It's a BOY!!

Jason and Melanie had a baby boy!! Brock Leonard, 7 lbs 9 oz born on New Years Eve Day. Jason couldn't believe that it was a boy, as he was determined it was going to be a girl. The good news is that they are all doing well. He looks like a cutie - I can't wait to meet him.

Christmas Cuties!

Here are some pictures of our girls. They were all dressed up in there Christmas dresses and are just as cute as can be. We went to Christmas Eve mass and then went to Tina's for some fun. Mary Kate and Anna got Christmas PJ's that say, "I'm the Greatest Gift of All." That saying sums everything right up as they are truely the most precious gifts we could ever have and we love them so much!

Christmas at Connie and John's was wonderful. We had a car full of gifts to come home with, ate lots of good food. We ate more chicken lips than I thought was possible and Mary Kate tried several times to get her hands on the spiked punch! Jonah got a Wii so we had fund trying it out. Emily and Abby and Connie all spoil the girls rotten so we had lots of fun and laughed a lot too. We also went to Tina's on Christmas eve and Reagan and Mary Kate entertained us all. We had a wonderful time!

Scheetz's Christmas

We had Christmas at my moms house on Saturday. If you can see in the picture we had more gifts than ever. The kids loved it!! Jason, Mel, Dan and I gave the older kids a DS and they loved it. Mary Kate got a camera and already is becoming the next photographer. Anna got a John Deere telephone that she is chewing on and will be talking on before long! Danielle ended up getting a horse as well from Santa. She said, 'it's a MIRACLE!' We all had many surprises and have so much to be thankful for. Anyway, we had an awesome Christmas and it is definietly the best time of year!!

HO...HO...HO

It is that time of year again and what fun this year will be. We went to visit Santa last night and did the girls have fun. Mary Kate actually sat on his lap 3 times....we kept going back for another turn. Anyway, Santa asked what she wanted for Christmas and she said "Ride Deer"!! There were some reindeer set up around his village and that is all she cared about. And Anna got ahold of his beard and wouldn't let go. We hope Santa comes to visit us, as we are certain he bought TOO many toys and we definitely haven't been that good!!

My First Christmas!

Anna is 6 months now and just adorable as ever. Her hair is lightening up just a little and she is a big whoopin' 18 lbs. As we approach her very first holiday season she is in awe with all the lights and the trees. Under the tree is her favorite place right now. She will roll under the tree and try to pull off the ornaments or the lights and chew on them. She is definitely a mama's girl (I have to have one that will come to me over daddy!)

Snowflake Dancer

Mary Kate had her first recital at age 2! She was the youngest and cutest one there. She didn't exactly dance, but she did walk out and wave to everyone. One little girl cried through the whole dance, but not Mary Kate. She walked out saw what was going on, walked back stage to hide and then went back out for the ending. She even clapped for herself when it was all over - she was just adorable in her snowflake pink costume!!
