Christmas and Birthdays!!

Delaney and Vivian at their birthday party at Mcdonalds... eating happy meals!
Their friends Mallory and Chloe enjoying their goodie bags from Ronald Mcdonald!!

Delaney very excited about the party!


Our 3 girls... growing up way too fast!! It is hard to believe that Vivian and Delaney will be 3 years old tomorrow... they had such a good time at their party today... They played at Mcdonalds and had happy meals, cake and ice cream and got to open presents... they got lots of cothes, and coloring books, and some new movies!! They were super excited about it all! It was lots of fun to watch them play and just enjoy the day!!

December passed so quickly at our house, so here are a few pics from Christmas... Abby is slow to wake up... a sure sign of the teen age years that are creeping up on us! She was very excited to receive a new Nintendo DS-i, that she can play her games on, and take pictures with, as well as some clothes, and books and movies...

The twins got a new dollhouse, and dress up clothes for Christmas as well as a Princess tent that they love to hide inside! The dress up clothes have been a hit as well, and they are enjoying walking around the house with them on and their princess shoes as well!

This is their new ATV that Gramps and Grmmy gave them... It is too cute... will only go forward ,and will not turn to fast so they can't turn it over... Delaney calls it her motorcycle... hopefully it will get warm and stay warm long enough for them to get outside on them... they road can't be wet, so it has been a challenge to get them out to ride here lately! Vivian is above, with the Tinker Bell ATV,

This is Delaney with her princess ATV...
Well, the new year has started off with a bang... everyone is doing well at the Hawkins house... Abby made the A honor roll for the 2 nd nine weeks, and she was put on her school's safety patrol. This is an honor because the teacher's nominate students that are leaders both academically, and socially. We are very proud of Abby for being nominated and getting this position! She has a busy month ahead, as she is taking a test at Duke in a few weeks that is an 8th grade test... to see where she is academically. She also has her piano competition in Elon, and if she gets a superior this year, it wille be her third in a row, and she will receive a trophy. She also has the spring session at Duke in March, where she is taking a class about forensic science, she gets to collect and analyze evidence of a crime scene, and do a fingerprint analysis. SHe is excited about that as well! Hard to believe that she only has 18 more weeks of Elementary school... middle school is looming closer and closer... but I think she is excited about the prospects and what will be!! Her clogging team is doing well too, and hopefully going to compete this spring in SC... will be sure to video and take lots of pictures!!
The twins are talking more, and learning more each day! They still enjoy school, and love to color now! They are also doing well in their acrobatic class... they love Mrs. Micki!!
Rodney and I are doing well, just trying to keep up with all the girls, and make the most of the time we have with them! It just seems to get quicker each year!! WE hope you all have a blessed year, and I will try to be better with posting pictures and what is going on... Take care everyone!!
