Family Bowling Night

Ever since Sunday when the girls saw the bowling alley, they wanted to bowl. So, we promised to take them. On Tuesday night once everyone got into town, we all went. They loved it, and they wanted to mostly do it all by themselves. I was actually surprised they had shoes that small. I thought they were so cute, I had to take a picture of their feet. It was fun to get everyone together. We had a nice evening.

All dressed up for Christmas Service

Even though we were all under the weather, we got ready and headed to church for the Christmas service. Meme bought the girls all pretty matching dresses and mommy made them all bows to accessorize of course. It was quite a challenge to get out of the house ready on time, but somehow we managed.

Aunt Rene bought the girls a gingerbread house kit for an early Christmas present. Since we had already done one at home at a birthday party, we decided to wait and bring the kit to Nana's when we came for Christmas. Aunt Kiley is so crafty, so we thought she would be good at this. It turned out to be quite the project. The roof kept sliding off the top and the walls were collapsing. We eventually had to glue the foundation together. But it finally stood up, and the girls were able to decorate it. They had a lot of fun, and Nana loves the messy house sitting around as a Christmas decoration.

Aunt Kiley had a hard time getting the house to stand up.

We thought it was quiet funny.

Kamryn's 1st Christmas Party

On Friday we had a little Christmas party at daycare. We had Christmas cupcakes with lunch and opened presents, so I put Kamryn's Santa hat on and took a picture. She is such a happy baby.

No Christmas Cards Yet

Well, since it is already December 15, do I still have enough time to make Christmas cards. I love using pictures of the girls, but our photoshoot was not so successful. Little Miss Sydney was not one bit interested in cooperating for the pictures. I had all 3 girls in one of their holiday shirts in front of the tree, but not so much luck. I haven't decided yet if I am going to try again or just send out a New Year's card after all the craziness. I have never done that before, but I am considering it. Here are a few of the pictures I took.

This is when Sydney started acting up. :) I

couldn't even bargin with her.

I loved this picture, but had to cut Sydney out.

You will see why in the next picture.

After this picture, I just quit and started to wonder if it was even worth the fight.
