When it Rains, it Pours!

My sister Suzanne encouraged me to start the tradition of taking the kid's photos with Santa each year. Every Christmas I get the framed pictures out from years past and the kids love to see themselves and I love to see how much they have grown. We usually go to the mall, but this year took them ourselves at our local neighborhood party. My camera started acting up and as you can see it was close to a disaster, but I am sure these photos will be fun to look at as well. So far, Will has never cried and Abby has cried every year.




Our "Winter Storm" as they reported all of the warnings on TV. The kids are so used to being in hot weather, they lasted about 5 minutes outside. I enjoyed getting to see a little snow and I am hoping we get to see a lot more in UT next week!

Nana and Paw Paw Dixon came to visit for Thanksgiving. Nana decided to match Abby for the afternoon festivities.







OK, I am going to try to update this little blog a little more often. I get behind and then don't really feel like catching up. Now I will just post a few pictures that capture what we have been doing most recently. Above are a few of our most recent ventures.

This is how I found Abby after having "Quiet Time" with her big brother. She is usually the more feisty one, so I am guessing she was enjoying herself.



Buzz and an Alabama cheerleader!



Abby trying to sneak a little candy BEFORE trick or treating.


As you can see, she was only interested in the suckers.

Little Miss Sunshine

Matt often gets home late, so we went to check on Abby one night at like midnight and she popped right up, crazy hair and all.
Our tribute to MJ. RIP. Not sure what we are going to do with this hair as she grows older.

Abby was very sad that her brother got to go on a play date and she wasn't invited.




Feeding herself


With a fork and a spoon. She is a little more independent than Will. He would still love for me to feed him if I would.




Hill Cousins in UT!

This is how I found Will in the middle of the night

Sundance and Suzanne's Sandbox

She did it.

Then she kept putting her sandy hand in her mouth to
get the rest out.
