Gracie's very own tree

Gracie has been "dying" to start decorating for Christmas. No time during the week to get it all out. However, we are getting our tree on Sunday but that just is still not quick enough for Miss Gracie. So I decided to surprise her after swimming lessons Tuesday night and we stopped and picked her up her very own tree/mini decorations. She was a happy camper! We'll plant the tree on our property after the holiday. 'Tis the Season!!


Again....notice the "Carlie" concentration tongue :)

The final touch!

Kids are Awesome

Maddy made this at school. I am going to forward the picture to Aaron....how cute!!! I know he will love it. Thanks Nadine for sharing with us...I am going to put the original in Aaron's Air Force Scrap Book.

In Gracie's Kindergarten class the day before Thanksgiving, they were discussing what they were thankful for. Obviously Aaron is missed and loved by his little sister. Are those pom-pom's in his hands?? HA!!!

Our children are our future and the ones we have brought into this world are pretty darn special!

SUPERSTAR

Gracie's birthday just keeps going and going!! She received this adorable outfit from the Roulst family last night. TOO CUTE!! I think it will be something she can even take on the cruise (less the tutu of course).

Thanks again to everyone for making Gracie feel very special and loved on her big 6th birthday!

HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY PRINCESS GRACE

Gracie's 6 - can you believe it?? Happy Birthday to our best girl - we love you so much!!
She got the crown, wand and purse from Aaron's best friend Nikki. She is excited for a fun day at school ~ it seems as if it will be all about her. Already got a stuffed puppy from her friend Abby and she can hardly wait for the brownies we sent - her favorite! She picked Red Robin for dinner tonight because they sing and they serve cantalope -- another favorite. She did ask me to ask the waitress to only deliver a scoop of vanilla instead of that "big ice cream with all the stuff on it". How is she my child?? HA! Hope everyone has a great day...I know we will.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2007!

Meow! Meet Gracie the Kitty. Another Halloween come and gone and I have determined that this is one of Gracie's favorite holidays. She loves getting dressed up, running from house to house ringing the bell and shouting "trick or treat!". Thanks to the Hayes' for again hosting us. Gracie and Maddy hit their neighborhood hard and could barely carry their bags full of candy before it was over. At one house Gracie hit the door bell about 3 times then started knocking. We were like....no.....give them a chance to get to the door! It was too funny. After that..new rule: ONLY ONE RINGY DINGY ALLOWED!! Good times and new memories.


Look who came by to trick or treat...Marco and Jr. CUTE!!!
Kevin is sooo fun ~ had the girls giggling and giggling and giggling.
