Lainey Makeover


Finally.... Christmas Pictures!!!

The best of Christmas 2009:




I just love that in the middle of this Lainey is sitting on Pepaw's back


PUPPIES!
Getting a good picture of these three together is not easy. At least Alyssa always cooperates!


Alyssa playing Star Wars with Ethan:

Twin cousins :)


Prepping for the Doran Family Photo:

Aren't we cute :)
Wow, Ryan really does give "crappy" gifts! ("Book of Crap")
The best Male Gift this year (given by Brett). I don't remember what it was, but you can't beat the wrapping job.

A Visit With Santa

Who is the girl on the left? She looks like Lainey. She sounds like Lainey. She even smells like Lainey. Could it be that she's smiling on Santa's lap?!?!? I think she finally figured out that Santa brings her presents for Christmas - so she decided to be nice. No more "scaring Santa" (this is what she said she was doing the last few years when she cried during the Santa visits). Alyssa did great as usual.

I think Lainey would've stayed on his lap forever. Here's the video - check out the wave at the end. Is she milking Santa for gifts or what!

VIDEO COMING SOON


Holiday Benefit Show

Both girls have been taking a dance class this year. They had a Holiday Benefit Show that they both danced in. Here they are in their costumes before the show:

Here's Alyssa on stage. I think we found her strength! She did a wonderful job, and looked gorgeous doing it!


Lainey danced to Frosty the Snowman. There were three girls. One girl just stood there and didn't dance at all. Another girl got halfway through before quitting. Lainey performed the entire routine - and did great! We're so proud of our Lainey girl - way to stay strong and hang in there!


Hopefully we'll upload the video soon!

Christmas Cookies

The girls helped with Christmas cookies once again this year. Time to start putting on the holiday weight!






Alyssa's 1st Grade Christmas Show

Alyssa had her First Grade Christmas Show on Friday. It was so cute, and she did a great job.


She has the microphone in this picture for her speaking part. We practice her line a million times, and she nailed it!

Her entranced audience:

Alyssa and her teacher Mrs. Purciful.
