Waiting for the tooth fairy

Rylee has had some loose teeth for quite a while now. She has anxiously been waiting for one to fall out so that the tooth fairy could pay her a visit. When she got home from school one day, her bottom tooth was hanging by a thread, so I convinced her to just let me pull it out.

Here she is with a big gap on the

bottom, but so excited!

Close-up! She loves to stick her

tongue in there now.

Getting in bed to wait for the
tooth fairy. Oh, and I forgot to mention how this made Sydney crazy. She was scared to death of the tooth fairy coming.

So proud and excited

Kamryn's big day!

We finally got Kamryn's ears pierced. I have been wanting to do it for a while now, but everytime I went, I left my camera, and I really wanted to have pictures of this. So, while taking a quick weekend trip back to New Castle, my mom went with me and had her camera along. She was 5 months when we had them done, even though, I am just posting them now.

She still has no clue what is coming.

Here we go!

That was not very nice mom.

With the other two, I timed it just right for a bottle following the piercing, but Kamryn's schedule was a little off. I tried some apple juice, but she was not having it. She really only fussed for a few minutes, then fell asleep and has not really even known they are there.

Way overdue

Ok, so I have had a lot going on, and have not posted in what seems like forever. But, I am going to try to get somewhat caught up. I like to keep things in order, and was missing pictures, so that was my actual hold up. HA!

New Year's Eve kids style

Sick and all, the New Year's celebration still went on. Rylee had her second round of strep throat and we were at the doctor's office this morning, but she still wanted to party. Nana and Meme got lots of noise makers and snacks. They played games and the wii at home while Brad and I went out. It was a great New Year's. Thanks mom and Jan for helping with the girls so we could go out too.

New Year's Eve

I can't remember the last time Brad and I actually went out alone New Year's Eve. I guess that is what happens when you have little ones. We went out with friend's of ours to a house boat. I was so excited to buy a new outfit and new shoes with somewhere to really go. We had a great time.

Christmas back in Virginia

Another round of opening presents. Santa left everything under the tree in Virginia, so when we returned from visiting our family in PA, we still had another Christmas celebration.

My mom bought Kamryn this adorable outfit for Christmas. I just love pink & brown. She looked so cute on our little shopping adventure to make holiday returns.
