Buddies!

We have a pair of "buddies" - below are Leo (my sister's dog) and Reece, then K & K.


Out to dinner for Esther's birthday

Meet "bun-bun" and other pics

Here is Kendall's infamous "bun-bun" that she has had for over a year. It is her "lovey". Mommy wishes it wasn't white (and that we had a spare in case we ever lose this one).


Kaleb wearing my aunt Marcia's glasses from year ???

What a sweety!

Lazy winter mornings at the Chip household

Here are some cute pictures of a lazy morning this past winter.....

Long lost winter pictures

Not that I want the reminder of winter, but I just couldn't resist putting a few out here!

At the beginning of the winter, we were holding onto the sled string while they went down the hill. Towards the end of winter, we were just letting them go!!!!!

We had ALOT of snow!

Reece running her way through the snowbanks

Mmm mmm good!

They both love tomato soup! Check out the double spoon action!

Kaleb likes it!

Kendall likes it too!

Mall of America

A while back we took a trip to Minneapolis to visit our friends Ryan and Lindsay (who are expecting a baby in a few weeks). It was so nice to see them again! We took the kids to the Mall of America. No shopping...but we did go to Nickelodeon Universe for the kids to go on some rides, and went to visit the aquarium.

Classic Santa pictures!

Needless to say...they weren't too thrilled about sitting on Santa's lap this year!

Holidays are meant for family!

Opening presents at grandma's on Christmas morning!



Waiting for their Christmas dinner!

Playing with toys (new and borrowed)

On Christmas morning, we were at Shawn and Tom's house, but don't worry...Santa didn't forget about K & K. Kendall got a Cabbage Patch Kid doll and Kaleb got a Tonka Truck. Luckily their cousins are very good at sharing their toys, so the kids had PLENTY to play with!

Kendall pushing her new baby in Keiley's stroller.

We got Madison a guitar and Keiley a keyboard. It was so funny - they were rocking out. Madison kept singing "Hit me with your best shot, fire away!" American Idol (and/or Guitar Hero) here they come!

On Christmas morning, we all went over to Jamie's moms house to open more presents and visit. It was a great morning! We went over early to give the Tobin's some time to open their presents as a family. It was so nice to spend some time with Jamie's mom, David and Travis before the "maddness" began!

Looks like they will need a tricycle or bicycle for their birthdays!

Love the family!

Here are all of the grandkids and great grandkids on Christmas Eve in Detroit

Special Delivery!

After all of the presents around...the kids still managed to find a favorite! A box! Of course!

Fun times in Detroit

Kendall and Kaleb had a blast with their cousins in Detroit!
Madison is almost 4
Keiley is 2 1/2
Marlee is almost 1

It was hilarious to see them all in the tub together! This will be a great picture to show when they are older!

Great Grandma Dee - little Marlee was sleeping, but grandma Dee had fun with the older kids!

All dressed up!

Of course, I got the twins all dressed up on Christmas Eve. They were soooooo cute!

Looking for Santa!
