Christmas 2011

Events leading up to Christmas...

Kate and I had our best outing ever, which was a visit to see the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular starring the Rockettes. I had tears in my eyes seeing her excitement, best show ever!
We also had our first visit to see the Carolina Hurricanes Hockey game with Mimi and Grand Dad, and both girls loved it. Lyla loved all the lights, and Kate's favorite part was the cheer, "lets go Canes". Her Daddy was thrilled to see her actually paying attention to the game too!
Also included are pictures from my company children's Christmas party with the girls, a visit to see Santa where Kate not only told him she wanted a pink scooter and a fairy barbie doll, she told him Lyla wants new toys. A picture from Kate's Christmas dance party at dance class (it was a very cute little show!) and a visit to Roanoke with the grandparents as well. Lots of fun over the past month...and next is the day all of this excitement was all about!

Thanksgiving at the Beach

Our family had two Thanksgiving celebrations this year. One started with the girl's first Hockey game to celebrate Grand Dad's birthday, followed by Thanksgiving dinner with Mimi, GrandDad, Grannie, Papa Walter & Grandma Nanny. The next day after some early shopping and a day of work, we headed to Kure Beach to spend time with the Kendziora side of the family, and Kate's favorite cousins. :) Here are some of my favorite pictures of the kids.
