Sisterly Love Part 9....Pedicure Time!

It's been a while since we've had a "sisterly love" post (well....it's been a while since we've had any posts....) so I thought I would share with you something fun they did together a couple of months ago. These days, Marissa and Allie are pretty much inseparable, so whatever one does the other wants to do. And ever since Marissa went to get her special pedicure last year, she has been begging me to take her back to get another one. I told her that they are only for very special occasions, but if she wanted, mommy would be happy to give her one just like her special one! And of course, since Marissa wanted one, so did Allie. :)

So that's what we did! I set them up in front of their favorite show, Max and Ruby, got them some bowls with warm water and got to work. Luckily their sweet little feet didn't need a lot of scrubbing, but they sure enjoyed it :)
Exited for pedicures and Max and Ruby!

Silly faces!!



All done! Sweet smiles and pretty toes! :)
Marissa decided she wanted her fingernails done also...Allie was done sitting still at this point...

The finished product...complete with a fancy purple flower and polka dots!

Happy New Year!

These pictures were taken the first week in January....2012 is looking pretty great :)
We've got our little helper and our sweet baby boy....

And silly Allie :)

Christmas 2011

Daddy and McCoy in their Christmas outfits :)

Christmas Eve we had the Allen's over for what turned out to be a little bit of a chaotic evening....but we still had fun! Poor Allie broke out in a strange rash all over her body so I was trying to take care of her and I'm pretty sure McCoy was crying...Thank goodness the Allen's are such great and understanding friends....In the meantime, Layne took the other 3 kiddos out to feed the reindeer!

And she got some super cute pictures of Bryce, Marissa and Avery :)

I guess the reindeer were extra hungry this year because they used up all of the oats.
After the reindeer food....we came in to make some cookies for santa!

Bryce and Avery were having a great time! I love this picture :)  So funny!

The next morning, Santa came a brought Jesse and Woody costumes!! Along with lots of other goodies!


And some Ariel hair accessories...

Woody and Princess Ariel

Having a tea party! :)

McCoy was enjoying his rainforest playmat!

This may be one of the best pictures ever :) That is some serious posing!

My sweet babies on Christmas morning!

So, so sweet.

Breakfast with Santa 2011

Sweet Sisters ready to see Santa!


Such a great picture!! No one is crying! :)

These two loved meeting Santa!


Family pic...McCoy was done by this point!
After Santa, it was time to head home to help Daddy with the lights for the oustide tree!




McCoy, Texas and I stayed inside :)
Everybody pitched in at first...

However, Allie soon found something more interesting.
But Marissa was faithful to help Daddy til they were all done!
