Happy 1st Birthday McKenzie!!

I don't think she had a clue as to what was going on...

"Cheeeeeese.....!!"

Always a Lunt face...

Our neighbor Leah (and her two boys came to celebrate with us!)

"Let them eat cake!!"

"So... what is this again?"

McKenzie didn't really want to touch the cake and kept trying to hold up the plate to her mouth... Yum!

YUMMY!!!!

She was not happy that Daddy decided to put a hat on her... and she let him know it!

As you can see by the giant alligator tears :'(

I Can't Get Enough of These Girls

Giggles and Loves

Absolutely Adorable

Happy Girls

"Chubby Cheeks"

Hailee wanted to sit in the Butterfly Chair and after finishing the dishes, I found that McKenzie had climbed into the chair with Hailee and they were cuddling and laughing! It was absolutely adorable! I love how these two are able to play with one another and make each other laugh. What a special bond they share that I hope continues on for the rest of their life. For no one else will understand what crazy parents they have!

Thanksgiving Lunt Style

This year was one of the best Thanksgivings I've ever had! The Hansen family clan (Maggie, Chad, Patrick, Auretta, David and Jessie) all joined us at our home for Thanksgiving this year. As I was preparing for Thanksgiving dinner I felt like the novice that I was. I bought a 23 lbs turkey for 4 adults and 6 children. Talk about the biggest turkey I have ever seen. The night before, we put the turkey in a giant garbage bag and put it in the bathtub hoping that it would thaw out in time to go into the oven. Sucess!! The turkey came out great! It was touch and go there for awhile as 4 adults worked in the kitchen at the last minute to make sure that every thing got cooked. Boy did we have a feast!!

Harris was in charge of supervising... :)

Yummy Pre-Dinner snacks

Oooo... Hailee had fun picking out all the Red noodles.

She is such a cutie pie.

Isn't it beautiful???

I couldn't help but sneak pieces of Turkey while no one was looking.

They were such good eaters!!

Hailee just wanted the Roll and the Turkey :)

"Happy Thanksgiving!!"

McKenzie fell asleep as soon as we put her in her high chair. The smell of the turkey must have pushed her into a Turkey coma. :)

Hailee's 2nd Thanksgiving

I am so grateful that we were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with Maggie and her wonderful family. How lucky we are to be able to travel 5-6 hours and be with family. I have much to be grateful for and this Thanksgiving was a great way to express my thanks to my family. Love you all!

Happy Birthday Harris

Happy Birthday my Darling Husband. Granted, it was on Monday, November 14th, but better late than never! We celebrated Harris' birthday with a yummy Pot Roast, Chocolate cake that I bought all by my self ;) and fun birthday presents. Harris chose a SpongeBob SquarePants theme, so we went all out. Hats and everything! It was great fun, and the girls had a blast wearing their cone hats! As for presents, Harris almost had to wait until Christmas when I found him feeling the gift wrapped present and guessing RIGHT!! what it was. The stinker bug! But I figure, since it was his birthday he should get to open something. I got Harris the Boxed set of the Inheritance Cycle Books (Eragon, Eldest, etc) and Hailee and McKenzie got Daddy a new wallet because his cards kept falling out of his other one.

The Sweetest Video EVER

I found this video that I forgot to download when McKenzie and I flew to Virginia to see my Grandparents, parents and to see Harris at Basic. Well, I thought that this video was just too cute not to share and I'm sorry that it took me so long to put up! I just love watching Nana hold her Great-Grand-baby... only wish I could have taken Hailee to meet her Great-Grandparents too.

Baby Bouncin'

Last night the girls got really silly, and for some reason wanted to get into the crib to play. Two kids playing in a small contained area??? Okay!!! Well while I was in the living room soaking up some R&R and I kept hearing "thud thud thud thud" then laughing, then "thud thud thud thud" so I figured it had to be something funny so I grabbed the camera and got this cute little clippet. As you can see, I've gotten McKenzie to keep her clothes on, but Hailee has managed, once again, to get all of her clothes off.
