Some girlie fun + Chris

This is from our last snow storm, Chris hooked up the sled's to my 4-wheeler and took the kids around the yard, 3hrs later they came in when they were done, frozen snow packed kids but had a blast.

Christmas day!!

The kids this year had a blast, well they always do, but Kylie has asked for a Nintendo ds for 2yrs now and we have never given in, we did this year and also got one for Emily, they have loved them, totally worth every Pennie.
the kids love to draw and paint, hopefully this will hold them off for a while.
Kylie wants to be a fashion designer when she grows up, this should help get her started.
I had got these dresses of EBay, they love to dress up barbies, but besides all the clothes, p.j's 250 piece crayons, the fashion designer stuff, earrings and little pet shops, the DS's where the hit, we had a great day, Chris got the camping chair and wii games he asked for and I got to change my bathroom design it was a great day.

The life of a 5yr old.................

I have to tell you about Emily, She has this baby, (in the yellow) that goes everywhere with us, she sleeps with it every night, she treats it as a real baby, she puts it to bed at night the baby has her favorite blankets too, we had gone to my parents for Thanksgiving and we lost it, come to find out Kylie and Alecia had hidden it, but forgot when we were searching for it, but needless to say we went home empty handed, Emily was fine with it, until bed time and she yelled for her to get in bed with her, and then it all came out she cried and cried and on and on, my parents had taken a picture of the baby when they moved the bed and found it shoved behind something. My parents had tucked it in bed for Emily and made sure no one touched it, but she got it back this last weekend, I didn't tell Emily we got it until I could meet with Mary to get it, so I told Emily that morning that after we got ready we have a baby for her, she ran to her room and got the baby's pacifier and said "mom I got her pacifier, because when she See's me she is going to cry so hard, because she missed me so much" she has not put the baby down. What I sweetie I have

Do you have the Christmas spirit

This year I had a goal to be 100% done Christmas shopping by December 1st, so I could sit back and enjoy the Christmas season, so I started month's ago, and I am pretty much done by Dec. 1st, beside a few things, I am probably 95% done, but I don't have the Christmas spirit, no excitement, no thrill, and it seems to be fast approaching us, I was thinking that maybe as it got closer I would be excited but I'm not, I was thinking today maybe I needed to update my blog and list some things that I enjoy doing during the holiday season to get me in the mood.
1. I love it to be snowy on Christmas day
2. I like to make white or chocolate pretzels
3. I like to make new dinner or appetizers on Christmas eve.
4. I like the feel of a 75 degree house after being outside (not much about Christmas but the warmth )
5. I like how my kids think Santa is real, and elf's are real ( ask me later)
6. I like giving neighbor's gifts
7. I like all the different food that everyone makes and brings to work to share
8. I like going to Christmas party's
9. I love Christmas music, and they seem not to play it much this year.
10. I love a Christmas tree
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!! and remembers the true meaning of Christmas
