Tis the Season...

Ho, ho, ho, Merry Christmas!

Every year we get the girls picture taken with Santa.

This year, we were in luck, no one was afraid of him!

The funny thing about the picture is that

when you tell Santa that you are going to use your

own camera and not the professional people that they

have working there, he won't look at the camera,

he looks away!

Well, he blends right in with my kids!

They weren't looking at the camera either!

(I think Kimber is the only one who actually did.)

Kimber's Christmas Program

Kimber had her school holiday program.

She did a great job.

Of course she's always in the front row,

so we were able to see her real good.

She is always so animated during the program,

but this year she held back a little,

I think it has something to do with age!

She really is our little performer though!

Kimber's 8th Birthday!

My baby turned 8! When did that happen???

Kimber got to have a princess party at our house. It was a lot of fun! She had 10 of her friends come over and we played Princess games, had Princess birthday cake, and a Princess pinata! They even dressed up as Princesses!

Here are my 3 little princesses!

Grandma made Kimber a Barbie Princess cake!

Alas, all the Princesses in the Valley!

After her party, Kimber got to get her ears pierced. She wasn't too nervous, just needed a hand to hold. Thankgoodness daddy was there to do it!
Kimber is such a joy to have as a daughter.
She is so bright, so talented and so loving!
We adore you little Princess! Love you lots!!!!

Happy Turkey Day...

Thanksgiving is a fun day for us.

This is one of my favorite holidays.

(Probably because I was born on Thanksgiving.)

I love spending time with family.

We started the day off celebrating Khloe's 3rd birthday!

The frost was so beautiful on all the trees and bushes.

It even started to snow a bit throughout the day, our first snowfall... YAY!!!
Craig was home so we spent the day with the girls.
It was fun spending the entire day together.

We went to Grandma & Grandpa Benefiel's
for our Thanksgiving Dinner. Yummy!!!

Cousins...
Ethan, Kelsey, Khloe and Kimber...

I am most grateful for my family!

Khloe is 3!

WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE???

I can't believe my baby is 3!

Khloe's birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year.

She is such a sweet little mama's girl! She is truly a happy little girl, especially when she's with her mommy. She adores her sisters and loves her daddy. She is a bundle of fun for all of us!

True Khloe fashion, sucking her thumb!

It's an inherited Bergmann trait...
Mommy made cupcakes and she was so excited when she blew out the candles
that we lit them a total of 3 times so she could keep blowing them out!

Khloe got a new baby from Grandma & Grandpa Washington.

She was so cute with it. She changed it's poopy diaper,

fed it, rocked it when it cried, and loves it tons!
We feel truly blessed to have our little Khloe.

She is a light in our family and a true miracle!

Love you lots Khloe!

Happy Birthday to me...

I had a great birthday with my girls!

Craig had to work ALL day, I mean ALL day! So the girls and I spent the day together.

I even had a little birthday cake that the girls helped me eat!
When Craig got home, he surprised me with a babysitter.
We went to dinner and a movie and had a great time!

You may ask, "How old is Tami?" Well, according to Kimber I am 28! How did she come to that figure? Well let me explain. She asked me how old I was turning and naturally I told her the truth, 29. She then proceeded to tell me I was wrong because we share the same number,
since she is turning 8 this next week, then that means I am turning 28.
She told me this with such surety and conviction, I couldn't correct her.
So I'll take it! I'm 28! LOL

Kelsey gets a haircut...

Kelsey has been wanting a haircut for quite a long time. She cries every time mommy gets the brush out to brush her hair, she hates it! We were trying to have her grow it out to 10 inches so she could donate it to "locks of love". It was at 8 inches and mom was scared that she would pull a "Kimber" and cut it herself, so we didn't want to wait for 2 more inches for fear that that would never come! We did find a place that will take 8 inches, so we were in luck!

This is how long Kelsey's hair WAS!
This is Daddy puttin' it in a ponytail and hacking away at it!

This is daddy trying to fix his hack job!
Mommy stepped in and was able to fix Kelsey's hair!
Here is Kelsey's newly shortened hair!
(This picture does not do her hair justice, it looks even cuter curled under...)
I did a pretty good job on fixing it, if I don't say so myself!
It doesn't hurt that Kelsey is just too cute anyway!
