My girls in January

 Annie fell asleep in the middle of everything

 Katie's first day as a sunbeam.

 Katie decided to collect and only play with her pink things.

 Annie playing

 Because we only have a two bedroom apartment it is very rare that Annie gets to sleep in her crib she usually sleeps in the pack n play in our room so this was a lucky shot! :)

 Awww she is so precious!

 Little Sister and Big Sister

 I sure do love these girls!

Christmas in Louisiana...finally! Part 1

Christmas in Louisiana! We had a marvelous time with Grammy and Grandpa Smith and of course Aunt Dara too!  It was so much fun to get to spend about two weeks with everyone and especially to share Christmas with them.  Even though Stephen is one of nine kids in his family we were the only one who made it to Christmas this year with kids so our kids got a ton of attention and got super spoiled!  I loved that Katie and Annie got time with Grammy and Grandpa it was a great and memorable Christmas! I guess I will let the pictures speak for themselves (there are a ton)! This post will cover up to Christmas Eve. By the time Christmas rolled around there were a lot more of us: Grammy and Grandpa, Amy and Landon, Kim and Landon, Trisha, Dara and obviously Stephen, me, Katie and Annie!  We had a blast! The pictures uploaded funny so they are out of order but oh well here they are anyway.

Merry Christmas in Tampa

One of the last things we did in Tampa before going to Grammy's and Grandpa's in Louisiana was seeing the  lights at the near by shopping center.  They had fake snow falling, (I guess it is a Florida thing to have fake snow since they never get to see the real thing!) Christmas music playing and Christmas lights glowing.  We got some hot coco and watched the lights and Katie dancing it was a great night.  I also threw in some pictures of the girls being girls!

Here are some pictures of the girls in December.

My girls are both just so wonderful and I love them more than I can say! We are getting more and more excited about Christmas.  Katie plays with her little people nativity set all the time and is enjoying shaking all of the presents under the tree.
