Last week we made our Christmas Sugar cookies. Everyone had fun - especially Kaelin, Hailey and Dominic! Hailey tried.

Then she decided just to eat the frosting!

As usual - Kaelin LOVES sprinkles!

Dominic liked eating the frosting too...and sharing with Bandit!

Our finished masterpieces:

Wednesday - Picadilly Parlour - Take 3

Wednesday was Barb's Mommy's birthday (as Kaelin calls her). We suprised her at Picadilly Parlour for lunch! I didn't get many pictures - but here are the few I got!

Great Grandma Howell & Grandma Barb

Hailey - I LOVE THESE TIGHTS!

The group - though of course Kaelin isn't paying attention.

Thursday Kaelin got to eat dinner with Santa and Aunt Amy - I didn't get pictures from Amy though. Kaelin had a 'very fun day' according to her!

Sunday - Picadilly Parlour - Take 2

Today Grandma Barb and Kaelin went to Picadilly Parlour to have lunch/tea with Santa! Kaelin was so excited! We curled her hair and she wore her Christmas dress! She had the best time! When she came home she spoke about it constantly.

We get to go to Picadilly Parlour again on Wednesday for lunch! - It is Grandma Barb's Mommy's (as Kaelin calls her) birthday! I am sure to have more pictures then!

Here are some pictures taken today by Grandma Barb!

**Thank you Barb again for taking her! It was so special, and hopefully a tradition that will continue!

Monday - Picadilly Parlour - Take 1

Monday (11/30) we met Aunt Amy & Dominic, and Grandma Barb at Picadilly Parlour (the victorian tea room for kids) for lunch. We had such a good time. Kaelin and Grandma made reservations to go back Sunday for Lunch with Santa!!! She is so excited. Here are some pics from our lunch.

Grandma Barb and Kaelin

Dominic - so cheesy

Crazy Hailey!

Winter Pictures

Jecca came on Sunday to take winter/Christmas pictures. She is so patient! The girls were not very cooperative. Hailey really didn't want pictures this time (she is usually really fun for pictures). Here is what Jecca was able to get - let me know if you want to order any of them!

Tree Decorating

As in tradition we decorated our tree this morning - always the day after thanksgiving! Kaelin LOVED helping and was very excited. Hailey likes the lights on the tree. Both girls were very happy to see our first snow - and hold it in their hands this morning - too bad it melted away by 11am!

Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving was a fun day! We started at Cindy and Keith's for brunch and then moved to the Magee's Thanksgiving at Aunt Ruth and Uncle Gary's. The kids were suprisingly good seeing as how they didn't get naps! Kaelin loved to play with her second cousins - we almost forgot she was there at one point, she was playing so quietly! Hailey was a ham and loved sitting with Papa.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Amy made Grandma Magee's Pinneapple pie - so we had to take a picture.

Hailey loves PIE!!
