New toy

Someone is happy to get to use his new toy!

First snow of the year!

The girls were really excited to get out in the snow! We had to go outside Friday night and let them check it out.

And Saturday morning, the first thing Avery said was "is it still snowing?" They begged us to let them play in it, so we got all bundled up! We built a snowman. Then, Avery wanted to build a snow castle. :)

Santa's BFFs

I took the girls to see Santa really early this year to avoid the crowds and waiting in line. Unfortunately, the day we went, they were having issues with the camera and Santa didn't start seeing people until about 45 minutes later than he was supposed to. So, the girls and I walked around the mall and played on the escalators. When we finally got to see Santa, Morgan was beyond excited. She screamed at the top of her lungs "SANTA SANTA SANTA" when she saw him walking towards us. All the other people in line just laughed.

When we got up to the front and had our turn with Santa, Morgan ran right up and gave him a high-five. Avery just stood back and checked him out for a little bit. Typical. Morgan told Santa she wanted a baby doll. Avery told Santa she wanted a big ladder. Um, what? I have no idea where that came from. Even Santa looked at me a little funny. I'm guessing she was the only kid asking for a big ladder for Christmas. Ha!

When we went to take the picture, Morgan hopped on Santa's lap. Avery said she would stand next to him. So, they gave her a little step stool to sit on the floor next to Santa. Ha! The picture was ok... no smiles, but at least they weren't crying.

At home before visiting Santa

Santa gave the girls chocolates

Silly faces!

Waiting patiently

Here it is... Santa Picture 2015!

More leaves

Matt raked up all the leaves in the backyard last weekend. The girls helped and then ran through them, kicked them, buried themselves in them... had a lot of fun!

Nap Time

I would love it if they took naps until they were 18, so I could get a nap in as well! :) But, some days nap time goes well... and others, it does not!



They look really tired, don't they!?!

After that, I tried separating them, but they didn't like that. So, they fell asleep watching Daniel Tiger in our bed. At this point, it's whatever works! I can take my nap in the guest bedroom.

Finally fell asleep

They woke up happy... is this a hug... or a headlock?

Six years!

These beautiful flowers have been making the whole first floor of the house smell like a garden for the past week! Love them! And love the guy that gave them to me!

Looking forward to our kid-free getaway in December (and some warm weather)!

Happy Anniversary Matt!
