Kylie's Christmas Party

I got to meet Kylie for lunch the week before Christmas break!  Always so fun to see her and see her friends!

Kristie had Kylie over to make gingerbread houses and they were a hit!

I got to help plan Kylie's class party!  It was chaotic, but a blast!

We made these ornaments

Christmas Decorations 2015

Instead of going to cut out our own Christmas tree, this year we decided to save the money (which is a lot) and go purchase our tree at Costco!  Not as many amazing pictures of hiking on a hill and picking out our tree, but it saved us quite a bit and our tree looks great!

 Decorated for Christmas and presents under it

 Decorations

 Our fireplace

 Lots of fun presents!

 Our fun ladder

 Our china cabinet

 Our craft cabinet covered in Christmas cards!

 Nativity sets

 All of our Christmas cards through the years

And a view from the kitchen!

Thanksgiving

Our Crew right before Dan and Beau dropped us off at Aunt Heather and Uncle Mark's!  He headed home with Beau for another hour or so to take him on a good walk and get him tired out, so we wouldn't feel so bad having him in his crate while we did Thanksgiving!

Grammy took some pics of the girls - 

Hannah, Abby, Mary Kate and Megan

Laughing and talking

We met up with friends from Kuwait for dinner out at a pizza place kind of in the middle of all of us - who now live all over the area!  Pic of the kiddos

Beau watching the Dog Show - very interested in it!

Kylie had Michaela over for a playdate - which normally looks like the picture below...

Of them laughing hysterically!

I painted the Treehouse in the basement and Dan made me sweet little cottage shutters for it!  It was half painted light blue.  Now it looks adorable and Kylie has had a blast playing in it!

And Megan's new team on the courts during a clinic!
