Dolezal

Here are some photos of our Dolezal get-togethers over the past month.

First family photo with newest member, Macy!

Macy in her baptismal gown and bonnet!


Keara with Granny & Grandpa's loveable Mater (one of Lulu's kittens). She can't get enough of Mater and he seems to like Keara just as much.

Sweet little Macy

Easton and Kian crusin' in the gator!


Ballet & Karate!

Keara started a ballet class. She loves it, of course what little girl wouldn't want to dress up and dance around with ribbons!!





Easton started a Karate class, The Lil' Dragons! He is very excited about it, learning different moves, stretching and even learning about 'stranger danger.'




So far they are both doing well and are, for the first time, experiencing a social situation without one another.

First Day of Preschool 2009

We are back at Preschool for the second and last year.
Easton dressed himself and came downstairs like this saying, "okay, ready to go, Mom!"






Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool

Thanksgiving Feast at Preschool

Our group was in charge of mixing together the corn casserole.

We had to take turns stirring!

We played games, and...

sang songs with beanbags :), and...

dressed up like Indians and Pilgrims and enjoyed our food.

Hanging Christmas Lights

Hanging Christmas Lights
Just one of the fun holiday traditions. Luckily, Allen somewhat enjoys it!

Lulu decided to help too and climbed the ladder to the roof.

Halloween

Keara- Princess Belle, Easton- Spiderman

Easton giving us 'web in the eyes'

Trick or treat! I think Easton probably rang that doorbell about three times!

We could have gone to 100 houses and Keara still would have said, go next house, more candy!

Easton was most excited about his suckers! He dug through one lady's bowl for about a minute straight saying, 'no, want something better' until he came upon a sucker!

Allen as Spiderman. Thank god they don't make that costume for adults!

Me, simply trying to live a dream! Although it is nice not to have an evil step-mother that tries to kill me or locks me in an attic!
