Rachel's Year End Review - 2009

Rachel, what have you done this year?I went from SCOOTING to WALKING & now running!

I love my Daddy! And he calls me "Pal"

I turned 18 months old & Mama took so many pictures of me that day!

I finally grew enough hair for piggy tails!

On vacation, the elephants were my favorite. Too bad I couldn't get as close to them as I was to this llama.

I got to wear a pretty dress for my cousin April's wedding.

I had lots of fun over the summer.

We all went to New Jersey, for Daddy's cousin's wedding.

I turned 2!!! We had a big party!

My baby doll is my favorite toy!I had fun at the pumpkin patch!

Mama dressed me up in this darn monkey suit!

I perfected my cheesey smile!

My favorite game is "flying" with Daddy!
I can finally climb up on the window seat by myself!

And I had a very Merry Christmas!

Olivia's Year End Review - 2009

Olivia, what have you done this year?

The 2nd half of Pre-School was pretty fun.

Graduating from Pre-School was lots of fun too!

Vacation to St. Louis was awesome! And I was so excited to get to stay in a hotel & go to the big zoo!

Once school was out, the fun really began! I spent the summer playing all the time!

I turned 5!!!
I went on vacation to New Jersey with Daddy!

I learned how to swim without a back-pack!

I was brave & did a couple of dare-devil-ish things.

I started Kindergarten!!! I love it!

I did the mini-m squad dance team!

Then we all went back to New Jersey again.

I learned out to read in Kindergarten & I show off to Mama every chance I can get.

I went to the dentist twice - no cavities!

I had fun at the pumpkin patch!

I went trick-or-treating with the Brownies!

Mama told me it was time to start earning my keep.

And I had a very Merry Christmas!

Just Because

Our Christmas

These two girls had a wonderful Christmas.

And, in turn, I had a wonderful Christmas.

Christmas Eve, prior to going to Jarrett's parents and my Grandma's I took some super cute pictures of the girls.

We all had so much fun Christmas Eve night. Good food & good conversation at Jarrett's mom & dad's. Presents, laughter, & people filled the basement at my Grandma & Grandpa's.

We got home, got all tucked in & the girls slept all night. We were up around 8:00 to see what Santa had brought.

Christmas Day was filled with much love, laughter, & presents. We were at Jarrett's mom & dad's then my mom & dad's. The girls had so much fun!

What do you know, we ended up with a white Christmas after all. Love it, but not so much 2 days post Christmas & we have nearly 4 inches at my house.

And to close the post, how about a kiss from my girls.
