Happy Birthday Syd! Sydnee turned the big 4 years old today. Sydnee is the sweetest girl! She has the most tender heart. She loves everyone. She has her dad wrapped around her finger. I can't even begin to tell you how great of a big sister she is. She is always giving Lily loves and helping her. She still melts my heart everyday. I can't even begin to express how much I love this girl!!! She is such a great girl!!! I am so proud of you Syd and LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
Syd has been growing her hair out to be like a princess. It was getting so long, but then we started to take swimming lessons and the chlorine just ate up her hair. It got so frizzy and I couldn't comb through it without pulling out a clump of hair. So we had to cut some of it off. Here are our before pictures.
This is afterward. She looked so cute. The girl who cut here hair was having so much fun with Syd she decided to put curls in it too. Of course now she thinks mom needs to do this everyday.
This picture has nothing to do with getting haircuts. I just thought, who doesn't love a picture of a chubby baby in her swim suit? GOSH, I LOVE THESE GIRLS!!!!
I wish I had taken a better picture, but once again my lumber jack husband cut down our Christmas tree. Yes it took 2 guys to carry it out. I don't know where he thought it was going to fit in our house. Oh well, it is one of the best parts of Christmas.
We also had a little monkey always hiding under the tree!!! I could just eat her up.
Santa came to my work and Syd was so excited. She couldn't get enough of him. It was hard for her to let anyone else have a turn with Santa.
We also traveled down to Salt Lake to see the lights at Temple Square. It was so cold, but so beautiful. It is one of my holiday favorites.
This is my all time favorite photo from Christmas. Syd only has boy cousins her age. She got the best Christmas present from her cousins. It was a treasure chest full of Princess dresses. She absolutely loved it and so did her cousins. Trust me, I will be keeping this picture around to use when these boys are teenagers.
We had the most amazing girl take our family photos. These are just a few of may favorites. I had so many to choose from. I think she did an amazing job. You can check her website out here. http://photographybysuzannehieb.blogspot.com/
Who said a laundry basket isn't fun. This is my girl's favorite thing to play in. Poor Lily still gets her cheeks squeezed everyday. I love these girls! 
Here are a few of our Halloween pictures. We are a little slow. Every year my family comes down to our house to carve pumpkins. Here is Jer and Lily cleaning out their pumpkin.
Syd said she was cleaning out pumpkin boogers. I was so happy she was at least getting her hands dirty this year.
Sydnee goes to preschool at ISU. The let the kids dress up and go trick-or-treating the halls.
Here is my baby kitty. She is so cute, but don't be deceived...she has quite the little growl.
