Taylor is FOUR!!!

We can hardly believe Taylor is four today. Seems like just yesterday she was still this baby...

Its been quite the ride these past 4 years. Taylor has definitely changed us (for the better). She is a smart, silly, uber girly girl. She has quite the imagination and is always making us laugh!! She loves to read, color, and make bracelets. She is also very into pretend play - one minute a princess wearing 4 layered dresses and the next minute she is being a superhero!

Taylor is also an amazing big sister. We are so lucky to have her, and Caley would agree.

 

 We love you Taylor, SO SO SOOOOO much!!!!!  Can't wait to see what this next year brings

Christmas Day

Christmas was perfect this year. We went to church at 4pm on Christmas Eve, came home and had a yummy dinner and then watching a little bit of Christmassy shows with the girls. Christmas morning we were up and opening presents right around 7am and then relaxing and playing at home for a few hours before heading over to the Kiss' for dinner. 

 

Caley decided that coloring on paper was too restrictive and colored on the wall (while we were all eating and not paying attention to her). Luckily she used yellow crayon & Chris had a magic eraser! UGH. Sorry about that!!!!!

 

Taylor didn't color on any walls... Thank you Taylor!

 There were actually a ton of pictures on my camera between this one and the family shots, but with all the up and down with the camera (and Caley who loves touching it) somehow a dial must have gotten turned because the next 18 pictures were a complete blur :( And it's a shame because some looked like they would have been cute!

We took a self timer family photo in the morning, but figured we should get one in our "dressed up" outfits for the day! :)

 

Hope that everyone had a VERY Merry Christmas!! We sure did! xoxoxo

NJ Birthday & Christmas festivities

Weekend before Christmas we went to NJ for an early Christmas and birthday (Melissa, my mom's Grandma Ann and Taylor's birthdays!!) celebration.

 Not sure i should admit this, since she is just two, but Caley is very ipad savvy...

 Caley is refusing to cooperate for a picture, so we decided if she was going to cry anyway might as well hang her upside down...

 

 Taylor finally got her "official" Frozen gown and shoes. She has been asking for it for months and could barely contain herself any longer...

 

Grandma Cristine decorated a "Frozen" birthday cake for Taylor

 

They also received their Christmas presents from Pop last weekend... Other info you might not know: Taylor is currently obsessed with "How to train your dragon"...

 

 A turtle for Caley :)

 

And a dragon for Taylor
