Lost Teeth 2/17/07

Ava lost her first tooth a couple weeks ago and Alyssa lost her first one on Friday. Here are their toothy grins :D

Manassas St. Patricks Day Parade 2/17/07

We thought maybe the parade would get snowed out, but no such luck! It was FREEZING! And by freezing I mean it was 31 degrees with a wind chill that made it feel 19. After an hour, it was not much fun at all.

Amanda before the parade started.

Ava with her backpack she brought to collect candy in :)

Huddling to stay warm.

Here's Audrey and her Girl Scouts marching. Audrey is in the middle of the picture waving.

Yes, that's her with the glasses.

Here's one I haven't seen in the other parades: This is the Turkey Hill Ice Cream Cow. The cow was really big--- Amanda thought the pink swirly cow was funny. They passed out cups of ice cream.

Lots of Irish dancing.

Christmas Day at Nikki's 12/25/06

Yes, we have a lot of visiting to do at Christmas! We spent Christmas Day
at Aunt NikNik's house (minus Audrey who was visiting
her father) with Mamma and PapPap.

Jeff is too cool for Christmas.

Ava, Devin, Kaylee and Amanda.

Christmas Morning 12/25/06

Before presents were opened.

Amanda got lots of My Little Ponies from Santa.

Audrey got a Nintendo DS.

Even Angel got into the Christmas spirit.

Jeff was VERY good to me this year (Coach bag and jewelry armoire).
