Shedd Aquarium

Sunday we went to Shedd Aquarium. This was something I've been wanting to do for quite sometime! Thanks Nana & Bampa for a fun weekend!!!! :)

The time finally arrived....The first weekend in December we met my side of the family in Chicago. My parents bought each of the girls an American Girl Doll for Christmas. Needless to say the girls were so EXCITED!!!! :)

Maddie chose Lani, the 2010 Girl of the Year

Emma chose a doll from their "look like me" collection.

Nicole was pouting b/c she never had an American Girl Doll :(

Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory...Yum Yum!!

Rob & Nicole

Phil bought a new winter hat on this trip...the girls LOVE it!! :)

Trimming the tree...

We all had fun decorating the tree the next night.

I love watching the girls meticulously place each ornament.

O' Christmas Tree..

The Sunday after Thanksgiving we visited out local tree farm to pick out this year's tree. For the past 3 years we've been going to Blakes Tree Farm. The owner of the farm use to work with Phil at Pfizer. It's always fun to purchase our tree from someone we know!

Maddie-cakes rockin' her owl hat!! :)

Ahh...The perfect Frasier Fur for Christmas 2010

This just struck me as funny... We always drag our tree, but Rob just picked it up and carried it to his car! :)

Holiday Parade

Last Saturday was an amazing day for a parade!!! Phil took all the Ladies out to enjoy the Holiday Parade downtown Kalamazoo. P. Sayers was out recruiting, and Kenny had to work. Fun was had by all!!! :)

(Scott & Stacey...this song is just for you. I'll get you to download M. Carey Christmas yet! :) )

The girls were very excited to see Buster Bronco at the Parade. Phil was thankful her was on a float and not anywhere near his hair! :) FYI...When we attend the WMU Basketball games, Buster likes to pick at Phil...Phil doesn't find the humor in it! :)

Crystal found it quite humorous that all the Kilian/Sayers girls recognized the "Target" Dog right away!!! :) Hey...what can we say? Who doesn't love Target??? :)
