This thing is a blast!!

We enjoyed an awesome day with our Bauer family today! It started with sledding...which was ended up getting rained out (yes, rain in December...go figure!). We joined for lunch at our house then broke off for naps. We gathered together in the evening for cousin playtime and a fantastic family dinner. This was followed by opening Christmas presents and enjoying birthday cake for Mom Bauer and our nephew Bradley's recent birthdays. It's always a blessing when we're able to get together with family, however we missed our Texas family--the Pearsons! Love you guys! As this will most likely be the final post of 2008, we wish you God's blessings in the New Year!

Silly Lexie!

I got my stinky feet!!

I'm naked and I've got two nookers!! Life is good!!

I'm just so happy I can't hardly stand it!!!

Merry Christmas

Our snowy backyard

You know there too much snow when it's over the seats on our swings!

Sweet Sisters

Allie's green picnic

Aubrey had a yellow one

And Lexie just loves life

Sisters all dressed up for Christmas Eve church

Even I got in on a picture with the girls!

Back home after church...everyone got to open one present. Allie and Aubrey got monogrammed pillowcases to match their new sheets. Thanks Uncle Steve & Aunt Kimmi!

Time to get the stockings down!

That wasn't very exciting

All I wanted for Christmas was my Mickey Mouse!

Backyard Fun

The fun we watch in the backyard....it's been pretty constant action lately

The Family Christmas Present

We received a very generous gift card to Best Buy and we were able to purchase a new HandyCam! I can't wait to video the girls and share them periodically with all of you! This one is a little dark...I'll have to work on fixing that.

Here's Lexie doing some jumping in her Jumperoo...I guess she's not really jumping so much as she is swaying back and forth.

Allie and Aubrey coming home to their surprise!

Hanging out...More snow...Early Christmas!

Snuggled together engrossed in their show
Happy sisters

Allie's working hard on her picture...it's of her an Jayden in an elevator

Steve and Kim bought the girls new bedding sets for Christmas...it was a little early but while Josh took them to WalMart, I made their beds and surprised them Monday night. This one is Aubrey's

This one is Allie's...who also received an awesome fleece Ariel blanket from Sara for her birthday!

Happy Aubrey!

Happy Allie

Lexie is just hanging out before bedtime

Making snowmen in the massive amount of snow that we've gotten!

Snuggled in on a cold morning

Friday morning...yes, more snow

Jen's car looks like a snowball!

The snow is actually waist deep in the backyard!

This is after Josh shoveled a ton of snow off the roof!

I'm happy to be inside where it's warm!

Beautiful sunset...

These pictures are totally out of order...just look at the dates and you'll figure it out. Good thing you're all smart people! What's going on around here? Lots of snow and two sick girls...we're holding out hope for Aubrey to stay healthy!
