Chow time!

The food...
Soldiers stuffing their faces and falling asleep...
Ashley eating her food! Overall everyone seemed to enjoy their meals, it was fun to cook a holiday meal again!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

A WHITE CHRISTMAS!! YAY I know its not as white as some of you had but still! Everyone was pretty excited cause everyone at my house was from California and South Carolina, so it was a treat for us, though I realized wearing short sleeved shirts and flip flops for christmas is a lot more comfortable!

Warm clothes for the cold people...

Craig and I both got hats and gloves for Christmas Eve. Mine cause I freeze in WA (from the Goddards!) and Craig to go to Michigan to see Tara and Kevin!

Rice Crispie treats....

Gotta love when kids get their ladders out and get into the treats on the counter! That piece hadnt been cut up so it could cover her whole face!

Uncle Jake

Conor got me a diningroom set with the side serving table and barstools, so Ashley and Jake decided the barstool boxes were great for hiding in! She sure has a lot of fun with him!

Waiting ever so impatiently.....

Ashley and Daisy sat and stared at the window for over an hour waiting for Conor to bring Nana and Grumpy! Her first words when she woke up that morning was "Wheres Nana and Grumpy?" Wish they came everyday, cause she sat in the window and waited quietly!

What insanity looks like...

Heres what it looks like when you sit on your kid and tickle them...

Back to the old "Attack Daddy while he is relaxing on the couch game" Ashley sure loves to wrestle with her Dad even if he is not in the mood! HAHA

Another Crazy 2year old day!

Ashley sure has been getting more and more rembunctious and verbal lately! I cant keep her still for more then 4 minutes! Shes been like this since Conor came home last Friday! I guess she missed her Daddy!

Tea Party

Ashley loves having Tea Parties, but usually its just with Mommy or her dolls. But one of Conors soldiers, PFC Conner, got dragged into one with Ashley. She gave him juice and a snack and they sang songs. Very cute!

Play-Doh

Ashley loves Play-Doh! And most days she tells me she made something and it looks like a lump of clay! Well the other day she tells me she made an elephant and insisted I come look, and much to my suprise...It was an elephant!

Ashley sure loves to climb on Conor!

Ashley has realized that Daddies make great jungle gyms!! He comes home exhausted from his 15-18 hour day and just wants to relax but Ashley won't leave him alone! So eventually he gives in as all Dads do!

We got a blog!!

Finally decided to start a blog and go along with the rest of the family! Hopefully we will update it regularly!
