Holiday Memories from 2001! Megan is 5 months old in these pictures. They were taken on Christmas Eve at Aunt Marilyn's house. The only one I could find with Paige is the one of her and cousin Brittney and Megan. Paige was 3 so I think Brittney was 8 or 9 (the age Paige is this Christmas). We are trying to locate some more pictures. So enjoy these for now.

Holiday Memories from 2002!

This is the first Christmas we spent in our new home...as you can see the family room wall was still off white not chocolate brown like it is now. The house looks so bare...no pictures on the walls.

Paige was 4 years old and Megan was about 18 months old. We had these portraits taken at Paige's preschool. My cousin Sherrill sent Megan the little outfit with the matching hat. She said it reminded her of the outfits my mom put me in when I was a baby. She is right we always had the outfits with the silly hats. I hope Megan won't hold this adorable picture against me someday.

Rowdy is more brown than gray on his face, he looks like a young handsome pup.

This was also the year that Aunt Deb visited France. I can tell by the book that Paige has in the photo of her with her gifts from Aunt Deb. She still has the big heart pillow on her bed and the dog bank is full of pennies. The book on the Louvre has a pass in the back so if we ever go to France Paige can get into the Louvre for free. The little red coat and hat were gifts from Aunt Deb too. At first I thought she got them in France, but it turns out they came from KOHLS department store. We had a good laugh over that.

Hope you are all having fun with these old pictures...it is kinda fun to look back and see how big the girls have gotten. Makes you realize how fast time goes by...and makes you remember to try and slow down and enjoy the ride!

Holiday Memories from 2003!
Here are some more memories from Christmas past. Dad and Carole had come for Thanksgiving that year so we started our holiday season with a trip to the Columbus zoo to show dad and Carole the Wildlights Wonderland. Aunt Deb joined the fun also...we had dinner at La Vaqueros across the river then walked around the zoo and we all rode the carasol too.
Paige is 5 in these photos....the age Megan is this Christmas. Megan has been wearing that big blue down coat to school and the scarf and hat too. It is funny to see pictures of Paige wearing the clothes that Megan is in now. Makes you realize how fast they are growing.
This is the Christmas that Santa brought the pink and purple bean bags for the girls and the box of princess dress up clothes. Paige got a cool picture of Pluto that cousin Brandon painted in art class. It hangs above her dresser. We also must have had a white christmas. We still had the little red BMW back then. I miss that little 5 speed...it could get up and go and was fun to drive. Hope you all get a kick out of these pictures...it is fun to look back and it is fun sharing the memories with all of you! Enjoy!

Here are some more memories from Christmas past. I was talking with my dad last night and he said "it would be cool if you put some more pictures up from when the kids were little so that I can share them with Grandma". So these are from December of 2004

Here are some photos from last December.....this is an out take of the photo shoot I did with the girls in our family room. Enjoy! Check back in a few days and I will update with photos from this year. Just wanted to do a little flashback! It is blustery here and a dusting of snow on the ground. Rebel loved the snow this a.m. was trying to eat it....Rowdy not so much. He know's what snow means....frosty paws.
Baking cookies for Santa....hope Santa likes sprinkles.....lots and lots of srinkles!
Megan was the angel in her preschool Christmas play she is wearing a pillowcase dress over white tights and a turtleneck. I am saving the pillowcase....so she can say that "she fit into a pillowcase when she was 4". :) LOL
Paige and Megan December 2005 Paige was getting her big front teeth and we were growing Megan's bangs out. What a difference a year makes.

Last years Christmas tree ....after Santa visited!
