Having Fun

If I only knew how easy it would be to please my girls,

I could have saved a lot of $ this Christmas...

All it took was an empty laundry basket, a pillow from the couch and a summer hat,

to make for a morning of fun!!

Hold on tight!!!!

Thanks Kailyn for sharing your pretty hat with Hannah.

Hope your day is as much fun as ours.

Christmas Day

Merry Christmas from Hannah, Kailyn & Emily...

...Christmas Day was spent at Mom & Dad Keicher's. We enjoyed an afternoon with family & you guessed it, more presents!!

Kailyn is all set to head out golfing with daddy & Papa Tom.


OOOhhhh how pretty...A new comforter set!!

Papa kept Kailyn busy with the animal crackers from her stocking;)

Baby Emily's first Christmas!!!

After presents we enjoyed an afternoon with more family and a yummy dinner.

We are so lucky to be blessed with such wonderful families. It was a busy few days, however, it was all worth it. I think I had the most fun watching the kids. Their wide eyes and big smiles were priceless.

Let's not forget the reason for the season:

"Happy Birthday Jesus!!!"

Merry Christmas To All...
...& to all a good night!!!

Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!!

Our Christmas Eve started with 4 o'clock mass at Our Lady of Pompeii Church.

Then we headed to my mom & dads for our Christmas Eve Celebration.

Dinner was delicious with more then enough to choose from.

After dinner and yummy desserts, we moved on to opening presents!!

Keeping with a Christmas Eve tradition, we all looked for our stockings that are strategically placed on the Christmas Tree.
(Thank you Grandma & Grandpa)

Presents, presents & more presents.

Kailyn had the most fun playing in all the wrappings.

Only 2 more sleeps!!!

Just a quick post.

Plans for the finishing touches today!!

The Big Day is Almost Here!!!!

Well, there are 5 days left before Christmas!!! I guess I can say that I'm just about ready. I have a few things to pick up today and my shopping will be done. Gifts up to this point are wrapped. Just have to focus on baking a few more cookies, making chocolate pretzels and a few things for Christmas Eve & day.

I promise I'll post pictures soon...Sorry...

A quick update on our Breaking News from earlier in the week...Kailyn has successfully gone potty 2 x's now! How cool would that be if we could have her potty trained by the 1st of the year?? Is it possible?? Like with the bottle, I'm in no hurry to get rid of the diapers. I just want to hit the pause button and freeze these moments forever.

Have a great Sunday everyone!!!

BREAKING NEWS

BREAKING NEWS!!!

This happening right now,

Kailyn Rose just went pee pee

on the potty!!!

I was in the kitchen baking and she started knocking on the bathroom door. Soooo, I thought we'd see if she had to go. She sure did!!! Much to our surprise she went. This is the first time she tried and actually went...on her own. I think it's so funny, she was telling me she had to go =)

CONGRATULATIONS Kailyn!!!

SNOWDAY!!!

Oh the weather out side is frightful. But our view from inside is delightful. The top picture is an earlier view outside from our kitchen window this morning.

The bottom is a picture once the wind and snow started up again.

Wish I could keep the pretty snow around the window for the holiday.

Next is a view out the front window.

It's hard to see our neighbor's house just accross the street!
Here is the view from the garage:)
No we didn't get that much snow!!!
However the wind is hitting the back of the house so it is hard to see out the back door!!
If you are having a snowday today, enjoy & stay warm!!

Cousins
