A Ride With Santa

Last night, we went to a free Christmas celebration at a shopping center near our house. There were carriage rides, refreshments, and Santa. Our girls were so lucky. Santa walked up to them right before we got into the carriage and visited with them. Then he decided to ride with us around the parking lot. The girls were so thrilled to sit next to Santa and talk to him.

Santa :-)

The girls went to see Santa this afternoon.  We thought that Kacee might cry when she sat in his lap, but she just walked up to him and climbed on up.  She had seen Karli and Kenzie do it, so she just did it too.  As a matter of fact, the only time she cried was when she had to get out of his lap for the next family. Enjoy the pictures!!!

Karli's 2 Year Family Day

Today has been 2 years since Karli has joined our family. It was definitely rough at first, but has gotten better every day. Kenzie and Karli are best friends and play together constantly. Here are two pictures of Karli on her Gotcha Day and one from last week.  She sure has changed a lot.

Kenzie's 4th Birthday

Kenzie turned 4 yesterday. We had a family party today and invited one close friend. She picked a Scooby Doo theme for her party and was so excited to be the center of attention. Here are some pictures of the day.
