CHRISTMAS PROGRAM PICTURES

After Chloe's Preschool Program I snapped these pictures just minutes before Gracie debuted proof she had caught the flu from Chloe.
A rare momment these days of Lucas showing his sister brotherly affection!
Sorry it's so blurry--but here's Chloe performing with her preschool classmates.
Again, sorry so blurry---but here is Kaleb performing with all three third grade classes at his school play of Hanzel & Gretel.

EARLY CHRISTMAS IN HAYDEN LAKE

Scott's Mom & Tim took us and his sister's family to Triple Play for Christmas---it was a blast!!! Thank You Grandma Linda & Tim!! Gracie wasn't too hip on the water at first but after a while she was loving it and had gotten quite brave in going down the toddler water slides (with someone of course!) Daddy, Lucas and Chloe in the indoor/outdoor hot tub which was so nice to warm up in after enjoying the wave pool and slides!
Kaleb and cousin Andrew
Cousins-- Tanner and Tyler
Lucas loved the wave pool!

WINTER FUN

Kaleb, Chloe & Lucas... this isn't the greatest picture but boy were they having fun playing in the snow!!! We were all dressed up to go to a Church potluck and were going to get a family picture taken for some Christmas cards; However, as we were walking out the door Chloe puked everywhere! The boys still wanted to go so I dropped them off and came back home. I decided to at least get a cute picture of Gracie in front of our half-decorated tree!

GRACIE'S FIRST THANKSGIVING!!!

Gracie being held by her cousin, Taylor, with Chloe and her cousin Emma too. Getting licks of chocolate frosting from Aunt Jackie--Lucas is looking on and waiting for his turn!
Diggin in!! She liked to put the olives on her fingers but once she chewed it up she spit it right back out! I guess she's not a fan of olives but she loved the mashed potatoes and gravy!!!

FUN TIMES AT HOME

Chloe loves to carry Gracie around--usually Gracie pitches quite a fit about it but she was tolerating it here. Gracie knows where we keep all the diapers and changing supplies--when she needs to be changed she goes right to the cupboard and brings them to me!!! S0, we brought the potty chair in and the training has begun!!!!
Introducing.................Dr. Gracie Rainsberry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She has the blood pressure pump in her mouth and her glasses upside down-----anyone want to make an appointment????
Here she is with some construction goggles on---as you can tell she really likes to play dress-up!
