Maddy all ready for her big day in middle school. I'm not sure who it was harder for me or her. I felt like I was feeding her to a pack a wolves. I can only trust that Justin and I have taught her to make good decisions.
Jordyn was very excited to get on the bus and meet new friends.
The most exciting part of the morning was having our neighbor the Sheriff park his car on the side of the road. Lets just say all the cars passing by make sure they are going slow when the see his car.
At the end of the summer we watched these two sweet little girls who have become good friends with Maddy, Kayla and Jordyn.
We had a wonderful Christmas with my brother Justin, his wife Chelsea and newborn Jackson in town visiting us. I think holding the baby won over playing some of the new games and toys. The top toy for Kaden was his choo choo trains.Kayla is enjoying her new DS Lite playing Super Mario and Diego. Jordyn is enjoying her time fixing her new American Girl doll Mia's hair and clothes. Maddy cannot be pulled away from her new camera and her dads gift (Rock Band).
My house has been shaking since Christmas and I have learned I may not be able to hold a note but if I scream the songs I get high scores. Rock Band is definitely the number one gift in our house this year.
This year I decide it would be fun to invite a few of our friends to enjoy a FHE filled with carols hot chocolate and the Bull Run Festival of Lights. We had allot of fun and shared some wonderful holiday memories. This will be a first of many I hope.
The Turner girls went to New York with grandma last weekend. It was allot of fun. We has a blast at the American Girl Store. Where we had lunch in the wonderful cafe. This cafe is all girly girl, pink with frills every where. They even had a special chair for the dolls to sit in at the table and little mini mugs for the doll to drink out of. It was definitely a little girls fantasy world.
The kids had alot of fun decorating the tree and drinking hot cocoa. This was also our first year to have a real tree. The sad thing is I keep forgeting to water it. Thankgoodness for Justin who seems to remember at like 10pm.
