Christmas Eve Pajamas

Imagine my surprise when Megan handed me a box to open on Christmas Eve. I got some jammies of my own! And they are very comfy!

Proof that I do fun things with my kids

During Christmas Vacation, I took the kids ice skating at the local rink. AND, I let them each bring a friend (Poor Adam. His friend didn't get the call in time. He had a blast anyway). I skated with them but we had to go home when the little girls started whining about the cold, and I got cocky skating backwards and doing turns. I fell and hit my head on the ice so hard that I passed out momentarily. Next time, I will just watch.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Sophie played vampire in the Christmas tree box.

This is what Sam did the entire time we decorated.

Sophie and Ainsley: The Bone Sisters

Sophie and her cousin Ainsley were born within 3 months of each other. Sometimes they are best of friends, and sometimes they are a little shy. This last Thanksgiving trip to Utah was a "best friends" time. And the "Bone Sisters"? They were exploring Grandma T.'s yard and found an animal bone. This was the subject of hours of story-telling and pretending, as well as their talent in the family talent show. Love it!
