New Years Prep

The girls and I had fun this morning preparing for New Years. We made party hats and broke out the noise makers. We are going to have a mini party as a family after we go to church tonight.

Potty Time

Snapdragon has become obsessed with her new potty. She wants to sit on it all the time. We think it is just to read! She did sprinkle in it a little today. We aren't pushing it, but she does love it. Buttercup is a great cheerleader!

A Blessed Christmas

A baby just like me!

The jump-o-lene!

I think my cookies are done.

That's a nice present Sam, but I am not getting out of here.

I love my i-pod!

Yes, we are still in here!

I am still here!

I think I'll take a nap.

We want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! It was such a wonderful day in our home. We all had a pajama day and just enjoyed being a family. The girls were very happy all day and enjoyed all of their gifts. Snapdragon's favorite gift was the Jump-o-lene which is currently in the middle of the living room floor with her bouncing in it. Outside of napping, she has spent most of the day in it. Buttercup's favorite gift was definately her i-pod. She is currently sitting on the couch listening to the music. Lou is cleaning up the dishes from the wonderful ham dinner that I prepared. What more can I ask! We are blessed to be together, happy and healthy enjoying this day in celebration of the birth of our Lord.

Children's Mass on Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve was such a blessing! We were reminiscing about how tired and out of it we were last Christmas because we had just arrived home from China with our precious Snapdragon. We had mounds of laundry and unpacking as well as preparing for Christmas Day and all of its trimmings. We really felt we were able to relax and enjoy the time with the girls this year. It was a fun and restful Christmas Eve.
