Lexi received her Christmas gift from Brian' parents a few days early! They gave a Grand Walk-in Kitchen! She loves playing pretend Chef and cooking Mommy meals!
Well, as you can see from the pictures, it took us a while to get just one good picture of the kids for our Christmas card this year. We must have taken about 30 pictures, just hoping one would turn out good enough for the card. The kids were being a bit less than cooperative with us but we did manage to get a great photo of them.

Here we are with Brian's brother Elliot at the Packer vs. Raider game last Sunday. And no, you are not seeing things...Brian REALLY is wearing Raider apparel!
It was really cold and I was feeling a bit under the weather but we had a great time. The kids got to spend the day with Grandma S. at home while mom and dad froze!!
Every year, Whitewater has a Christmas Parade so we decided to take the kids this year. Jack is a bit too young to understand what was going on but Lexi had a great time! It was pretty cold outside that night but the parade doesn't last very long...for that exact reason!
My dad had a small float in the parade for his businesses. He mounted a Christmas tree to the back bed of his 4-wheeler. He then bought tons of presents which he handed out to all the kids watching the parade. If that doesn't get you into the "Giving Spirit", I don't know what will!! What a great guy!!
Just a few Thanksgiving photos from Three Lakes.
I find it amazing how much Jacks and Riley look alike once you get them next to each other. It is so obvious that they are related in some way or another.
Those strong Halyburton genes are taking over!!
This year Lexi's birthday happened to fall on the day before Thanksgiving so we celebrated it up north in Three Lakes with Brian's family. Lexi received some wonderful books from Uncle Dustin and Aunt Tricia. Grandma and Grandpa Halyburton gave Lexi her first piece of jewelry; a white gold necklace with a heart charm. She looks so grown up! She loved all her gifts and we had a wonderful time with the family!
My great friend and old college roommate, Toni, sent Lexi a birthday gift this week. It is a great book that shows all the colors of the rainbow. Lexi was "reading" the book to me this morning and showing me all the colors!
It is hard to believe how quickly time passes!! It did not seem that long ago that Lexi was just a wee-little baby and now she is 3 years old! Tomorrow, the 21st, is her birthday but we are leaving town this evening for the Thanksgiving Holiday and will not return until Saturday. I wanted to get a few pics of her posted before we left. These were just taken this morning. Lexi love books and we are starting to teach how to read. She has one book that is her favorite called, "Brown Bear Brown Bear; What Do You See?" She knows all the animals in that book and she loves it so much that she sleeps with the book almost every night!
I saw this on my sister-in-law's blog and thought it was great so I had to do it for our kids! Regardless of what all of you may think, this clearly states that both children look more like their Mama...and right they should!! :)
