1 little 2 little teeth are missing...

Braden's missing teeth

Braden was so excited to lose his first tooth on Tuesday (1/12) and then lost another one on Thursday (1/14). He was brushing his teeth both times when they came out. The tooth fairy came and gave him $5.00 for his 1st tooth and $2.00 for his 2nd tooth. I couldn't get a natural shot of the missing teeth so when I saw this picture...it was perfect. He feels like such a big boy now!!

My American girl...

Ansley's first American Girl doll. She loves babies so much and my mom wanted to get her the Bity Baby from American Girl for Christmas. Well, Ansley loves her baby. My grandmothers bought her outfits for her baby (which I didn't think she would be into yet) for Christmas as well and she loves to change them, maybe alittle too much. There are some days where the baby tries on all there outfits. I just love playing with her and watching her nuture the baby at such a young age. She will be the best mommy one day!!

Lazy New Years Eve

New Years Eve 2009

As you can see we had a job on our hands. Braden and I love building lego sets and this one was a challenge with 890 pieces. He was so excited to get this from nana and pop. It is the exclusive anniversary edition with about 10 of the star wars guys. Braden loves to pretend play with the lego figures. This was a fun day!!

CHRISTMAS MORNING 2009

Christmas was so much fun this year. When Braden and Ansley came down the stairs they were so happy and excited for each other. Ansley saw here little red rocking horse right away and didn't get off of it for probably 15 minutes. She didn't realize there were other presents to open. She was a pro at opening presents...she did not need any help. Braden was super excited about all of his gifts and we even put one of his Wii games in the chimney so it looked like Santa dropped it out of his bags. That was so exciting to see his face when he noticed it in the chimney.
