Alivia's Christmas Program

Alivia's Christmas progrma was cancelled due to a snow day so it was rescheduled 2 days after Christmas. We were so proud of her big singing voice. I was quite surprised because she is normally shy in situations like this. NOT this time. So proud of her little girl!

BIG voice!

Visiting Bass Pro Santa

The kids did such a great job visiting Santa today. Alivia didn't talk to him but she got up there with all smiles!! We tried to get a family photo but neither of the kids would look at the camera. ha!!

Learning to Read

Alivia woke up this morning and wanted to practice her letters!! I was shocked because this never happens. Of course, I took full advantage of this and pulled out my "teaching skills." ha! I was so proud of her when she wrote and read this word all by herself. She LOVES when I read to her but practicing her letters and sounding out words isn't her favorite thing to do. So...I have been getting creative to make it fun for her! My little girl is growing up so fast. She is going to be 4 in a few months. Crazy how time flies! We love our fun, sassy and loving little girl!

6 1/2 Months

This picture just tells it all about this little guy! I know I say this all of the time but he really is the happiest baby in the world. He makes our family so complete. We just love him so much!

Santa Bus

We love that the Grain Valley Santa Bus stops by our neighborhood each year. Both kids sat on his lap with no problem, I was shocked! Alivia was super shy but at least she sat on his lap. We had a fun day decorating for Christmas in our pajamas. I love this time of year!

Our Elf on a Shelf has arrived!!! TOO FUN!
