Christmas 2014

Christmas is here!

The traditional family photos Christmas eve.

 The girls all dressed up. So beautiful! Love these girls.

 Our family 2014

 Kevin and Michelle and the girls.

Back at Grandpa and Grandma's house. getting really excited about presents...

had to get a photo with my favorite mother in law ;)

Santa's bounty all ready to go for when they wake up.
(my camera ran out of battery so I did not  get any morning footage but they were really excited for their gifts. Santa did well this year) 

 Christmas dinner

Totally done in the evening. fell asleep watching Earnest saves Christmas.

nearly Christmas!

 The girls got to see Santa together and have a chat...

Kevin and Michelle came over for the evening while we were busy with baking cookies and the like, brought a cool Frozen game and had a blast with the girls. The girls really love them and are becoming a real 3rd set of grandparents. Awesome!

The girls decorated cookies for presents and ate themselves into a sugar high...

 Kevin had given Caleb a deer leg which we obviously had to smoke, this is the finished result and of course was fantastic! Thanks Kevin! We got many great meals from it including Smoked deer leg 'Kroket' (croquettes) for Christmas dinner.

 Our tree, many of these presents were for each other - Kate really impressed us because she bought all of us presents from her own money.
And of course she wanted the one thing we could not give her - her 2 front teeth. ;)

December

A couple of random photos for December.

 Whenever I do a show, Kate always comes with and will do the kids crafts and things. Well this time they had face painting. She is a Panda I promise ;)

Anna and Jaylee playing video games - one activity saved for the weekend.

 Jaylee looking at Grandma's Christmas tree, so cute...

 Anna with crazy hair, Jaylee all dressed up,
Below Kate took a photo with Santa at another show. Also here Kate is making her own markers, very cool. Great present from Aunty Kirsten and June!

Kate's 7th birthday

Kate has now turned 7 - craziness... She is really turning into an amazing young lady.

This year for her birthday party we went to Chuck e Chesses. We invited her whole class and we really had a lot of fun. It was a really good choice and Kate really enjoyed herself.

 

Above you see her with chuck e cheese himself.

Part of going there was hanging out with Chuck e Cheese.

 

Here she is with her class mates and friends, they got pizza - yum yum.

 She got to go in the ticket blaster - and if you look closely she caught the 1000 ticket, ticket. She was really able to get some good prizes with that.

 

yum cake

 

Playing games are a big part of the chuck e cheese experience - the reason to go. And they really did get in a lot of game time. all ages...

This is Rebecca, one of Kate's closer friends, they really did have a blast.

NINJA GO!

Ninja GO!

This year for Halloween the girls were Ninjas! we had so much fun with it, as you can tell Kate was the red ninja, Anna the black ninja and Jaylee was purple. These photos were taken down the road from us - a small spot I found while biking. I thought it would be perfect with the fall leaves for photos. Anna really pulled if off well, you really have to look for her.

 I had some fun playing with the photo program on the phone.

 

Here we are waiting for the bus, they got to dress up for the parade at school.

 

 

 

At the school party Kate was dressed up as a mummy...

 

 

Trick or Treat!

 

as usual we went to Denton, here the ninjas are helping Grandpa and Grandma get the house ready for trick or treaters. Being on main street they get swamped.

 

 And they are off! We did have a lot of fun - the girls ate too much candy - ok me too...
