Madelyn's Surgery

Madelyn's teeth are finally fixed!!! Maddie's teeth (or should I say her 6 cavities) have been bothering her for months now and we couldn't get in to the Children's hospital until now. We have been up many nights with her crying that her teeth hurt. She had 3 cavities so deep she needed to get 3 crowns on her baby teeth. Maddie had her surgery on the Monday right after Christmas to do all this. She did super well, except she DID NOT like having the mask put over her face to be put to sleep. She defintely remembers that part of it! The whole thing only took about 4 1/2 hours (including her recovery time). We are very thankful they are fixed and we hope that her teeth feel better. The first thing she said to me when she was wheeled into recover was, "mom, now I can have pop and
M & M's- Yeah, I don't think that will be happening being she has 6 cavities and is only 3!

I can't believe Christmas has come and gone already! We had a wonderful Christmas spent with many family and friends. It was so nice to get together and see everyone. I can't believe how fast Christmas break goes!!
Here are some pictures from Christmas at Great Papa's house.

It's a Boy!!

We finally had our ultrasound last Friday and much to our surprise we are having a BOY! We are very excited! You can imagine Ryan's excitement in the room as the technician announced that it was pretty obvious that it was a boy. I think he is feeling at least a little less out numbered with this news. However, our little Maddie's reaction was a little different. As soon as the ultrasound technician said it was a boy, there was a cheer from Ryan and then you heard Maddie all of a sudden say "GROSS!" She wanted a girl, however, she is going to be so excited when she sees this little boy. With a household of girls stuff, now we have some shopping to do! :)

Bunk Beds!

We are in the process of redoing the girls room to get ready for the baby. The only thing Kaylie really asked for for Christmas was bunk beds. She told me she was going to ask Santa for them so we didn't have to spend our money. We had it delivered yesterday, so it was an early Christmas present for them, if we are going to call it that. They were very surprised when they got home from daycare/school to see them set up in there room. Maddie isn't so sure about them. She wouldn't really sleep in her "new" bed last night. She just cried and said "I want my old bed back". Might take some getting used to but I think it just another one of her excuses to not go to bed. Now we move on to painting the walls and getting the crib up. Three kids in one room, WOW, is it possible???? It's going to have to be since neither one of our girls want to move to the bedroom downstairs. It will all work out!

Christmas at Mark and Anne's

We had our first Christmas celebration on Sunday at Mark and Anne's house. It was fun to get together and celebrate. The girls always enjoy themselves over there. Here are a few pictures from the day:

Church Christmas program

Kaylie and Madelyn had their church Christmas program on Sunday. They both did a great job and were super excited about it. It was Maddie's first "performance" in front of people. She was a little leary about going up there but once she was up there she was excited to show off the songs she had learned.


Getting ready for the program


We didn't get any good shots of them up in front. Unfortunately we were pretty far back and it was so dark in there. This is really the only picture you can somewhat see them.
