Christmas Gifts form Aunty Jenny and Uncle Brent

Jessica and Jamison were thrilled with the Christmas gifts they got from Jenny and Brent. And, yes, that is a super large Beanie Boo!

Meet Lenny

Our family just welcomed a new kitten into the house.  We rescued him from an adoption agency.  His name is Lenny.

The Girls are Off to Their Piano Party

Every year, our piano teacher holds a holiday party where the kids play music and enjoy treats.  The girls loved getting all dressed up for their celebration.

Winter Concerts

Before Winter Break, the girls sang in Winter Concerts at their school.

Ice Skating Fun

Back in December, Jessica and a friend had fun ice skating.

Jamison also had fun ice skating.

Here are some pictures of the girls posing in some of their finery...

traveling to Florida in August

In early August, we went out to Florida to go to Walt Disney World and the beach.  The girls were very excited for the trip.  For the trip, Jamison had to have a suitcase just like her sister and she did not want any help dragging it through the airport.  Anytime you asked her if she wanted help, she would say, "No baby".  Well, we got lots of giggles going through the airport.

When we got to the Orlando airport, Jessica saw Goofy and just had to have her picture taken with him.

December 2011 Trip to Disneyland - Day One

Before Christmas, we took the girls to Disneyland to enjoy the holiday decorations. As soon as we got there, both Jessica and Jamison wanted to see lots and lots of characters. Luckily, a bunch of them were out and about on Main Street.





Jessica also wanted a family photo in front of the Christmas tree.



The girls also took a few photos together.






For Jessica, this trip was all about roller coasters. She wanted to go on them again and again. One of her favorites was riding the Matterhorn with her Daddy.



While Jessica road rollercoasters, Jamison and I hung out as she isn't quite tall enough for those big girl rides. She was all about climbing in ways that she shouldn't and working on fastening buckles. She was majorly obsessed with my backpack for this reason.




Both girls had fun riding the tea cups.



And, they enjoyed riding the rocketships, although sharing the controller was hard.



The castle was quite beautiful all light up at night.

Santa Breakfast at the zoo

A few weekends ago, we took the girls to a Santa breakfast at the zoo.






Jessica told Santa that she wanted lots of dolls for Christmas.



She then had fun decorating gingerbread cookies. The more frosting and candy the better!





Both Jessica and Jamison made Christmas ornaments for the tree.





The girls had fun riding the carousel.





And, Jessica had fun trying to ice skate.

decorating the house for Christmas

This year, Jessica helped decorate the Christmas tree. She wanted to hang all of the ornaments.



She also helped decorate the smaller tree in her bedroom (along with Jamison) and was proud to show that off as well.





Jamison loves all the lights and has a serious obsession with our outdoor flamingos.



Meanwhile, Squishy has found a new home under the Christmas tree.

a costume birthday party

A few weekends ago, Jessica and Jamison went to a costume birthday party for some of their friends. Jessica went as Mulan (her Halloween costume, which is getting lots of wear this year). And, Jamison dressed as a fairy princess. We snapped some pics of the girls before we left for the party.







Then, they posed for some pics once they were at the party.





Jamison had fun playing peek-a-boo in the toy house.

And she also had fun hanging out with her daddy.
