Seeing Santa

It was quite an ordeal to get all three of these little girls ready for a trip to the mall to see Santa, but we did it! Eliza and Brianna were so excited to see Santa until it was their turn, then they both burst into tears. The only way to get them to stop was for me to be in the picture with them. We finally were able to get a cute picture. Kaitlyn slept through the whole thing. My three cuties.

My little Santa baby who is growing so fast. She is up to seven pounds now.

Thanksgiving 2010

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. Everyone came to my Mom's house. Everyone helped with the meal and it was a feast! The girls had so much fun with their cousins. Later in the day after having pie we all went and saw the movie Tangled and it was so cute. It was a really good Thanksgiving. Below is my little family. Getting ready to dish up!

Halloween

The first two pictures are just random but I thought they were cute of Brianna with Kaitlyn and me with her. After them are Eliza's Preschool Halloween party that parents, siblings, and grandparents were invited to. Eliza was Sleeping Beauty and Brianna Tinkerbell. For the ward trunk or treat and for Halloween Eliza was Tigger and Brianna was Piglet because it was cold outside and they needed warmer costumes. I loved all their costumes.

Introducing Kaitlyn Rose

We had a little miracle happen last Wed. 10-20-2010. At 4:38 AM. Kaitlyn Rose was born almost 4 weeks early. The miracle is that even though she is so early and was only 4lbs. 13oz. she is doing so well! Isn't she bright eyed! She is awake more than Eliza or Brianna were at this age. She eats really well and even though when we brought her home on Friday she was down to 4lbs. 5oz. she has gained 2 of those oz. back.

Here she is on Friday when we brought her home.

Below is shortly after birth.

My sister Alyse was going into the MTC the morning Kaitlyn was born and she got to see her on her way to the MTC. She felt it was such a blessing for her to see her before she left on her mission.

Eliza's 1st day of dance and school and an update on me.

This baby really wants to come out but it is just too soon. After going to the hospital two different times and having them stop my contractions I am now taking medication to stop them and on complete bed rest. Hopefully she will wait a few more weeks before she makes her appearance. Below are pictures of Eliza on her first day of ballet and her first day of pre -school. I can't believe she is big enough to be doing these things.

She loves both of these activities and is learning and growing so much. It's fun to see.

Brianna's Second Brithday and Sliver Lake

It's hard to believe but Brianna has turned two! Where has the time gone? We celebrated with my extended family at our Sept. family dinner. Below is Brianna with her twin babies that grandma gave her. Opening presents.

All the family celebrating a double birthday party for Brianna and her cousin.

We went to the park with her cousin and sister for a little party.

It was a fun party. Happy birthday Brianna. For Family Night this past week we went to Sliver Lake for a picnic then walked around the Lake. It was beautiful with the fall leaves changing.

Fun times.
