Above is an album of pictures of the kids from Sunday afternoon's fun outside!

Scenes from Saturday Morning Dance

I love Saturday mornings. They are probably the busiest time of my whole week - but also they are one of the most rewarding. Today was certainly no exception. Thea and her friend Ali went to dance today and here they are just before class. They are just gems!

Really I do have another daughter.

I haven't been able to get very many pictures of our Gracie as of late. Really, its true I do have two daughters! Its just that one of them moves quick as lightening and all pictures end up just being a big blur. I will be bringing her into the studio for pictures soon - they have faster cameras! Here is a picture of our Gracie, isn't she just a doll? (I am terribly biased.)

Sweet Little Grace

She is just a smiley little girl - daddy and momy sure love our Princess Grace!

Grace was fooling around and wrestling with her Elmo!

Christmas Pictures

This morning I got to editing the pictures I did take and ended up making them all black and white. I don't know why the settings on my camera got so goofed up - but they look good in black and white. These are all pictures from Christmas morning - kids in jammies and disheveled hair. Click on the picture and it will bring you to the photo album on picasa.

From Christmas Day...

Holiday Cards

Remember when I said I had all my holiday cards addressed and ready to be sent out? WELL considering things got turned upside down around here - please don't be too hard on me. I finally was able to get all the cards sent out on Tuesday. Your's should be arriving in your mailbox soon. If it arrives after Christmas please try and remember that there are 12 days of Christmas! Next year I'll be on time. This year I should just be happy I got cards out!

Grace's First Tractor

Gracie got some tractors from Grandma and Grandpa this year for Christmas. She loves them! This is a picture I took in the car of Gracie enjoying playing with her new tractors. (Quality not so good.)

Thea and Santa

Thea did manage to ask Santa if he could get her a walking pony because she's been wishing real hard for one. Thankfully Santa said that he would see what he can do for her. She smiled and thanked him, and mentioned one last time that she'd been wishing real hard for it. Somehow I think that Santa is going to pull through on this for her.

Thea and Grace with Santa

Grace met Santa on Tuesday. She was fine if she stood in front of Santa. However as you can see she was not so fond of sitting on Santa's lap. I thought the picture was too cute not to share. Perhaps next year she'll be thrilled to see Santa!
