yum, Yum! Grant loves to eat!
I just can't believe how fast Grant is growing. He is mobil now and into everything. Here are just a few new pictures of him. Isn't he cute.
