Tay AAU Basketball

Tay is playing AAU basketball again this year.  Their first tournament was on Friday.  They went 1-2... it wasn't pretty but she sure loves to play ball.

Christmas Day 2012

 The girls Christmas morning!  Notice they already did their stockings and Tierney got her fake glasses from Santa.

 The present Tierney made us.

We spent Christmas day at home... just the five of us.  It was a wonderful first Christmas for Miss Harper.  The girls took turns opening Harper's presents for her.  The best was the present Tierney gave her... a little radio that makes noise.  Harper giggled every time we'd press the buttons.  At breakfast Tierney said "this is the best Christmas ever"  when we asked why she said "because Harper's here".  I think that was the best part of my day!

Christmas Eve 2012

 Tierney and Hailey outside in the snow.  If you look real close they have the cat on the sled pulling it.

We spent Christmas Eve day and evening at my parents' house.  The little girls played outside in the morning.  We went to candle light service in the evening and spent the day snacking!

Holiday Season

I love the holidays.  I love how excited the girls get about Christmas!

 We bought a gingerbread house for the girls to put together.  Well needless to say it was a little bit of a struggle.  Tay ended up breaking out the hot glue gun to glue the house together since the frosting wasn't holding it!

 Tierney's school
Christmas Program.

 Tierney in the snow where she wrote "Happy Holidays".  The girls loves snow!

Tierney's class signing at the bank.

Note:  Tay did not have a school Christmas program because she isn't in key notes:(

Big Sister Tierney

It has taken Tierney some time to adjust to being a big sister.  She really wasn't sure about being in "the middle" and having a younger sister but she really enjoys it now.  She is a great help.  She will get Harper her pacifier, talk to her, or pat her tummy if she needs some attention.  About two weeks ago Tierney said "I really like Harper".  Got to love it since she's here to stay!
