A look at last year

Wow! It seems like I have just not had the time to get anything posted in the last several weeks. December is always so busy, but the time it takes to sit down to blog and download pictures has just not been in my "schedule" (for more on my schedule see my blog-well maybe check it next week).

So here is a look at last year in pictures

Happy New Year!

Started 2009 in Ga but didn't take long to get to sweet home Alabama

You know Easter pictures...

This speaks for itself

The paccy girls, but in 2009 Karoline gave up her paccy, well I cut it and she wouldn't have it, so it was a more of a forced depaccification.

Learned to feed the dogs- mainly Katy

and sort our colors

 

discovered our backyard and what lives in it

Found out that wasps bite

And what fun sparklers can be

 

Hanging out with Rachel

 A fun forth of July

Had a birthday

And then another

Katy was baptized

And started public school

Klaire began her climbing adventures, which have gotten her in lots of trouble and many bumps and bruises

 Carved some pumpkins

(which Karoline would not touch)

And enjoyed Papa's big backyard at Thanksgiving.

 

And had another birthday!

Part 2 to follow with more Christmas pictures

What a great year we in 2009. Looking forward to all the God has in store for us in 2010!

Klaire's Pigtails

Klaire does not like bows in her hair. So I tricked her today by putting her hair in pigtails, way in the back of her head.  Oh, and her shirt is wet from her attempts at brushing her teeth!

Mrs. Snowman was a good diverstion in my attempts at getting a good picture.

Oh and did I mention, this was her first time in pigtails. And for anyone who is interested they stayed in tack for close to 37 minutes, a new Klaire record for hair accessories.

 

Okay mom enough of this picture stuff! 

Karoline is 3

Wow, I just can't believe it! Can she really be three? Our sweet Karoline is a preschooler now. My my my how time truly flies. Here is a look back of the past three years of Karoline (she calls herself Kara- pronounced Kah-uh).

But first a bit about her at three.

Sweet. Yes, she is sweet. But... she can turn on a dime! Watch out!
Caring. She sees a need, whether it be a paccy, blanket, shoe, or drink and she takes care of the need. It amazes me that a 3 year old can anticipate others' needs. A great characteristic.
Tough. She can take on her 6 year old 60lb sister and her hair pulling, toy stealing baby sister. She is tough, and lets them know it on a daily basis.

What a blessing God has given us in Karoline. May she come to know and follow Christ Jesus at a very early age.

 

 

That was a wasp sting- right on her lip!

Sisterly love

Christmas here we come!

Cards are sent, tree is up, inflatable snowman outside! I think we are getting ready.

Here is a quick overveiw of the Christmas festivites in the Mullis' world.

Christmas parade last week. It was COLD! Our church had a float in the parade and the girls- Katy and Karoline that is- just loved riding on the float. Katy was a cow and Karoline a bit of a sheep in the nativitiy themed float.

Can you find Karoline?

They both had a great time. Kris took pictures and Klaire kept warm in the van.

We have also been working on our Jesse Tree, although it is a wreath. We have been making the ornaments this year. The Jesse Tree is a great way to keep the focus of each day in December on Christ and the leading up to his birth. It is a great Christmas tradition. I will get pictures up of it soon.

More to come, so keep checking back. Also visit my blog, Prelude to Home and see our Christmas decorations inside the house.

Happy Anniversary to Us!

9 years today!

God has blessed us so.
