We went to the State Capital to take family pictures as a surprise for my parents for Christmas. These are the only pictures I got! Pretty pitiful.

Thanksgiving, 2009

We had so much to be thankful for this year. I am most thankful for 2 healthy, beautiful, and sweet girls...
Making turkey cookies!

Kennedy and Camryn pulling the wishbone. I asked Kennedy what she wished for since I already have a baby in my tummy. She wouldn't tell! She prayed and wished for many months that I would get a baby in my tummy and her wish finally came true. She wants a baby brother!

Playing in the leaves Poppy raked this week!

We are sorry Poppy but it was too much fun!

Camryn sporting her Thanksgiving attire she made at school!
We also had a Thanksgiving feast at my sister's house the Tuesday before Thanksgiving but none of us took any pictures!

Hurricane Creek Elementary Thanksgiving Lunch

Kennedy's school had their annual Thanksgiving celebration lunch and Camryn and I joined them. YUMMY!!!
The kiddos all came into the cafeteria wearing their Indian vests and hats they made. It was precious!

Camryn ate every bite of her "cafeteria" turkey! That little stinker!

Camryn is my good napper but always the last to want to go to bed and the first to get up in the mornings. The other day I was getting ready for work and I told her to go wake up Kennedy so she could start getting ready for school. She said, "No Mommy. Kennedy doesn't like that and she will be grouchy to me!" It was so funny and no matter how hard I persuaded she would not disturb her big sissy's slumber.

Anderson's 1st Birthday!

Anderson turned one on September 21st. Holli and Allen had his party at their house and then cooked dinner for everyone. He really enjoyed his cake! :) This past year has flown by and he is getting to be such a big, handsome boy!

Silver Dollar "Silly"

This past weekend we headed to Branson with Gram and Poppy. This was Kennedy's second trip to Branson but her first time during the Christmas season. We had such a good time and the girls loved Silver Dollar "Silly" as Camryn would say. I was pretty impressed with their kids part of the park. Lots of fun rides! Of course the gigantic singing Christmas tree was fun to see! I love this last picture of Camryn looking up tryng to take in the whole picture!

Strawberry Shortcake and Custard the Kitty Cat

Camryn was the closest guess to how many Whoppers were in the jar so she got to keep them as her prize! She was so proud of herself!

Camryn and Kennedy were Strawberry Shortcake and Custard this year for Halloween. We has such a good time with family and friends this year. The Dennie's had us over for chili one night and the kiddos all wore their costumes and painted pumpkins. Kennedy had Monster Math at her school complete with costumes and monster cake and monster punch! She also had a pizza party with lots of games and candy. Camryn had a party at her school too! On Halloween night we went to their cousins house for some fun Trick or Treating and then a yummy dinner. The kids had so much fun playing together. Kayleigh and Grant were even able to make it in from Texas!

Party of Five

Todd and I found out on October 8th that we are expecting our 3rd little blessing! Kennedy and Camryn are super excited and of course Kennedy want a baby brother and Camryn wants a baby sister. When they argue back and forth about which one it will be Camryn says, "Well, can we have both?" I really hope her wish doesn't come true! Todd went to the mall after work one day and had these shirts made for the girls. They wore them to tell the news to the grandparents.
