We saw Santa!

So our neighborhood put on a big holiday festival this past Saturday. They had Santa and Mrs. Claus for pictures as well as reindeer rides (ponies), jumping castles, Arizona outdoor "ice skating," face painting, games, ornament painting, and all that good stuff. I'm a crappy mom and I had never taken my girls to see Santa so I made it a priority to get to this little festival. Ethan wasn't thrilled about the Santa thing (I'm not sure if he still believes or not...) but I made him go for a picture with the girls at least. Much to my surprise, Maddi was super excited to go see him, Bailey was concerned about the big man with the obviously fake beard, but still happy and ok with sitting on his lap, and Ethan even sat on his lap and told him what he wanted for Christmas! It was awesome!!
Merry Christmas

Christmas Sunday


Finger Painting

See why I hate when Stephen offers to get out the fingerpaints INSIDE?

Dandelion

Went down to the lake today to take my brothers' family pictures and I snagged this cute one of Maddi too!

Gingerbread Men

I made gingerbread cookies for the first time! They actually turned out really well....once I got the awful smell of molasses out of my nose. We had some friends over to help us decorate them and eat tons of candy. Yum!!

Make me a tent Mom!!!



So Bailey and Maddi are ALWAYS wanting me to make them tents with blankets on the couches, chairs, etc. I used to love doing this with my bunk beds when I was little and they loved it too!
