We were invited to Chucke Cheese by Jeff & Beth! Not our favorite location to spend a Saturday afternoon but as you can imagine the kids LOVE it!

We all had fun!

Destiny; McKenzie; Gabe; Braden; Kerstin & Sid!

WINTER FUN!!!

Today it snowed again but is a bit warmer! McKenzie set out to build a monster fort! Her wimpy sisters gave up and came inside but McKenzie kept working! (with a lot of help from Daisy!)

unfortunately, the fort isn't finished and she's coloring and watching a movie now!

Maybe we can finish it tomorrow....

Daddy is off on a snowmobile poker run and I'm sure in the height of his glory today! He's been dyeing to ride and so grouchy when he can't!

McKenzie did a great job at her BBall game today and only has one more game this season!

Our fun Sunday visit to BUILD A BEAR!
Thanks Uncle Ron for a great Christmas gift!
McKenzie made a basketball dog--Kerstin made a tie-died color bear and Sidney did Pooh!

More photos from Payton's visit!

It was so great to see them! We never have enough time! :(

We took time to have all the grandkids photographed for V-Day and it turned out spectacular!

April tried to give Payton a bath at our house and had tons of helpers!

SIDNEY JO!
Always doing something to make us smile!

I must say I' m pretty disappointed in what a "blizzard" actually is...Nothing more than a little snow and wind! It did get me out of work today so that was nice!

It also deters little Daisy from going outside to do her business!! She almost blows away!

Here is a photo of her and Sidney avoiding bed time! Sid was almost asleep and Daisy was trying hard too! It's hard to see sine I used my camera phone! I was trying to be quiet and sneaky!

Payton and April came for a visit! It's so great to see them!

Meet our newest family member--Daisy!
Since we lost Charlie we have been trying to find a dog that would be a good "fit" for our family!

We were looking for something small but yesterday we received a call from the Animal protective league about a couple of puppies. When we arrived at the home where they were kept it was more horrible! They had a total of 8 dogs and 3 were being kept outside (Daisy was one)! It's like 20 below in Ohio or something crazy like that! She needed a home and a family to love her!! She is a mutt w/ schnauzer and maybe some retriever or lab or shelitie (we don't really know)! She is very calm so far and the girls love her! My dad was with us and I'm so shocked he didn't take the other puppy! Although, I think mom would have killed him!

This week Sid had her first hair cut! She LOVED IT!


Kerstin and Daddy play at McKenzie's basketball game!

McKenzie was the first one announced and out on the floor today for the Lady Bears! She did a great job!

Sidney Jo!!!
Sid is so much fun and always in so much trouble right now! She is finally learning to use the potty! And is confident her daddy is taking her to Cinderella's house (the castle..way over there in FL) when she wears panties! She got a new C-rella dress yesterday and just loves it! By this point in our day she has lost her tights and is into Kerstin's boots!

Formal night and group shots from Cruise!

The girls really missed us! They were ready with a fun homecoming and welcome home sign in the kitchen!

Kerstin learned a FUN trick from Uncle Jason-how to follow her finger to her nose and cross her eyes--Thanks Jason!!! :)

Thanks Mom, Dad, Lindy, Roger, Judy, Jason and Callie for all your help while we were away! Oh..and Ron for babysitting for our goldfish! Who I actually forgot about until yesterday!

A very special visit from Germany--Nicki stopped by for a quick visit! This also allowed us to see Julie and baby Caleb! Thanks for stopping! The only thing better is if April could have been here too!

Day one! Girl Fun-

Scott and I just returned from an amazing adventure with some wonderful friends! We relaxed and had so much fun! 7 day cruise with Carnival and ports San Juan, St.Marteen and St.Thomas! We had awesome food, great days at sea, fun at Magen's bay, party boat adventure and shopping!
Scott won in the casino and I spend time at the spa! They also had the most amazing warm chocolate melting cake dessert! YUM! We are counting the day until our next trip!

Happy Holidays!

Blessings~The Davis Family

Happy Holidays!
This past week Kerstin had a pre-K Christmas program during the Sunday service at her pre-school! They sang two songs and she sang loud and proud!!

On Tuesday night Lincolnview Elementary hosted their Grades 1-3 Christmas program! This was double fun as our niece Marissa is in 1st grade! We enjoyed watching McKenzie and Marissa sing! McKenzie was a little apprehensive since she'd missed several practices when she was out for the chickenpox!

Next week-Miss McKenzie is reading during Christmas eve mass! This is a large service and the first time for her to read in front of the church!

They both have Holiday parties and exchanges at school this week and we are all looking forward to Christmas break!

Tree Trimming Fun!

Everyone is anxious for the big holiday! Our tree is up and we have seen Santa!

Our lists are ready! McKenzie and Kerstin claim to have been "good" girls! Sid bluntly told Santa she is only good "sometimes!"
