Silly Quotes

While driving to a party one night recently Eric and I overheard the following:

Mikaela: (starting to sing)
Haylie: "Mikaela, stop singing! I'm trying to daydream!"

Christmas Bowling with the Cousins

Instead of trying to buy gifts for all the cousins this year, Eric's family decided it might be more fun to take all the kids bowling. Good call! The kids had a great time and the parents didn't feel the pressure of trying to find the perfect gift! Everyone wins.

I think this might have to be a new Christmas tradition.

Happy faces and lots of fun!

The "Three Beauts"! One day, I know I'll get a decent picture of Mikaela-if she ever sits still. Sheesh!

Drama Squaw Lives!

Yes, I haven't blogged in what seems like a million years and I feel really bad about it, but I've been BUSY! Blogging has had to wait. Unfortunately, that means I have a lot of catching up to do (again) and now I'm already behind in the new year. Oh well, that's not really a surprise to anyone who knows me. Actually, I think I'm right on schedule.

Anyway...here's Haylie as a native american indian. She and her classmates were given the option of dressing up for the "First Thanksgiving" at school. I thought being an indian would be easier (and totally more fun) than trying to come up with an appropriate pilgrim costume. Luckily Haylie agreed with me and thus, we have Haylie the indian, aka-Drama Squaw! She had a great time dressing up and gave me specific instructions to keep the outfit so she can wear it next year.
