Merry Christmas 2011

Wakey, wakey children. Up and at 'em! Time to unwrap gifts! Christmas is here!Christmas was fun and exciting as usual this year. The girls got mostly everything their little hearts desired. Hey, even Andy and I got what we wanted, too! Amazing. :o)

Merry Christmas from The Happy Ketter Family!

Twas' the night before Christmas 2011...

And look what mommy did!

...Um, maybe that's not how it goes...

Oh well, look what I did!

Nighty night, children. Sleep tight.

Fun times happen in the morning!

Oh, Christmas Tree

Above is a photo of our 2011 Christmas Tree Cutting Adventure. We spent the rest of today decorating it. Kassie picked it out for us this year. She did a great job! We decided to go against our normal blue spruce tree this year. Instead, we opted for a nordic fir. They are a tad more pricey, but they don't shed their needles like the spruce does. It has a different look to it, as the branches on the spruce are more to *my* liking. It smells great, which is a plus. I can say overall, I am pretty pleased with the tree. Even our cat seems to like it. Dexter keeps chewing on the branches! Here are a few pictures of the girls decorating the tree.

And below is the picture of it decorated in all its glory.

Now we can't wait for Christmas!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town

Or at least to the local mall. :o)

The girls and their annual picture with Santa. Pretty soon they'll be too old to to enjoy this so I gotta take advantage of it while I can. They love it. Too bad Santa won't be getting them all their requests. (Ahem. No live hamsters...) Hee hee.

Halloween 2011

Fun times this year!

Andy and I did not dress up this time. We just didn't feel like it. But, of course the girls did!

Madeline as Tinkerbell

Kassie as Sailor Girl

Sydney as Tickle Me Elmo

(She did not get away with dressing up like that without me tickling her! I got her good!!! :)

This was taken at my parent's house when we first started to go Trick or Treating.

They got so much candy. I see a trip to the dentist in our near future....

Happy Halloween 2011!

Cowgirl Madeline

Madeline decided to play dress up as a cowgirl and use Sydney as her horse. Sad thing was, Sydney actually let her do it!

Just proves the fact more and more that I have goofball children...

Yes, they are all wearing the same shirt. This year when they went shopping for back to school with my parents, Sydney made the suggestion to dress in the same shirt. So, they searched for one they all liked and this is what they chose. Then, they surprised me with it when they got home.

I thought it was cute. :o)
