Thanks Santa!

Christmas Eve started with sledding at Solider Hollow. This is the way to go sledding. Just hop on the tube and get pulled up the hill. We had so much fun. The girls just screamed and laughed...I love seeing them so happy. meggie and daddy

christmas morning...mommy went to check and see if santa came

the girls got a house for the polly pockets and dress-up shoes. this house has been one of the best presents they have ever gotten....they will play all day with the house and most of the time no fighting.

hank got some chew toys (sounds like a dog)

the girls got these tutus...they looked so cute in them

my favorite 4 people in the world

i hope everyone had a wonderful christmas. we had a truly wonderful christmas. we hope the new year brings all of us a better year full of love, health and peace.

Nutcracker

Since I was a little girl my grandparents took all the grandchildren to see the nutcracker. Over the years the boys have dropped out and I have now started talking my own daughter. It is truly one of my favorite things of Christmas.

Cutest house on the block

This morning we decorated our gingerbread house. The girls had so much fun and did a really cute job. Megs would put one candy on the house and one in her mouth. She really liked the coconut for the fake snow

The finished project

Sweet Girl

This morning while the girls were eating breakfast I went to dress and feed Hank. I asked Kate to put away the silverware from the dishwasher. After I put Hanks down I saw that Kate had unloaded the dishwasher and put away the silverware. Thanks Kate!
Meggie wanted her picture taken too...these were the poses she came up with without falling from slippery jammies.

For My Birthday

Meggies new favorite phrase is " I got it for my birthday. This is what she says when she doesn't want to share what she is playing with or holding. Yesterday, Kate had her tonsils removed and the hospital gave her a Dora tent. Meggie didn't want Kate inside the tent so stated "Mom, I got it for my birthday" Needless to say Kate didn't have to get out.
