Christmas Eve at Home

Mommy and Daddy both had to work on Christmas Eve, so we let the girls open their pajamas before Mommy went to work at 11:00 a.m. They were very excited to be opening a present this early in the day and afterwards, obviously thought that they could open more. We did the 12 days of Christmas for our girls this year and they were able to open a book before bedtime everyday for 12 days before Christmas. We also let them open their last book before I went to work. When I got off at 5:30 p.m. Joe went in until closing which he was able to leave at about 7:30. Then off we went to spend time at Grandma and Grandpa's for the rest of Christmas Eve and Christmas. Santa is coming soon!!!

Santa Claus is in Town

This year we went to see Santa at the New Gate Mall. When Kyeigh Rae sat on his lap, he asked her what she wanted this year. She wouldn't answer, even though for the past few months she has been telling us she wants an I-pod. Well he turned to her and asked if she wanted a surprise. She said that is what she wanted. I then asked her, what have you been asking for lately? She then stated, "I want a surprise." So I guess at this age, she will probably be satisfied with anything, although I think she might be getting a toy I-pod from Santa. Just a hunch! :)

Bailyn on the other hand, wasn't too thrilled to sit on Santa's lap. She just wanted Daddy to pick her back up. Who knows what she'll get!!!

Aunt Kiley's Birthday

Aunt Kiley and Uncle Mitchell came over for cake and ice cream after Kiley's birthday dinner. We had chocolate cake and chocolate frosting and melted mint chocolate chip ice cream. We are so glad to have Aunt Kiley in our lives and hope she had the best birthday ever. As you can see Bailyn was her tag along and tried to help with the candles!

Christmas Decorating

For family home evening on Monday, we decorated our Christmas tree. Mommy cleaned and put up Christmas decorations that day, and then in the evening we enjoyed the holiday spirit together as a family. We are very excited for Christmas this year. We will be spending it at Grandma and Grandpa's and the girls are way excited about it. This will be our last Christmas here in the apartments as Joe and I have bought a house. We will be moving after Christmas, but are excited to enjoy the holidays before we leave!!!

Potty Training

Well I don't know if we are really potty training yet, but Bailyn loves to sit on the toilet and pretend like she is doing something, then she loves to wipe her little bum cheek. It is cute, and as long as she is not afraid of doing it, I think that she will catch on soon. One can hope anyways!!! If you notice...a little girl sure needs a LOT of toilet paper!

Hogle Zoo

While Mommy was at the hospital with Grandpa and Grandma, Daddy and the girls went to the zoo. It was a beautiful day in November and they really enjoyed it!

Barbie Birthday

After opening many presents, it was time for cake. Mommy made a Barbie cake to go with the theme for this year's birthday. There were Barbie plates, cups, napkins, and confetti to top it all off!

Kyleigh's Birthday

Kyleigh Rae had a lot of fun opening all of her many presents from family. Happy 4th Birthday sweetheart!
