Maddi's "new" hair

So as most girls do, we don't like something about our bodies. For Madelyn and Bailee they wish their hair was straight.
So when I was straitening my hair one day Maddi asked what I was doing and I told her, she was so excited she wanted me to do it to her hair. She loved it! She looks like a different kid! She is so cute! We love you Maddi no matter what kind of hair you have.


Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas. Madelyn asked Santa for a Baby Alive doll that goes potty. Yes it poops and pees. Kind of gross. But she loves it.
Samuel got a big boy, big wheel, lucky guy now he doesn't have to ride the pink and purple Barbie big wheel anymore.

Bailee got a ton of Webkins, which is what she asked for from Santa. She spent most of the day playing on Webkins.com.

The Stockings were so full that Santa had to put them on the couch so they wouldn't fall off.

All of the kids wanted footie pj's. Little did I know that they wanted them just so they can slide down the stairs faster. Lesson learned! HA HA! We had a really fun Christmas, we hope everyone else did too.

Snowy Fun!

It started snowing and was super fun!
I needed to get Christmas card pictures done, so we went out in the freezing cold.

These were perfect so we were done in 7 min. And then had hot chocolate in the warm house.
The next couple of days it snowed off and on, and then......more snow than anyone has seen in a long time.
We lost power for over 24 hours. And it got so cold in our house we snuggled together at night just to stay warm!

It was an adventure I really don't want to repeat. But makes a pretty great story.

It took Conan 2 hours to dig us out. We had to take my parents to the airport since they were visiting. They came from India and were used to 90 degree weather and came to our Winter Scary Land. Needless to say they were happy to get out of here and go to California.

Sometimes Daddy's ideas aren't the best....like jumping in 2 feet of snow in your jammies to do a snow angel. Hmmm, always good times.








Good times!

We made gingerbread houses and had such a good time.
Even Samuel joined in the fun. He really just liked to eat the candy, what 2 year old doesn't?

Madelyn made her's but, the candy didn't stay on long.

Conan made his too. It was so much fun.

Bailee's candy stayed on for a very long time. She designed it herself. She did a great job!


A couple of weeks later we went to see Santa Clause and the kids loved it especially Samuel. Maddi did make a note for Santa asking for a paticular present. She's a girl who knows what she wants.

We had a great Thanksgiving. I always make a big dinner and it's always just Conan and I who eat it. The kids ate olives, corn and rolls. They were missing out because everything tasted really good.

We still had a great dinner.
