Christmas 2007!

We had a great Christmas and wanted to share a few pics with everyone from it. We spent the Sat. night before Christmas w/ Shell's extended family, enjoying pizza and goodies at our house. Then, on Christmas Eve, we took our annual trip to the Childrens' Museum during the day w/ some friends to visit with Santa and have a few trips down the giant slide! That night, we headed to Shell's parents' house for a celebration w/ her immediate family. Then, Christmas morning, we enjoyed just our own family's fun of opening presents and eating Christmas breakfast together before heading down to Louisville to celebrate the day w/ Jason's side of the family. We stayed at Nana & Papa's until last night, when we finally headed back home to unload the many many presents that the girls enjoyed digging thru most of today! We all received so many neat new things...Allie's favorites would be her giant doll house (hand built by Papa Don!) and her Barbie MP3 player, Lauren's favorites would be her new baby with own little blanket and baby stroller! Whew....so much fun packed into just a few short days! But we wouldn't trade all of the excitement (aka..."chaos"!) for anything!

Winter Fun!

We spent the weekend doing all kinds of winter fun activities. With the nice snow that we recently got, we were able to play out in it as well as come in when we got cold to make our annual Massey Gingerbread house. Allison is getting really good at making these now! Of course, all Lauren wanted to do was eat all of the candy going on it and then eat the actual house once it got put together! : ) The girls put together their wish list and letters to Santa -- Allison had to stop after toy #19! We are all getting ready for the holidays and hope you are all enjoying this special time of the year as well!

Massey Thanksgiving 2007!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We survived another wonderful time of hosting Shelly's family at Thanksgiving this year. A fun time was had by all w/ eating lots of turkey, pigging out on pumpkin pie and of course, appeasing Allie w/ everyone participating in her annual "craft"! This year, she (w/ Mommy's help!) made a "thankful tree" which every family member had to create a "blessing" leaf for to show what they were thankful for and then hang it on a branch of the tree. By the end of the day, her tree was full! Very nice! : ) Here's the family pic from our day.....notice that Lauren is her "typical" self in this one! Hope everyone enjoyed their family time together as much as we did!

Girls having fun!

Just a couple of pics to pass on from recently. Of course, the girls love to dress up and "model" for us so here's their latest fashion designs! Have a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween 2007!

Here are a few pics from our Halloween this year. We had alot of fun trick-or-treating and then taking part in our Harvest Party at church. Allie was dressed up like one of the characters in High School Musical (Sharpay..the singer!) and Lauren was playing the part of Dora the Explorer! Of course, the girls were exhausted this morning, not only from their late night out but from the sugar high that they were coming down from after all of their yummy goodies last night! Lauren woke up asking for her pumpkin full of candy and Allie asked how long a year would take to get here so she could do it all over again! : ) Hope everyone enjoyed a fun night w/ their families!

Pumpkin Carving Night at the Massey House!

We carved up our pumpkins tonight and who would have guessed that having all girls in the family would have required that we have plastic gloves on our hands to dig out the guts inside! : ) But the girls had fun and ended up with one kitty pumpkin and one puppy pumpkin! Allie will be having her school harvest party on Wed. with Mommy heading up the festivities there (we'll see how 15 2nd graders do with our planned leaf weaving craft!) and then we will be heading to our church on Halloween night for our annual Harvest Bash there after a quick round of trick-or-treating to the relatives who live close by! Hope everyone enjoys lots of treats!

Our annual trip to the pumpkin patch....

This picture was taken after a full day of marching thru the pumpkin patch a few hundred times just to find the perfect pumpkin, experiencing a few tantrums involving a melting caramel apple and of course, running back and forth chasing kids galore...(and that's just what Jason and I did that day! haha)

Happy Fall! Hope everyone is enjoying the change in seasons!

We are expecting!

Yes, we are expecting Massey baby #3 to arrive either Jan. 31st or Feb. 1st! Everyone is very excited. Daddy thinks this one is bound to be a boy but I'm thinking we are so full of "pink" around this house, why not have another little diva join us?!!!! : ) We will be sure and keep you posted when this little one arrives!

New pics of the girls!

Here is the latest picture of the girls......both had to have their fingernails and toenails freshly painted for the pictures....I have no idea where they get that! : )

Allie's 1st day of school!

Allie started 2nd grade this year at Waverly Elementary and was very excited to begin a new school year.......complete, of course, with all new "High School Musical" accessories!

Lauren's 3rd birthday!

We had a great time at Grandma & Grandpa's lake house celebrating Lauren's 3rd birthday this summer! Of course, all of the family was invited and she enjoyed opening all of her presents, swimming and eating her cake!
