Goodbye 2013!

New Year's Eve we went to the Village Tavern & they ring in the New Year every hour, it was so much fun! 2013 was a good year & I hope 2014 is just as good if not better!

Christmas 2013!

Christmas was so much fun this year!  Aunt Lizzy & Uncle Jason & our cousin Benjamin arrived Christmas Eve & stayed until after the New Year!  Christmas Eve we went to my great grandma's house to visit my dad's side of the family & then headed over to grandma Bess's house for more!  Christmas day was spent at my grandma Bess's house again, I was so happy everyone was together this Christmas!  We got so many gifts too!

Ryan's Preschool Holiday Program!

Ryan did such a good job singing his holiday songs today with his classmates!  We had so much fun watching him!

Lost Tooth!

Today I lost my top tooth, I am so excited for the tooth-fairy to come tonight!  I even wrote the tooth-fairy a note asking her to leave me 300 pieces of cash!

Breakfast With Santa!

Today was breakfast with Santa, Ryan & I had so much fun visiting with Santa & taking pictures with him!

Welcome Home Charlie Cinco & Holiday Program at School!

Today was an eventful day!  I had my holiday breakfast & singing program at school this morning & we got a new dog!  We found him on Craigslist, my mom & dad drove all the way to Mokena to get him!  He was with a family since May 5th (that's why they had named him Cinco) and they could not care for him anymore.  They had adopted him from a PetsMart adoption event, before that he was in a shelter & possibly with an older lady before that.  Charlie Cinco is in his forever home now & won't be bounced around from home to home anymore!  We are very happy he is a part of our family!

Christmas Ice Show-Hoffman Estates Ice Rink!

Tonight was my very first solo, I skated to We Wish You a Merry Christmas!  Although I had a little trouble remembering my number everyone is very proud of me!

Chalet Nursery!

Today we went to Chalet Nursery where we saw some real reindeer, toasted some marshmallows & I got a really cool balloon headband!  

A Visit With Santa & The Tree Lighting!

Tonight we got to visit with Santa Claus & see the tree lighting over by our Village Center!

Happy Thanksgiving 2013!

Kaylee Ready for a Birthday Party!

Happy Halloween-2013!

This Halloween Ryan was Tonto from The Lone Ranger & I was Raggedy Ann!  I wore my mom's costume from when she was six years old back in 1981!  Grandma made the costume & it sure held up well after all these years!  Ryan had his Halloween Party at preschool & I had mine at school as well.  We had to parade inside this year because it was rainy & cool outside!  The weather did not cooperate at all!  We had to head over to Woodfield Mall to do our Trick-or-Treating & when we came home we did a few houses on our street!  I had a great Halloween & so did my little brother!  Thanks mom for helping at my school party too!
