Christmas Time

For Christmas we decided to stay at my dad's house. My sister and her family are currently living there too, so we were all together to celebrate. On Christmas Eve the girls made Christmas cookies and picked out their favorites to leave for Santa. They had a good time making them and a good time eating them too. Christmas morning went buy in a flash. The kids had a great time opening up their presents and playing with their new toys. We ate a big breakfast and enjoyed the morning. That afternoon we went over to my brothers house for Christmas dinner and had a great time with the rest of the family.

Dad and Billy looking at their new toys. They both got new cameras for themselves.
What a sweet little present. Zackery wasn't exactly sure what was going on, but he wanted to make sure he was part of all the action.

Abigails School Program and Party

On December 13th Abigail had her Christmas program and party at school. They sang some songs on stage and then they went back to their classrooms for the party. Her class had lots of food and we got to visit with her friends and some of the other parents.

She loves her class and her teachers.

Parents Day at Ballet

On December 11th we had the opportunity to go into Abigails ballet class and watch her. She was so excited to have mommy and daddy come into the room with her and watch her dance. They did a little dance to the Nutcracker and they were all so cute. She has had such a good time doing ballet and can't wait till she has class. She loves to dance.
When they first walk into the class they all line up at the door and then walk in together
They all get into a circle so they can do their stretches before dance
While they were doing their dances the girls were being distracted by the parents being in the room and not listening to the teacher. Soooooo, Ms Dorenda ( the teacher ) had them turn and face the other way so they could pay attention a little bit better. Abigail in the one on the far left and her cousin Kayley is on the far right.
Abigail being silly. She had the silly bug that day. She loves to have an audience!!!!

THANKSGIVING

For Thanksgiving this year we went toGrand Rapids, Ohio to be with Billy's family. One of Billy's brothers and his family were there. We all had a great time just relaxing and being together. Abigail really enjoyed playing with her cousins Chloe and Ethan. It's always a good time when the Ledbetter's get together.
The kids and Gramps looked for pinecones to decorate with glitter.

We had a visit with Billys grandmother. Here are Grandmother, mom and two of her boys.
Four generations. What a blessing to be able to share our children with their great grandmother. Little Ethan wanted to make sure he sat on her lap. What a sweet boy!!!

ZACKERY'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

Zackery had his first birthday on November 7th. We celebrated on Nov. 11th with family and a few friends. Our good friend Kerri Hildreth made the really cute cake. It was perfect. Zackery was very curious about the icing that he got on his fingers. He had no problem smearing it all over his face. He was too cute.

Zackery didn't know what to think while everyone was singing "Happy Birthday".
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE ZACK!!!!!
