Just Dance!

For Christmas, Keeley received a Wii game called Just Dance. It is a lot of fun to play, and even more fun to watch!

We had our neighbor friend, Kaplan, over for a playdate, and the girls got to dancing. I got to camera-ing! ;)











How cute are they???

A special visit

In December of 2007, we had a visit from some cousins, and this year they were in town again!

Remember Alexa?

We had such a nice afternoon visiting and catching up, and I only remembered to snap a quick picture right before they were about to leave, so here it is!! :)



Gosh, they've grown!!

Merry Christmas!

Santa came, Santa came!!!!!







A stretchy octopus!!


A kitty that walks by herself!! (This was the other item she told Santa she wanted.)






Luken had bought a small gift for Keeley with his own money, as his own idea! :) We helped Keeley pick something out for Luken, as well.


Hugs!!


Then, on to package-unwrapping!






















Keeley received a Bitty Baby from Grandma and Grandpa, and a matching outfit, and they decided to take the baby for a walk. (Please note how Keeley is dressed on the way OUT!)






And when they arrived back HOME, THIS is how she was bundled up!


Sharing some new art supplies with Grandpa.






Beautiful artwork!


What a wonderful Christmas we had!!!

Christmas Eve, 2010

Yay, let the festivities begin!!

Todd's parents, Don and Carol, flew in the night before Christmas Eve, and we spent the day hanging out and catching up.

Sweet Keeley, in front of the tree.


Hanging out with Grandpa and Elmo!




All ready for Christmas dinner!




After dinner, it was time to decorate some cookies to leave out for Santa!






Then, time for the PJ present tradition! Luken had totally caught on this year. There was no tricking him that the present was anything but new PJ's! :D




Cute, snuggly kids!


But, neither of them predicted a BONUS present!


Pillow pets!! Both kids had asked for one, and I thought they went along well with the PJ's.


Keeley named hers "Lumpy Jumpy" because the wrapped present had been "lumpy" and her unicorn apparently really likes jumping. :)


Then, Grandma read "The Night Before Christmas" to the kids, and tucked them in for the night!!


Later, we grownups had our dessert - I had made a pumpkin pie and a coconut cream pie. I don't like coconut, so I thought it was icky, but I'm told it was yummy. ;)


Then, we all headed off to bed to make sure Santa had time to visit!!
