Cute Things

My girls have picked up a new habit all on their own and I secretly LOVE it.  I don't know where they came up with it, but whenever Jason and I kiss in front of them: They both say really loudly, "Somebody's in Love".  Man I love my girls.

Christmas Break

We got down to Myrtle last night and had dinner with mom and dad. The girls decorated a cake for mom. I think they ate more frosting than anything. But they had a blast and the trees look great.


Woke up to this gorgeous view in Bandon.


The girls opened gifts from us today and we are off to see the Christmas lights tonight.

Papa Pat's Birthday Dinner

We celebrated Papa Pat's birthday last night. This is a rare treat as his birthday is Christmas day. We had so much fun at Joe's Crab Shack.


Playing with leftovers.


Ouch!


Aunt Julie came down too. We celebrated Christmas that morning.


We even got Pat up helping sing Happy Birthday!

Dentist and Park

Went to the dentist last week and took some pictures because Maddie was cracking me up. She loved helping but didn't like being on the chair by herself.





Today was such a gorgeous day, we couldn't resist a trip to the park with the Elhardts. Addy liked Jason's candy canes so much she asked for a picture by them.


The girls have often shared the baby swing at parks when it was busy. Today it wasn't busy but they wanted to try it anyway. Sad thing is our girls are getting too big for the baby swing. Last time you will see these "big girls" in the swing together.

New Elf

I won this elf last week and he has been a lot of fun at our house. Every night he goes back to the north pole and tells Santa if the girls are being naughty or nice.


He also tells Santa what they want and then when he comes back he is hiding somewhere new. One day he was high above the doorbell.


Then he was hanging on the fan. Jason thought it would be funny to turn the fan on and let him go for a ride. You should have seen the girls panic and yell at Jason. They didn't want our elf to get hurt. When he flew off the girls were sure Jason was getting a lump of coal from Santa.


I am really enjoying seeing the girls light up and talk about our elf all day long. What a fun new tradition.

Bailey is 6

I still can't believe that we have a 6 year old.  Bailey is the sweetest 6 year old that I know.  She had a rough week right before her birthday.  She was sick and stayed home the first two days and then her cough was so bad she had to go home on Friday.  However, she was still so excited for her birthday that she was counting down the days and could hardly wait for her party.  She woke up at 5:00 and put her crown on from school and kept asking when her birthday started.

We have started a birthday tradition that the birthday kid gets a Stuffy's cinnamon roll.  It is almost as big as her.

Bailey wanted a new bike for her birthday.  She was so excited, the only requirement as that it had a kickstand.

Bailey chose a party at the pool. Here is our attempt at a Hawaiian swimming party in December

 Dinner at Applebee's so she could get her ribs for dinner.

 Quick ride on her new bike the next day.

Love this kid, she is growing up way too quick.  She is reading, loving kindergarten, making new friends, and is the best cuddler.

Christmas Tree

I will try this again. My computer is being weird, so we will see if the blog works this time.  Here is our beautiful home all decorated by Jason and Bailey.  If you ever want to get Jason a gift, Christmas lights is a good idea.  His eyes light up when I bring home more lights. I am truly thankful that he is so good at it.  I think they look amazing and I didn't even put one up.  I just do the fuses and replace the lightbulbs.

We were sick most of the week last week, but still decided to get our tree.  It was such a nice week that we couldn't resist.  The girls got to visit with Santa and told him things they hadn't discussed with us.  They wanted things like computers, Ipods, and snowboards.  I don't think Santa will be delivering on those wishes, but always dream big.

 At the petting zoo, Maddie got tired of the animals licking her hands, so this is what she looked like most of the time.  She had sticky hands from her candy cane, so the goats really liked her.

 We picked a winner....really quickly before we froze outside.

 We decided just to put the tree IN the car.
