My gosh, it seems life gets so crazy and time just flies by. We really wanted to try to keep up with our blog so much better than we have been, but we also don't want to miss anything happening in "real life" either. Our blog is important to us, but not as important as having family time.
Anyway, this post is going to be very picture heavy, just so we can catch up a bit and do a little "house-cleaning," if you will, on all the pictures we've been saving just to post on our blog.
We'll start with the last pictures of last year...Christmas, Christmas-Second-Time-'Round, and New Year's Eve. Then we'll move into this year...
First, the girls had a lot of fun in the snow...well, sort of. Tori didn't care too much for how cold it was.
 |
| Tori was a little unsure about the cold snow. |
 |
| Miko was trying to catch snowflakes on her tongue. Wrangler loves the snow! |
 |
| This pic says it all...Miko loves the outdoors, Tori not so much. |
 |
| This is when we knew it was time to head inside. |
Then, it was time to start getting into the Christmas spirit. PJ had the girls do a Christmas tree art project to get things started.
 |
| The girls love to paint. |
 |
| Miko really got into it. |
 |
| Our little artist. |
 |
| Tori wanted to eat the paint! |
 |
| But, she did get some where it needed to be as well. |
 |
| Our other little artist! |
 |
| Miko put some finishing touches on before we had to let it dry. |
 |
After it dried, they used Q-Tips to put colorful "ornaments/lights" on the tree..
Mommy glued everything together, and Miko was quite proud of herself. |
 |
| Miko's side of the dual-sided Christmas tree. |

| Tori's side. |
We took our family pictures for our holiday cards. It was a lot of work, but afterwards, we always feel it is sooo worth it!
First we took a few pictures to show the girls how fun this could be...
 |
| Daddy with his girls. |
 |
| Mommy with her girls. |
 |
Monkey-see-monkey-do!
We had the camera hooked up to the TV so we could see what the shots looked like. Tori saw Miko cover her face, so she followed along. Mommy just acted silly. |
Then, we brought in all the furkids to get the final shot.
