Tierney's 2011 Christmas Concert

This is Tay and her friends during Tierney's Christmas program.

Tierney with her friends Evan and Peyton.

I had to post this one of Tierney's hair thing coming out... her face kills me.

Tierney's dress arrived by our Fedex man ten minutes before we left! We really owe him! I did have a back-up but her heart was set on wearing this dress!

Tierney's birthday party

Tierney had a skating party the first weekend of December with her friends and my side of the family to celebrate her birthday. She had to have skating and it had to be a peace party. Her, Hailey, and Ethin were all doing quite well skating by the end of the party!

"Birthday Surprise"

The week of Thanksgiving (and the week of Tierney's 7th birthday) we went to Florida for Tierney's birthday surprise. At first we were going to drive but about six weeks before we decided to fly so that was even more exciting for Tierney. Both girls had never flown before. The girls and I also took a taxi the first night so that was another first for them. Above they are on the plane. Our trip to the airport was a little scary as it was snowing like crazy and before we could fly out they had to de-ice our plane. We had a lot of fun and uncle Nate and Hailey came along as another surprise! The first day we spent at least six hours at the pool. The following day we spent at Sea World. On Tierney's 7th birthday we went to Disney and the following day we went to Cocoa beach. The last day we spent at the pool and the world's largest McDonald's. It was so nice for all of us to get away and have a break from our crazy schedules. It was some much needed family time!

All three girls were all over the smoothies!

It was so neat to be at the parks during the holidays with all the decorations!

Tierney's 7th Birthday/Birthday Surprise

We planned for close to a year to go to Florida over Thanksgiving this year. We decided we should surprise Tierney for her 7th birthday. We figured if she knew ahead of time that she would drive us crazy talking about it. So the night before we were going to leave we gave her a present with clues as to where we were going. We went to Disney on her 7th birthday. What a great way to spend your 7th birthday. Tay was pumped to see Mickey and Minnie.

Below are pictures from our day at Cocoa Beach. The girls loved the waves and the sand was so soft!

We spent Thanksgiving Day at the pool and the World's largest McDonald's. Tierney and Hailey loved that... the rest of us were missing Papa's Thanksgiving Dinner.
