Family Christmas #2

We had Christmas Eve lunch with the Holley's, Ms. Wanda's side of the family. This year we got together at the lake house. Of course we ate way too much and played a lovely game of Dirty Santa! (sarcasm..lol)

Dan sometimes take this game serious, especially if he is trying to win what he brought. It can get ugly and he has to have the right strategy to pull it off. And of course he did! YOU GO HONEY!

The kids all had a fun time opening their presents. The Elmo camera the girls got is soo funny, especially when you hear Elmo say" work it baby!" lol

Family Christmas #1

We did Christmas with Mom's side on the Thursday before Christmas. We were a little worried about Aubrey and how she would react seeing Uncle Wayne (aka Santa's twin) because the week before when she saw him she just pitched a fit and wouldn't go anywhere near him. She got just close enough to him to where if she needed to get back quick she could. Before the night was over, she would at least give him a "high five."

(for some odd reason MiMi(Aunt Nita) thought it would be fun to give the girls a lemon?!!?)

Maw Maw got the most joy out of just watching the girls open the gifts she gave them, and she did good on their gifts because she got them a few of their favorite things, a doll and a jacket. I don't know what it is, but the girls LOVE to wear a jacket, for no reason. We can be at home and if they spot one of their jackets in their closet, they pitch a fit to wear it!! Oh well, I guess it's the DIVA coming out in them?!?! lol I thought I got a picture of the girls and Maw Maw, but obviously I didn't :(

The girls also got another favorite item, a new rocking chair. And it has done it's job of rocking the girls and their minnie mouse dolls to sleep! Good Job Davis Family!!

Baking Cookies

One afternoon, I got brave and decided to let the girls use cookie cutters to make some Christmas cookies. They had a wonderful time and I had a good laugh. Of course I did have to stop them from eating the raw cookie dough and they attempted more than a couple of times trying to eat it! They didn't understand why I would let them cut out the cookie and then take it away from them, but once they were able to eat the finished product, hopefully they understood :)

Happy Birthday Danni Kate

Danni Kate turned "2" on December 12th. She had the cutest owl birthday party! It is soo funny to watch the girls and her interact with each other and play. They have a good time.

We hope you had a wonderful birthday sweet girl! We Love You!!

Santa has a pretty AWESOME Elf!!!

I guess one of Santa's elves thought the girls needed a riding toy, so this particular elf (Maw Maw) made a special delivery early!

That Elf sure knows how to bring a smile to the girls' faces! And I think the girls put a BIGGER smile on that Elf's face! :)

Visit with Santa

The Meltdown

After the meltdown

A year ago.....

Daddy and his little hunters

Sunday afternoon, after the girls woke up from their nap, Dan wanted to let them go with him to feed the deer. Of course I see this as a picture taking moment. We bundled the girls up and off we went. It took a little be longer than normal to get from the house to the barn in the backyard because the girls were easily distracted or either Dan has little patience?? Once the bucket was loaded up with corn, Dan had to find a way to make the girls follow him to the field where he throws it out. I think Dan's patience got the best of him because he ended up picking up both girls and the bucket and carrying them so it wouldn't take soo long! God love him :)

We got tickled at the girls because they would pick up one kernel at the time and throw it, once again patience played it's part and Dan just got the bucket and threw it all out at once! And all you could hear from the girls was "ooohhhh"
It was a proud Daddy/daughters moment for Dan. He really his a WONDERFUL father and Aubrey and Lainey LOVE their daddy, no matter how much patience he has! :)
