Where did she learn that??

Jenna received a gift of "dress up stuff" from Grandpa & Grandma T. She loved it! She wore it the entire time we were at their house. I asked her to pose for me, and without any prompting...she came up with this (hips and all!). We had a good laugh.

A Merry Christmas

Like everyone else, I'm sure, we had a very busy but great Christmas! We headed down to Illinois to celebrate with Mom and Dad K. (and uncle Danny) and then came home again to celebrate with Mom and Dad T. and family. We also had our normal Christmastime flu. Thankfully, it has only hit one...so far. For those of you who didn't get our Christmas card...don't feel bad. They got about as far as the thought in my head that I needed to do Christmas cards. Hope you all had a great Christmas! (These were taken down in IL)

Happy Birthday Allison Hope

Happy Birthday to our sweet six year old! Allison is our girl who is always full of smiles and has a GREAT deep-belly laugh. She loves to clean (I'm a lucky mommy!) and help me around the house. We love you sweetheart!

(Yes, I know there have been a lot of videos lately...guess we're lucky enough to be extra busy with a lot of birthday's this time of year...we still have one more to go. :-) Even though each birthday is special, you know you can't do a video for one unless you do one for all!)

Birthday Dinners

When I was young, my grandparents took us out for a special birthday dinner and we could go to the restaurant of our choice. We always looked forward to it so much! My Grandpa was a big "meat and potatoes" guy, but would take us anywhere...even McDonalds. We took Emma out for her birthday date with just daddy and mommy last night and she could choose any restaurant she wanted. As I imagined a yummy Bloomin' Onion from Outback (yes, she loves onions) or Pola Rosa Maria from Carrabba's or even the yummy salad at Olive Garden...she chose Arnies. Not quite McDonalds...but I did have to laugh when I thought back to my young birthday days. I'm sure Grandpa was thinking..."really???....any restaurant...and you're choosing McDonalds???" We did have fun though. I really love our one-one-one (or two, I suppose) time with the kids.

Emma Joy

Happy 8th Birthday to Emma Joy who turned 8 today! Formerly known as Emily, she has recently decided that she likes Emma. :-) (okay, I'm sure we'll still call her Emily too!) We love you, sweetheart!! (Emily loves music and the song on the video clip is one of her favorites.)
