Celebrate Good Times!

Yesterday, we had a fun day. It seemed like we were singing Happy Birthday to Kendell all day long. She would sing along with us too. We went to Old Town Temecula and shopped for at a few stores. What a fun little place to go and spend time at on a sunny afternoon. Our main purpose for the trip was to visit "Professor Pennypickle's Children's Museum". The children loved it! And it is very affordable--$4.50 per person.



Just one of the many fun things to do at the Museum!
At the end of the day we sang Happy Birthday one last time to Kendell with some cupcakes and candles to blow out. It was yummy stuff! Wish you all were here to celebrate with us.

A whole lot of smooching going on!

The cast of 2009 preforming in The Nativity-Luke 2. Featuring Kendell as Mary, Peter as Joseph, Gary as the Narrator, Addie as the Shepherd, Thys as the Sheep, Sydney the Angel, Meagan, Madison and Andrew as the Wise-men.
Mary and Joseph kiss'n it up! The two little cousins were having such a good time acting out the parts as Mary and Joseph. Loving and taking care of the little baby Jesus. They started kissing and wouldn't stop. They were very cute!

This is too cute! We hope that all our family and friends had a wonderful and joyful Christmas season. We wish you the very best to come in 2010. And we are sending you all of our luv'nes and kiss'nes your way. Love The Hallen Family

Say Cheese!

Picture Time! Say "cheese"...and this is what you get from Kendell.She is such a cutie pie. I just love the grin that she has. It kind of reminds me of some childhood photos that I have of myself and makes me laugh.
She is so cute! But the pigtails and bows didn't last long!

Flower fun!

Madison got a hold of the camera and took some really cute photos of Thys and Kendell. Our flower garden is small but I think she captured something!Kendell is just growing up so fast. She loves to be with Madison. She calls her Maaaaa. Sydney is NeeNee and she can say Thys very well.
Try not to focus too much on the weeds! It is too hot to weed my garden right now. Or maybe I am just too lazy to do it.

First Birthday!

Kendell is One years old! That first year always goes by the fastest. She is a cutie already walking at the age of 11 months. She says mama, dada, and dede. Waves for hello and good-bye. Hugs us tight and makes the kissing sound for a kiss. When we ask her where her nose is Kendell points to her nose but puts her finger up it instead. She makes us laugh. We love having her in our family.
