Tiny Tots Christmas Party

Last Saturday we had most of Emily's dance class over to our house. We had a Gingerbread themed party. We red Gingerbread Girl and played a game with that where they would pass the book every time they heard the word girl. We decorated Gingerbread cookies, played pin the nose on the snowman and decorated a foam frame with a cute picture in it. It was a crazy day, but it was lots of fun.

Sylvia, Haylee, Halle, Brinlee, Emi, Emily, Isabel, Abby, Ella and Bella.

We can't wait to see all of these girls dance together for the first time. It is going to be priceless.

Ali also had her friend Lauren over to the party as well. They helped me and Natalie out with pin the nose on the snowman.

After School Fun!

One day when it was freezing cold outside Ali decided that she needed to go in the backyard without permission and start playing in the snow. She went out there in paper thin leggings, and no hat. She stayed out there for 20 minutes until Emily decided to join her. Then of course Emily would not put on snow pants or a hat because Ali did not have them on.

Here is a picture of them pretending to get along for the camera. They are really starting to fight with each other a lot, wich is making me really angry and sad.

My crazy Emily seeing if her tongue was cold. As if she could feel it through those thick gloves.

O Christmas Tree!

How lame am I? These are the only pictures that I got of us decorating for Christmas. Anyway, the girls had a blast for the first hour and then they gave up and decided that coloring and creating masterpices with sparkly things that have fallen off of decorations was more fun.

Maybe next year they will enjoy it more and help me out a little.

Happy Turkey Day!

Em's shirt pretty much sums it up for us. We had a fabulous Thanksgiving with everyone.

The girls loved seeing Owen, Brooklyn and Jacob. We don't get to see them very much, so when we do it is quite a treat.

The whole gang. Owen, Brooklyn, Ali, Emily, Jadon and Miah.

The kids had a blast running around and riding bikes and cars in the gym. Thanks to Peggy for having such an awesome place to have Thanksgiving.

All the Girls. Shan, Sue, Barb, Becky, Peggy and Jaime.

Thanksgiving night Ali got to try out her new pajama shirt. She found it at Old Navy, and had to have it. She really wanted it for a real shirt, but I had to protest.

Sleeping Beauty!

A couple of weeks ago Becky was coming over with Miah and Jadon. Emily was so excited all morning, she fought taking a nap even though she was excited, she would not eat lunch and was just plain cranky. She finally decided to eat a PBJ and about two minutes into eating I look over and find this. Why is it that they will never take a nap when it is convenient, they wait and do it during the worst times ever. Needless to say, she was woken up when they got here and she was in a pretty good mood. For awhile anyway.

Winter Wonderland

Our first snow storm of the season was so exciting for the girls. Matt was even off that day so they were able to make a giant snow man with him. They had a blast out in the cold, and did not even care what the temperature was. I guess there is nothing that a little hot chocolate can't fix.

Matt also pulled them around on the sled in the neighborhood. They loved it of course.

Yeah! Hooray for snow. We can't wait for the next storm to play in and go sledding.

Primary Program

Ali participated in this years Primary Program at church. She did such a great job, and was not nervous a bit. She pracited and practiced to memorize her part. When it came down to the time for her to say her part she did excellent, she only needed to be reminded of one word.

We are so proud of her, she looks forward to next years program.

Ali and Emily all ready to go to church.

Em excited and feelin' fancy.

Of course, one last one of me and Emily taken by Ali. She is our little photographer these days.
