Christmas Time 2010

Sitting in front of the fire enjoying a cup of hot cocoa.


Look at this sophisticated face.  :-)  Or is she a deer in headlights?


Our mantle, complete with Speedy in his hiding place for this partcular day (find him in the wreath).

Our lovely tree....

Girls all bundled up.  For what, who knows?  Guess we were heading outside.

Thanks Great Aunt Julie and Great Uncle Keith for these rockin' Barbie guitars.  They got to open these before Christmas and loved them!  Kaitlyn is rocking out in her Rosette fairy outfit.

Not the best photo of Kaitlyn, but she's having fun goofing around in her cowgirl hat and pink boots.

Here we have Nicole sporting the same pink boots but with a fleece jacket, complete with hood, over top of her fairy outfit.  And don't forget the lion mittens.  Cute!

Born to rock...

Our house all lit up at night.  Love the holidays.  So pretty!!!

Who Knows Where I Left Off?

It's been SOOOO LONG...I've been busy on facebook instead.  Whoops!  Anyway, I wanted to put a few photos up, so here goes.  Thanksgiving and Christmas from 2010.  Yes, I'd say I'm behind in my updates.  And as I look back, I already posted some of these daycare Thanksgiving photos.  Can't imagine that I actually posted anything remotely real time, but maybe I did.  I'm posting them again since I already uploaded them.  :-)


Mommy came to daycare for Thanksgiving lunch where the girls were dressed in their hand made Native American outfits.



And now on to Christmas:


We went to Mt. Bethel for our Santa photos this year.  It's SO awesome!  They actually give you a number so that you don't wait forever.  And while you do have to "wait" for your block of 10 numbers to be called, they give you tables to sit at and arts and crafts activities to entertain!!!!  Totally awesome.  So, the longest you wait in a LINE is for your block of 10.  Loved this.  Great experience and we will do it again this year.  And we got 2-3 Christmas ornaments per kid to add to our tree.  :-)  Home made ornaments are the BEST!!!



And there he is...the Santa that worked magic.  Prior to meeting Santa, Kaitlyn was still having potty training issues with #2.  Is that over sharing?  I don't think so...after all, you did come to my blog to read and it is about my girls.  Santa politely told Kaitlyn that the elves were watching her and reporting back and that he would really love to see her fully potty trained.  And of course she knew it must be true.  How else did Santa even know she was having potty training issues?  The elves of course.  (Our elf, Speedy, in particular.)  I think after this Santa visit, we maybe had 1 accident ever.  It was that simple.  Ah, the power of Santa!!!


 Not the best photo below.  Why did I include it?  Hmmmmm...


Then, continuing on with the Christmas festivities, we went to the East Cobb Park for the big Christmas tree lighting.  And then Santa comes and you can take more photos with him.  The only problem...the weather stunk.  It was actually raining, but we waited under umbrellas and got our photo.  We went with Blake and Mackenzie too.  As you can see, Blake wasn't really "in" to taking any more photos.  :-)


So, I suppose my next post should be Christmas morning.  Let's see if I can manage to keep that all in order.  And then, I'll at least finally be updating going forward in the correct year, 2011.  Ha!
