Lilly Loves her new blanket Santa brought here

New Hat and Gloves

The Jenkins family christmas was awesome this year. The kids got everything they asked for and we got to spend a ton of time with our family and friends. The month of December has flown by and I can't believe it is already time for the New Year. Here are some pictures from Christmas 2009. I am going to try and be better at the blog thing in 2010. Stay tuned for more coming in 2010. Be safe and Have a Happy New Years.

Lilly and the Tooth Fairy

Lilly has officailly brushed her teeth for the first time tonight. She did very well. She liked the toothpaste. She has her very own toothbrush and of course it is elmo. She loves the fact that her toothbrush sits in the holder like the big girls. I thought since she has officailly enough teeth to brush that I would get her very own "real" toothbrush. She was a hoot doing it. She let me do it correctly for about 2 seconds and then she had to do the brushing all herself. she did the spitting and rinsing all herself. Enjoy the pictures.

Our New Friend Frosty

WE have a new friend in for the holiday season. His name is Frosty. He is kind of like the pumpkin we had on our steps for Halloween, but according to Lillian he is nicer and friendlier. She actually sits by and kisses him. Enjoy the pictures.

A Spooktacular Night

Snow Princess, and a Madien

Our Halloween was a great night. Lilly wore her costume and she walked to about 25-30 house. When she would get to a house she would put her bucket down and walk away and as soon as the people filled the bucket with candy then she would go back and get the bucket. She was pretty funny when it came to trick or treating. Samantha went trick or treating with friends this year. It was a little hard for me to let her go off with friends by herself, but I did becasue she is in 6th grade you know. Anna, Shannon and Maddie came over to trick or treat with us and it was a blast. Danni and Maddie kind of went off by themselves, but not really we could see them 14 house ahead of us. I wasn't ready to let Danni go by herself just yet. Anyway the wheather was awesome and friends were awesome. All in all a great Halloween. Enjoy the pictures

A Camping Trip We Won't Forget

Trying to put up the tent themselves

I am so glad we have the Ds while camping

We took the girls on a very spontaneous camping trip. It was Lilly's first camping trip ever. I have to say she did very well. She help put up the tents, she help start the camp fire, and she help make messes. I think the girls enjoyed themselves for being a last minute idea. I know watching all the girls have fun was having fun myself. WE roasted marshmellows and we cooked hot dogs on an open fire. The air at night was extremely cold though. We froze our butts off. all in all we have a great time. It is something that I look forward to taking the girls on again. Enjoy a few pictures I took on our fabulous camping trip.

A two Year old on a cell Phone

Here is Lilly talking on the cell phone on the way home from Chicago. She insisted that everytime the phone rang she needed to talk and guess what everytime the phone rang she got to talk. She is such a silly girl.

Pumpkin Carving Night!!! Oh What a Night!!!

Lilly had to have a knife to carve her pumpkin

Let's just say Lilly loved carving pumpkins this year. She thought it was the coolest thing. She didn't like the inside as much as the other girls, but she did enjoy the final outcome. Once we were all done with hers we had to go out on the front porch and take a million pictures. Sam and Danni always have a blast carving the pumpkins. It is always fun to see what the older girls come up with. I can say this is a night that i look forward to all year. Enjoy the pictures.
