Our Daughter Emma

Will be turning 5 next week, So I wanted to take a few pictures of her in her very special dress that her 90 year old Great Grandma made her this year for Christmas. I can't believe our baby girl is growing into such a beautiful young lady, we are so proud of all her accomplishments. She will be starting Kindergarden this year..& Mommy is wondering where the time has gone! Anyone that has young kids, enjoy them while there young because in a blink of an eye there starting school! WE love you Emma!

My Grandma Riley's 90th Birthday Celebration

My Grandma Riley turns 90 this week, so this weekend we went & celebrated with her & the rest of our family. It was put on by all her kids. It was such a nice party, we got to see all her longtime friends & extended family. Emma got to show off her dress that her Great Grandma made her for Christmas, showing everyone that at 90 she still can make beautiful dresses:) She amazes me at how great she can still do things & not to mention how beautiful she is for being 90!!! She's so cute! I hope she lives many more healthy happy years, she has been a great Grandma to me & to my children. WE love you Grandma! Happy 90th Birthday!

Christmas Day

We really had a wonderful morning together, we had an early start since B had to get off to work, I made my french toast casserole, then we opened gifts. The kids got alot of nice gifts as did we. Here are just a few pics...

Merry Christmas !!

Santa Daddy

So Brian offered to come to Emma's classroom today to play Santa. He hid from the kids & said he went to the store & got ready in his Mom's room. As he was leaving he came to our door and knocked. So the boys of course went running as usual to see who it was, oh my if you could have seen the tears & screams as they saw the Santa!!!! It was so funny! I only got one pic of Brady running from the door in fright! And Austin observing, getting ready to run away, haha!! He looked great, I can't wait to hear what Emma has to say! I hope she doesnt know it's Daddy!! Haha

Emma's Christmas Recital

This was our first recital to attend of Emma's second year in preschool, & boy did we enjoy seeing her perform! She did such a great job & we didnt even know she was going to conduct the Alvin & The Chipmunks song! It was the cutest thing ever to watch all her classmates, Especially our lil girl!

Birthday, Birthday, oh what fun!

Today our Brady boy is 3 years old, Tomorrow Austy turns 2! Daddy is going back to work tonight, so we decided to celebrate the boy's both today. Daddy made special mickey mouse pancakes with extra love & threw some chocolate chips in them, they were tasty! And then they got to open there gifts from us, they really love them! Brady got a tonka fire engine & Austy got a cement truck. Fun fun!
