New Years Pics

We finally took the girls for their annual pictures. We were only 8 months late. Normally we try and get the girls pictures done around Kendal's Birthday, well she turned 5 in June. Oops. Kendal was cooperative this time and Hayden was not digging getting her picture taken. She wouldn't smile or she would stick her tongue out. We did our best and got a few good ones. Enjoy.

Christmas Time Fun

Thanksgiving Holiday

We spent Thanksgiving with the Kreider's up in Dewitt at Jason's mom's house. It was great to spend time with them. Hayden was not feeling well and slept most of the time we were there. After dinner Jaclynn and I planned out our shopping plan for Black Friday. We started early around 9pm on Thanksgiving, took a few hour nap from 2-5am and were out again. Jaclynn was a trooper since she really didn't have anything she needed to buy, we just enjoyed the time together. Jaclynn and Jason gave us some news after dinner. They are going to be adding to their family this summer. We are super excited for them and will hopefully get to visit up north this summer to meet Baby Kreider #4.
