Cute Girls

Vanessa put Natalia to sleep by singing it was so cute...

Trista and Natalia in their new Christmas pj's...

Natalia fell asleep playing with her toys. Ryan insists this is the first time he has seen her fall asleep 100% on her own not in anyone's arms or in the car seat. I don't believe him but it is cute anyways :)

Christmas at our house

This was Christmas at our house. After we went to my parents we came home to open our presents.

Trista was so excited to get Moon Sand for Christmas she didn't even want to open the rest of her presents before she went and played it was cute.

I love Christmas orniments and Ryan got me one that said "Baby's 1st Christmas" and it had a picture of Natalia and I in it... so adorable.

each girl got one of these for christmas

Ryan finally got his pots. He didn't believe me that our whole family would benefit from these haha and I am telling you we have. Wow he has made some great soups.

After going to Mima and Papa's for Christmas and then to our house for our Christmas she just couldn't wait another few minutes. Trista was so tired. This is what she did while I was on the phone with my mother in law it was so cute.

Ya Ryan thinks its cute she literally has a mohawk in this picture but if you notice some of her pictures she has one dark stripe of hair the rest is so blonde you can't see. Yes if any of you knew me well enough I had and still have the same thing.

Trista was so excited to eat dinner at my parents she wouldn't quit watching the biscuits because she knew when they were done dinner was ready.

It was funny that everyone seemed to like stripes this christmas (minus me haha) my brother even had stripes on but wouldn't get in on the picture.

Holiday's 2008

Well here is a couple pictures off of my mom's camera that I got. My computer isn't wanting to network with Ryan's at the moment so you'll have to wait till I get on his computer for more holiday pictures. It was a great holiday. It was so fun having my little brother home even though it was not a fun trip to go get him and back wow terrible roads that day. What a magical holiday season it was though. How fun it was to share Natalia's first Christmas also. She loved the wrapping paper and whatever fell out of it she'd have to eat and see how it was haha 

Ryan put together Natalia's jumper at mom's before dinner he was so excited to put her in it. She thinks its so neat.

So anyone that knows my dad knows that Shrek is one of his favorite shows. Well last christmas we saw Shrek the Halls on TV and this year bought it and I refuse to eat hershey kisses anymore after seeing the show. So for Christmas my dad got me a gingerbread man orniment and hershey kisses inside. I love orniments and thought it was cool till everyone told me to open it. What a stinker he is. He is still laughing about that haha. 

Here is all 5 of us and my brother at my mom and dad's house on Christmas Eve

So my mom insisted on this picture because she has one just like it of me when I was only a month younger then Natalia at Christmas scary how much we look alike.

First Snow Day

Well its official. Trista has had her first snow day. Friday that they were to get out early for school and when it was their Christmas parties it snowed. They were just going to start school late but figured it was pointless since school was out early anyways. I thought the kids would be sad to miss their parties, etc... but not a bit they were so excited it was great. So their is a pic of Trista and Vanessa and just Trista enjoying their day off. 

School Music Concert

The girls Christmas Music Concert was the week before Christmas. They were so excited of coarse we have been hearing the songs for months. Trista was so worried she wouldn't get ready in time because she was with papa while I went to Twin. They both did so awesome I was proud of both of them.

Vanessa is right in the middle of the picture in the white shirt

Trista is on top row 2nd from right with piggies and a blue shirt.

This video is of the Carey Pre-School and Kindergarden singing one of their songs. Anyone that was at my wedding knows this song and will make you laugh but to see the kids do it was great. Trista is top row, 2nd from right in all blue follow her its funny. I have never heard a Carey crowd go so crazy it was awesome.
