I'm finally getting caught up on our blog! I've been doing a lot of posting lately, so scroll through the older posts (at the bottom of the page) to see other recent posts. One of these days I will actually be caught up! :)

December with my parents


Monte Monte Caballo (a tradition that started when I was young). I can't believe my Dad still has the energy/strength for this. I'm not calling him old, I just don't think I would even have the strength or energy to do this as many times as he does over and over again. The kids don't ever let him stop!



Big kids hogging the little kid games

Christmas crafts @ preschool. Erin was really excited to be apart of our preschool's Christmas party!

Elaina doing crafts at preschool


Dancing at Chuck-E-Cheese. I think my parents got roped into a tradition that now they can't get out of! The girls seem to expect Chuck-E-Cheese every time they're in town!

Elaina is so curious about other parts of the world (go figure, she has that Ames gene in her!). How can she not be? She has family members in a million different locations!

The girls and my parents in their new Christmas dresses

Too cute!



Ok, my Mom really needs to stop being the photographer because she's in hardly any of the pictures! She did come back in January and I tried to be photographer so that she could be in more of the pictures. She really was here...she was just the one behind the camera!

So fun. I think your parents are so cool, and I know you do to of course. That was nice of you to be the photographer when she came back so she could be in more of them.

Monte Monte Caballo....I guess you broke me in, and trained me well. Great memories.
