Christmas Day 2008

Christmas morning after Santa visited!

(sorry the video didn't load well, I will try again)

This is why parents don't mind the craziness of Christmas morning - the joy of seeing Tylar react over the doll house I put together for her was literally "PRICELESS".

Tylar made these stockings all by herself and hung them for Santa to fill. Lucky her Santa had a few extra candycanes.

This the Toy Box mom and dad gave Ryann - she now knows she can fit in it easily. Good thing for child proof hinges.

The doll house for Tylar and Ryann (although Tylare thinks it is for her) from mom and dad. Mom had fun setting up all the furniture and dolls. Aunt Rachel would have been jealous.

Christmas Caos - remember those wonderful mornings that you don't have a care in the world? We had a fantastic Christmas day, very relaxing with everyone Happy and Relaxed.

Fall 2008 Gymnastics

Tylar finished her 1st "big gym" class, the things she has been working on are more technical and she has learned how to really control her body on the different components. As you can tell from her smile, I think she might like gymnastics.

This was Ryann's 1st Gymnastics class and she had Ms. Janet, we sure do love her and the class. You would think the class would wear Ryann out but it only pumps her up. I know, why do I keep signing her up - well she simply LOVES IT!!!!

Tylar giving a new meaning to "standing in your sleep". I couldn't help it, it was too funny when I found her literally standing in her sleep.

Decorating for the Holidays

Here are a few pics from Hershey Park - "Candylane". We did get some of Tylar smiling toward the end, thought you would all enjoy our crazy adventure. The other kids are Luke, Leah, Madison, Luke, and then Ryann and Tylar.

Well - we have been busy in the last few days. We now have lights on the house and bushes out front, a tree up AND decorated thanks to the girls tonight. The girls had fun having Matt lift them up to put ornaments up high, Tylar loved putting the Angel on the tree for the finishing touches.

We visited Santa at the White Marsh Mall a few days ago, with the girls very excited to tell Santa what they wanted. This is the best Santa ever, and the girls were great waiting especially since the camera broke and we had to wait in line over 1 hour - it was worth it for the girls not so sure for mom and dad.

Happy Holidays and we will update after Christmas - Love you all.

Well we are trying to get ready for the holidays - here is a picture of the girls at the festival of trees.

Now you have us!

Well hello world of bloggers - I have finally set up a family blog (now Kara you have to start on Chelsea). Let me say this from the beginning - I am not good at keeping things up to date on a daily basis so you will just have to wait on the edge of your seats for each blog update I get around too. I know you all love me for it - I am working on it so here it is.
