Christmas

Christmas Eve was at Papa's with Grandma Gloria and Aunt Shirley.

The umbrellas were the hit of the night!


We also played a mean game of CandyLand

Before bed on Christmas Eve

LOVE

Lily and Kate in their new outfits from Grandma Heckert. Aren't they cute?

We spent Chirstmas with Grandma MaraLu

who gave the girls Dora hats and gloves. Awesome!

The girls also loved a pink princess tent they received from "Mama" Eva.

It will go great in our basement with Uncle Reed and Aunt Jo's present.

So ends another Christmas for the Heckerts. What a wonderful holiday full of love and giving!

Church Christmas Party

Tonight was the ward's Christmas part. We had a great time eating, playing with our friends, and making Gingerbread Houses. Kate and Lily pulled together a little group of girls and played so cute the whole evening

Tackling Hailey

The girls all wanted to take a picture.

Daddy and Lily making their house.

The final product for drew

Kate worked so hard on hers.

What a talented girl!!!

The trouble with pull-ups

Yesterday after bath time Lily wanted to put her pull-up on by herself, and after a few grunts and groans of frustration, announced she had accomplished her goal. I was in the kitchen making cookies when she comes in to show me her feat-and this is what I saw.....

Thats right, she managed to stick both legs in one leg hole and pull it up around her like a belt. She looks like a summo wrestler! So silly!

Sunday Morning Torture!

As if anyone didn't know, I love dressing my kids up and taking pictures! This Sunday was no different as I made the girls and Drew endure the cool morning temps to take some Daddy daughter pictures.

I love my little family!

Thanksgiving!

Today was a wonderful thanksgiving!

First thing this morning we went to watch Daddy play flag football.
Trying to blow on a dandelion!

Go Drew!

Checking out the action!

Lily was trying to take a sample!

Watching "a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving."

"Yum!"

Kate was helping me look through the Black Friday ads.

Its Autumn Time Its Autumn Time, the Leaves are falling down

Saturday morning was spent raking leaves in our front yard. It was quite the workout!
This year the girls are finally getting the concept of playing in the leaves.
Needless to say, they helped prolong our efforts!!

Where's Lily?

Believe it or not, I am sitting straight up in this gigantic pile of leaves!

A very Fairy Halloween!!!!

We had another beautiful Halloween this year. I have decided that Evansville is the place to be in October, nice temperatures and beautiful fall colors.
Lily decided that Uncle Andrew needed to be decorated

Watching the Doggies next door.

Checking out the pumpkins!

Our ward had a Trunk or Treat on Tuesday.

It was great, lots of games, candy, and friends.

SCORE!

Savannah cheering on Lily at the bean bag toss.

Two smilers out of three isn't bad!

It was worth a try!

Without a doubt, the balloons were the best part of the Trunk or Treat!
