Fashion Hailey

Hailey asked me to take a photo of her showing off her pajamas by herself. She loved this photo and called it Fashion Hailey. So here she is with her dollar store accessories and $4.00 pajamas. We love you Fashion Hailey. Over all we had a great Christmas.

Pajamas

Of course you need the traditional pajamas. This year we actually took a photo of the kids in their pajamas. Max was so excited to get pajamas but he didn't know who was on them. It was so hilarious. He opened them up and with much excitement said, "It's, it's, it's..." and Mommy said, "Star Wars." Then he exclaimed, "It's STAR WARS!" He still doesn't know what star wars is but he likes his jammies. The girls like their Disney Princess pajamas.

Scooters

Of course we got Audrey, Hailey, and Kate something they couldn't even use for Christmas, scooters. Oh well in a few months they will get a lot of use out of them.

Kinder Bunnies

Chris and I and friends have got into the game KillerBunnies we have been playing a lot (mostly after the kids have gone to bed). But the times that we have played when they are awake, they want to play really bad. But it is just too hard for them to figure out, you have to read each card to play and they can't read. Chris found KinderBunnies which is the killer bunny game for kids. They have wanted to get it since Chris discovered it. We decided to get it for them for Christmas. Audrey especially likes to play it. Plus you can deal them in with the killer bunny game and it adds fun things to the game.

Dr. Ruth

Ruth's new name is Dr. Ruth. She has loved LeRoyne's and Grammy's medical kits. So when Chris and I saw this pink Dr. set we had to get it for her. Now she takes the little pink medical kit all around the house with her asking everyone if they can have a check up.

Firefighter Max!

Max had a firefighter Christmas. He calls himself "Fire Max." He loves his new fire truck and fire accessories. Kate who had his name in the exchange got him two little fire trucks and a little fire set.

Merry Christmas!

Well here we are on Christmas day. The kids are snuggled up in their new Pajamas and Christmas blankets from Grammy. They are watching a Christmas movie. I'm looking through the photos we took today, and I felt like posting. We had a wonderful day. It was great family time. Here is a photo of us before we opened our presents. Chris is looking as handsome as ever. I'm just out of the shower and the kids are ready for some gifts. We take a photo like this every year. It is crazy to see how the kids have really grown. We all can't fit on two steps anymore.

Princess Unicorn

Update: if you want one, Chris is selling them on Ebay.

Chris (and this is Chris writing, excuse the 3rd person) had two work parties with white elephant gift exchanges. We watched "The Office" and when he saw the "Princess Unicorn" he decided it would be awesome to make one of them for the gift exchange. First we needed screen captures from the tv:

Then he spent a couple hours putting together the box artwork in Illustrator. We weren't able to find a barbie, dress or wand that was a exact match (although we used to have THAT EXACT wand!!!) but we found a pretty good match. The horn was carved out of a white crayon. In all we did a pretty good job.


Only 3 couples came to the first exchange so we made a second one. Different dress and different wand but it turned out great too!

Big Girls.

How they have grown. Audrey and Hailey will be 7 this month, they are doing really well in school, reading books left and right. Kate is writing words with help all in CAPS. They are growing so fast.

Bows Bows Bows!

I've recently learned how to make these cute bows. I made 8 of the one with the light brown flower they are my favorite. So I had Chirs take photos of the girls with their new bows on. My dear friend Camille is going to show me how to make a different type, she showed me how to do these ones. So I'm sure I'll be posting photos of new bow creations soon. It feels really good to create something beautiful.

I can't believe they are 3!

Max and Ruth had their 3rd Birthday on Saturday. They will start primary in January. I can't believe it. They are were my little babies and now they are 3. Happy Birthday you two. :)
