Happy New Year!

After a busy December, Keith and I had planned to go out on NYE with some of our good friends to the local comedy club. What a fun time!! Being we are out-of-towners now, we got a hotel room and brought the girls swimming that afternoon, then Taytum had a NYE slumber party at her friend Olivia's house and Jersey had a NYE slumber party with Grandma and Grandpa Vogel! (Thank goodness they were both in bed before midnight though - well, Jersey was for sure, but Taytum cut it close:))

Good laughs, good drinks and a great way to ring in the new year! Happy New Year!

















Christmas Time with the Vogels

Christmas was so exciting this year. The girls had fun picking out gifts for each other, some very, very special gifts. And also some for mom & dad. We visited Santa at Rhealt Farm and had breakfast with him, traveled to Linton to visit all of the Weisser's (and stayed there a couple extra days), attended Christmas Eve service with the Vogel side. But most importantly, spent some quality family time together: sledding, playing our new Wii, painting, swimming, dancing, and laughing.

































Ok, so we hated Santa's clown...

Taytum's First Dance Performance - Dec 7

Taytum was excited and nervous for her first dance performance. She did so good out there and we were so proud of her!! Her group danced to "Rockin Robin" and "Santa Baby". It was adorable. Grandma and Grandpa Weisser, Bryce, and Grandma Vogel all came to watch her.

Jersey's Birthday - Nov 23

We celebrated Jersey's 2nd Birthday at the Doublewood Inn with swimming, pizza and fun. Some family and friends joined us. What a nice place to have a pool party - the water was as warm as bath water! Still today, Jersey sings "Happy Birthday to you" ALL the time!
