Christmas continued...

Shane brought an old TV to Independence to shoot up. First we shot the screen out and then we put a little explosive container inside of the TV. Shane shot the container and the TV just disintegrated. It was so fun!!!!

She is so beautiful!

Before...

After! Shane got it on his first shot!

Perfect bulls eye!

I loved how Lily was wearing her headband :)

Poor sick Riley

Our good friend Shalyce and her kids came over to play. We just LOVE her and her cute family!

Christmas in Independence

The whole family was able to get together in Independence this year for Christmas. We played at the park, went shooting, saw Santa and dance to a Wii dance game. It was so fun to be with everyone. There really is no greater gift in all the world than being with family for Christmas.

Lily was such a big help with the babies. Every time one of them started to fuss she would rush over to them and pick them up to calm them down. She is such a sweet little girl.

Waiting in line to see Santa at the court house on Christmas Eve.

Mallory and Makenzie. They are going to be the best of friends. The  picture on the right is a good overall picture of how the two babies were all week. Poor Mallory cried and cried. But her adorableness made up for it.

Sisters

Katie and Michael had their baby, Mallory, blessed while we were all together. Michael gave her a beautiful blessing.

Best Friend Cousins

Here is Makenzie with her best-friend-cousin, Mallory. Mallory is 2 months younger than Kenz.

Kenzie loves to put anything that's close to her face into her mouth.

I love little Mallory's hand on Makenzie's shoulder.

Milestone

This is a little late, but Makenzie lifted her head for the first time on November 9th. It is is exciting and she does such a great job. She also coo's and coo's! It is the sweetest sound you could ever hear.

My sleeping babies

She is just so cute!

Makenzie loves to put her hands on her cheeks while I'm breastfeeding her. It is so cute! This was right after she was done eating.

Blessing

Makenzie was given the most BEAUTIFUL baby blessing I had ever heard on Sunday. Shane did a wonderful job! She was so good during it too. She didn't cry at all! This little girl is such a blessing to our lives. Words can't describe how much we love her.

She was crying the whole time we were taking pictures. She looks a little calmer in this one :)

With her grandparents

Katie made her dress, headband AND bracelet. I have such a talented sister! Thanks Katie!!!

Isn't this the SWEETEST sad face you have ever seen?!

And isn't THIS the sweetest happy face?
