Here comes Santa Claus

Every year Heather and I get super excited about having a girls day and seeing Santa! She picks out what she wants to wear and off we go :) And believe it or not you can get a fast pass to visit Santa :) 

Santa remembered Heather and her love of boots and even noticed she had some teeth missing. Heather tried to whistle :) She asked for a hug for her and for Great Grandpa to help him heal from his fracture hip.. I just love her huge heart! 

Great Grandpa is doing good and re-cooping well.. thankfully he's strong willed, he keeps walking and exercising every day! I hope Im that good at 99! 

 We had the Hannah side of the family Christmas over the weekend too which means we got some extra Marissa time.. Heather is just in love w/ her little cousin! 

Auntie Cheyanna :) 

It was also Gary and Cheryl's 30th anniversary :) 

These two cousins are great friends and always have fun! 

it helps they are both a little crazy :) 

Merry Christmas to all!!! 

Daises at the police station ..

Our little Daisies learned what it means to be courageous and strong and what better way to show and example than by visiting a local police station :) Thanks to Detective Hadan (aka Ellie's Dad) we got a personal tour of his station and it was awesome for all of us! 

They got to meet the shift commander and check out all of the cameras that cover the city 

they even have an indoor shooting range.. how cool is that! 

Detective Hadan showed them some bullets and the tire parts piled in the back that catch the bullets and clay discs 

the toothless besties :) They got to check out the cars and use the lights, loud speaker and a quick blast of the sirens 

Thanks Detective Hadan for making our tour even more amazing and teaching our little Daises how our courageous and strong police force keeps us safe. 

A Thankful Weekend

Every day there is something to be thankful for :) It was a beautiful weekend for Thanksgiving! We went to Kevin's Mom's house this year (we go every other year) and the kiddos had some fun playing in the front yard and as long as you were in the sun it was nice! 

the trees are perfect place for climbing, sitting and just looking really cute in :) 

Love this face! 

Heather and Daniel were playing hide n seek w/ Mordu the bear :) 

We found some snow over the weekend too.. it was cold! but lots of fun! 

it was a little impromptu adventure and we forgot gloves so not to many snowballs were thrown but it was exciting when it started to snow on us :) 

Found this really cool stump 

the scenery was gorgeous

found some great trails 

the sunset was amazing! 

the extra long weekend was wonderful! Someone lost a tooth on the Monday back to "normal" schedule :) the tooth fairy made a special visit and brought Heather a cute teddy bear charm to add to her tooth fairy charm bracelet .. she was sooooooo excited! :) Now she can sing "All I want for Christmas is my 4 front teeth" hahaha :)
