We love this holiday, the excitement of the girls makes us feel young again every year.

Peggy's birthday party, Ryan builds a fence and of course a Christmas tree.

Back in Kansas for the begining of the holiday season.

Can you believe Kaylie is 6 years old?? I know we can't. This year we had a pizza party in the park. It was perfect!

We had two princesses this year and for the first time Reese got it!! She kept saying "1 more house dada" and actually out lasted Kaylie Baylie

It's the Texas State Fair, need we say more?

Michelle caught a classic moment when Reese decided she wanted to play in the rain.

A few random pictures from October and November 2008

Michelle got a new lens for her camera so she had to take some class B&W photos.

September 2008 saw good and bad times for the family. We participated in our 2nd Dallas Heart Walk, but also suffered the loss of Michelle's dad Mike Garrison

Cole's birthday and some fun at the water park were just a few things that occupied our time in AUgust.

What do you get when you turn 28? According to Ryan you get a few books, some candles and a lot of wine!

Note: Bounce house in August in Texas = bad idea!! Too hot, although the kids don't seem to mind.

Reese starts gymnastics, our neighbor's daughter Molly enters the world and other fun stuff happens!
