Our trip to Mississippi

Tracy, Tom's sister graduated from college with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  We took our first family trip to watch her graduate - and visit family of course!  In all my travels I had never been to MS so I was also looking forward to the trip and in seeing some sights.  It was a short trip, one I wish we could have extended but

Random pictures. 

We took Kassandra on a walk.  It was a bit cold out so we had Kassandra wrapped up.  I loved the area and wanted to go back for more another photo shoot - little did I know that we would run out of time.

I really don't have words for this....

Graduation....We are proud of you Tracy!

We went and saw Santa.  No photo's allowed so I put on my long distance lens, had Tom stand in front of me and put the lens on his shoulder.  Now if only all the kids sat on Santa's right lap instead of left :D

Afterward the kids went on a train ride.

Allie decided to have her own cage...I mean carriage

What's a trip without eating at McDonalds (which Kassandra loved) and a photo with Ronald.

Kassandra's 1st big girl bath

Kassandra is now taking a big girl bath!  She is no longer in her baby seat.  She loved it!  The ability to splash and kick with nothing slowing her down was a whole new freedom to her.

Santa pictures

Our mommies group had Santa come and take pictures with all the kids.  I was the photographer for the whole thing so I missed out on hanging out with the family.  However we had a great time!  Here are some pics of Kassandra - and the first time she has seen Santa.

Kassandra's Christmas stocking

Many, many, many years ago my mom made our family's stockings.  I wanted to carry down this tradition and make Kassandra's.  Since I had never done this before I was trying to figure out how to do this when a friend in my mommies group suggested a class at the sewing shop down the street from us.  So the 4 of us signed up and went.  What a great time!  We learned a lot but if I ever had to make another on my own I may be in trouble.
