DISNEYLAND!!! Mom and Dad gave them a trip to Disneyland! We ALL LOVE Phineas and Ferb, and we like to have the kids match so we can find them, so we ALL got Perry shirts to announce the Disneyland Trip. (Talin already had a Perry shirt, so he got Cars)

Fun Christmas!!! Fun to be with family and watch the kids enjoy their presents!!! Thanks, SANTA!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Earrings!!!

Remember back to Laura's birthday post.........and her soccer post? Well, Laura turned 10 this year, and at our house, that means EARRINGS!!! She has been SO excited! Counting down for the last year and a half! But, if you play soccer, you can't wear earrings. So, she had to wait........ BUT, today was her last soccer game, and she was absolutely going to get them pierced TODAY!

First ear - not even a flinch!!! No tears, nothing!

Second Ear.....

She picked the rainbow daisy so it would go with everything....

Tah-dah!!!! She didn't stop smiling ALL NIGHT!!! And, she's been so great about cleaning them (once again, a great reason to wait until 10!). Happy Birthday, again, Laura! They're beautiful!

Soccer

Laura has wanted to play soccer for a few years now, so this year we finally did it! She signed up with her cousin, Autumn, and I think they had a great time! She ended up on her friend's team, too, with her friend's dad as the coach! That was just lucky! It was fun to watch her learn and play, and the games were even more fun to be able to cheer for 2!

This was her first game. This was the game we learned that Laura and Autumn look too much alike for their coach.....and for us to cheer! So, we bought ribbons and tried to do their hair different.

Autumn Laura

Grandpa Carroll came to their last game! They're so cute together......

Fun season! She wants to play again, but she wants the same coach. So, we'll see.....
