L's 3rd BiRtHdAy!

L. could NOT wait for me to get off work so we could celebrate her princess birthday. My mom was cooking dinner and L was so excited so she started pulling out the plastic plates and forks (the plastic plates, cups ect. were they only things she could reach.) and started setting the table by herself. She wanted to get the party started! But the poor girl had to wait a few more hours for me to get home...I love her!

K's 4th BiRtHdAy!

This was my favorite picture...Cousin J and K eating the icing off the toys

Since we moved to this town, all K wanted was a tractor party! Oh boy, did he get one!

My Aunt J was very smart and brought L a little gift as well...L LOVES to dress up!

K. had a BLAST at his birthday party...he got what he wanted and couldn't have been happier.

Best place on Earth...

MY BACK YARD.

Christmas Morning!

This Christmas was so MAGICAL! The kids LOVED it! L. was so sick with the flu, but she was a trooper. The kids got EVERYTHING they wanted and more! K. asked Santa for a truck, a train, a helicopter and a tractor. L. asked for a Barbie and a Yo-Yo.

***sNoW FuN!***

K. And L. LOVE to eat snow!

K.'s first snowman he built by himself!

L.'s first snowman that she made by herself! She named it BABY snowman.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Christmas Eve...

Our Christmas Eve tradition of opening our PJ's.

K. was a HOOT Christmas Eve. He was on the couch telling everyone that they ALL made the naughty list and that he was the only one on the good list. And it is NOT the "North Pole" it is the "NEXT Pole"! We were all dying of laughter! He had so much energy, he was running around the house singing Christmas songs. I had to send his Uncle B in his room to make sure he was asleep and Uncle B. came out laughing saying "Good Luck! That boy is not going to bed, he told me he was waiting for Santa's sleigh."

L. was SO sick, she had the flu. She was out like a light! I felt so bad for her! She was a trooper!

Special Visit from SANTA!

The kids had a VERY SPECIAL visit from Santa! The doorbell rang one night and I just happened to ask K. to go look out the window to see who it was. When he walked into the entry he could see Santa's clothes through the glass, He yelled out "It's SANTA!" They were both so shocked that Santa came to check on them to make sure they were both being good kids. It made their week! It was so magical to them! THANK YOU SANTA!

Gingerbread House

K. trying to read the "map" to find out what to do next (notice, it is upside down).
L...well....She did what she does best... eat!

They were so happy they finished with what candy was left! (I did not help decorate, they did it all on their own...it was so cute!)

First Singing Performance

The kids are in a singing group and on Dec. 1st they had their first performance. It was a HOOT! I have TWO extremes. L. is a little "show" girl, she was not shy, in fact after she sang her solo she thought it was a good idea to run around the stage. Then the younger girls started to follow her! You can kinda see the story of pictures below. I was so embarrassed! Her teacher had to keep rounding her up and putting her back in line. K. on the other hand, had major stage fright! He did not even sing, he had his finger in his mouth the whole time. When his teacher came to him with the mic he ran off stage! WOW it was an eventful night!

I could not get one picture of both of them where one of their eyes were not closed.
Singing her solo.

Still standing in line.

Starting to play a little, but still in line.

Trying to get her teachers attention!

Realizing her teacher is busy.

There she goes!

After running around the stage, she thought this would be a good time to take a breathier.

K. was looking for his teacher. He did not want to be left alone!

When we got into the car after it was all done. K said "Mom I was scared because it was 'Dark and dusty' up there". Hmmm...I wonder where it got "Dark and dusty" from? Oh wait...Toy Story 3!
