Pinkalicious!!

Laney was invited to her first birthday party for her friend Marlowe! Marlowe was turning 2 and had a Pinkalicious party! So we took full advantage to make sure that Laney looked Pinkalicious! I didn't bring my camera to the party, so bummed! But I got a picture of her when we got home! It was a great day and Marlowe was so sweet!

Her hat is starting to get a little small, so looks mad when she's wearing it :)

Babies!!

We had a super fun playdate last week! Matthew is lucky enough to get to go to the Slapnicher's to play instead of go to daycare! :) He loves playing with Malea and Micah and their awesome mom, Melissa. When I told Melissa that I was pregnant, she told me that she was also pregnant! :) And the best part... we were both having girls! Our due dates were a week apart!! Melissa had a scheduled C-section on Monday October 4 and I was induced with Laney on Thursday October 7! Our sweet babies are destined to be best buddies! Melissa's mother in law is also one of my mom's best friends, Betsy! I have known Melissa's husband since birth! Melissa, Betsy and the kids came over for a visit with my mom and I and my kids. Below are some pics!

Christmas 2010

I can't believe that Christmas is already over! Time is going way too fast! Laney had a great first Christmas! She slept through most of it but had lots of fun with her family! :) We started out the weekend on Christmas Eve celebrating with the Wise family. We had a birthday party for Jesus, opened presents, went to church and then had dinner. Matthew of course had a blast with his cousins! He loves having them all together! Matthew's favorite gits were a pair of hockey Grandma pants and a sweet garbage truck! Laney got the 2010 American Girl doll whose name is Lanie!! She had to have it! Christmas Eve night Matthew put out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for his reindeer. He was so excited to put his stocking out! Christmas morning started around 7:00... which was pretty impressive considering! Laney slept in so Matthew started opening presents by himself. His favorite were his Hastings Hockey sweatshirt and his Playmobil jet! He made a haul though! We went a little overboard this year but he enjoyed it and has been playing non-stop with all his toys! We finally woke Laney up and Matthew opened her presents... she got lots of clothes and a plush Cabbage Patch doll!! Christmas Day we spent with the Schwiegers. It was a super fun relaxing day! The kids played outside. It was so cold, when they came in, they all curled up with blankets and pillows and watched movies for the rest of the day, they were all tuckered out from the day before I think! They were so adorable! Later in the day, the guys brought the boys skating which was the highlight of Matthew's day! We had lots of fun preparing for Christmas this year... Matthew really got into it. The best present we got was our little Laney! Enjoy some pics! I uploaded them backwards, so we will start with Christmas Day!

Our Family! (Christmas Eve night)
