Christmas 2009





Kate got dress up shoes and new PJS!!!!

Hanna got an MP3 player!!!



Aunt Stacia and Liz got the girls a Karaoke Machine!!!!





Poppi got the girls $100.00 each! I don't think Ihave ever seen their eyes get so big !!!!







Girls got up at 4:55 am this morning but I quickly convinced them to go back to bed until 7:00 am. Before Hanna went back to bed she reorganized the gifts and peeked in her stocking. Kate came right back to bed but got up at 6:55 am and informed me ever so patently every time the clock moved closer to 7:00 am.




Waking up is hard to do for some of us!

Hanna's 3rd grade holiday concert

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL OF OUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!! Hanna's teacher is the young lady watching with a proud smile in the picture above. They have a great relationship which allows Hanna to look forward to each school day.


Hanna was very brave and tried out for the solo, she was not chosen but I was just proud that she had the courage to try out!!!

2009 Christmas Parade

HAPPY HOLIDAYS..............

The girls stared in their first holiday parade today. They both helped creating their costumes, Hanna is the christmas tree and Kate's the stocking. After all the time and energy they put into preparing for the parade Kate says to me this morning, "I am not wearing that rediculous stocking all around town" hence the upside down smile on her face in each picture taken.

Hanna and friends.....

Ms. Popular: She has a personality to love.....













Kate's 6th birthday

Kate had her 6th birthday party at the new bowling alley. What a big turn out, 22 kids but we were able to handle it all. Not sure how but every kid went back to their parent in one piece and Kate ended up having a great time.



























Bella and her cousins







Sometimes poor Bella does not realize how big she is compared to her cousins. We can't wait until everyone's the same size.

Halloween 2009

Despite the weather the girls and I had a great Halloween. We met up with friends in Watertown for some early trick or treating (in hopes to avoid the rain). I think we can consider this year a success, plunty of candy, wind blown but most importantly.... no rain !!!
I asked Hanna to show me her mean face!!!

I then asked them to show me what it would look like if they actually got along today !!!!!!

And this was the one moment today that Miss Kate looked happy.......... she did not want to stand up for the picture because ..... "Mom, I have a cape on, do you want me to FLY AWAY".........
