Kieren Meets The UD Cheerleaders!




This past Saturday, Kieren was able to meet the University of Dayton's cheerleaders! We went to JennaClaire for a "Make-n-Take" event. Kieren made a scarf for Cullen for Christmas. The UD Cheerleaders were there to help make the scarves. Kieren wore her Jr. Lion's Cheer uniform from her cheer squad at school (a story for another time). It was lots of fun!!!

FCC Christmas Party 2010

Liz and I took Danielle and Kieren to our local FCC Christmas Party. We all had a fun time doing crafts, visiting, eating great food, and talking to Santa! Afterward, Danielle came back to our house to play and spend the evening. Kieren and Danielle had a great time drinking their "special" hot chocolate and watching movies in their jammies.

Santa Parade 2010


Kieren and Cullen walking in the VERY cold Santa Parade!

Kieren walked with Miami Valley Dance Center. This is her third year in the parade.

I think they were totally frozen by this point!
It's much warmer to sit on Dad's shoulders!
