Christmas Day 2011
Merry Christmas to all! We hope you and your families had a wonderful holiday season.
We had a great Christmas. This year the girls truly got in the spirit of the holidays. From watching the Elf each day to counting down the days when Santa would show. The night before a cookie was set out for him. The girls woke the next day to crumbs and a note that said their toys were down stairs. After waiting for what seemed a life time for Mommy and Daddy to get out of bed...they ran down stairs to see a tent (or as Kendall says he made it here last night) and a pile of toys.
The day was spent at home playing with new toys and making memories of these precious years.

Where is Jingles??? (12.21.2011)
Kendall and Sydney have not been very good girls this week. They have been talking back, not going to bed then extremely crabby at daycare all week. So this morning when they woke they did not see Jingles (Elf on the Shelf) any where. Chad informed them that maybe he was so sad that both Kendall and Sydney have not been very good and decided to not come back.
When we got home later that day, a letter was in the mail to Kendall and Sydney...

Dobbelaere Christmas (12.18.2011)
Thanks everyone for a fabulous day! From a visit from Santa to the dice game.
Lots of laughs and lots of smiles.
Merry Christmas!!!
4 Years Old!!!
4 years ago today, we welcomed two very precious girls into our life. A bit early, as Kendall decided to join the world 7 weeks early...but you'd never know the difference today.
Each day our girls amaze us with the things they say and do. They always make us smile and know how to cheer us up. They are our shining lights that keep on burning.
Happy Birthday Kendall and Sydney...Happy #4!!!
The girls have had a weekend birthday that has been full of fun and excitement. It all started on Friday with dinner at the Rainforest Cafe to celebrate not only their but also Grandma Shelley's birthday.
Then it was off to Build a Bear...a special birthday gift from Grandma Shelley. Kendall picked a white bunny with pink flowers and proudly named her Flower. Sydney picked a brown bunny with pink ears and named her Sunshine. After giving their animals a heart full of love from them, they then got to choose outfits to complete the process.
The adventures continued Friday night when 3 of the girls cousins arrived at our house for the weekend. Elliott, Avery and Cecelia brought yet another birthday gift for the weekend. Then on to Saturday the BIG birthday party. And of course the presents...what good is a party without birthday presents?!?!?
Then it was on to treat time. Where the kids had the opportunity to decorate their own cupcake...frosting, sprinkles and why not M&M's. And if I do say so myself...the buttercream frosting made by Mommy and Elliott was delish!!!
As the day turned into night, the kids also began to slow down. You can definitely tell we are in a new age of fun. As all the kids gathered on the couch to play...yup an electronic device. We had Ipods, LeapPads (girl's birthday gifts from Mommy and Daddy), Kindle Fires and IPads...
Splish Splash...let's have some fun in the tub. And the final act of the birthday weekend...a bath to wash the cupcake mess away, with the best people in the world...our cousins!
Fun At Bentleyville In Duluth (12.3.2011)
We spent a great weekend in Duluth with the Krattenmakers and Lees. The Krattenmakers were wonderful host. We ventured out and visited Bentleyville on the Bayfront Festival Park where we saw lights, lights and more lights. With over 3 million lights, it was spectacular.
Thanks for a wonderful weekend!!!
Fun at the Dells (11.2011)
Last weekend was spent at Wisconsin Dells with some GREAT friends (Schickedanz, Williamson and Cole families). We had a wonderful time at the Wilderness where there was much swimming to be had. We learned our girls have NO fear of water, slides or waves that are larger than life.
We had a ton of fun. Thanks Lisa for a great weekend!
