Christmas 2014

We spent Christmas in Breckenridge this year with Gma and Bill.  It was a holiday of firsts!  Mac and I have never skied, Billy hadn't skied in several years and Gma was happy to have a ski partner- me!

Mom and I made some great memories and I was glad to have her in school with  me but the real star was McKinley.  She loved her school and did fantastic!!!!  It was a fun yet COLD Christmas!

Happy 4th Birthday!

McKinley, I can't believe you are 4!  Time is going fast and I am so thankful to be making memories with you.  You are such a special girl, your personality is vibrant and your imagination blows me away.  You are a firecracker most days, specifically knowing exactly what you want and while we are still working on how to get it, I am so proud to be your mom.  I thank God every night for you and I honestly can barely remember the time before you.  You are my brightest light.  I love you sweet pea!!!!!!!

McKinley's 4th birthday

We celebrated McKinley's 4th birthday in style.  She woke up to her door decorated and breakfast of her choice (homemade waffles).  After opening gifts we got ready and headed to American Girl to pick our her own doll.  She picked Sage and them met all her friends for lunch.  It was a fun day.

Ballet

I can't remember if I have posted about this but Mac has been taking Ballet for 9 months now.  She is part of the Tippi Toes program and she loves it!  It's every Thursday and her friend Claire is in the class too along with two other friends, Lila and Anna.  They have their first recital in June.

Meet Ariel

With the new home came the dog- Meet Ariel, our sweet redbone coonhound that fits in so well with our pack!  We fell in love with her immediately!  The top pic is on the way to meet her brother and sisters, next pic she is settling in nicely and bottom pic shows Gma's approval :)
