Snow Angels

Today the girls and I packed up a lunch and took a trip up to Mt. Baldy to see if this last storm left any new snow. Since no new snow had fallen Emily's snow angel didn't come out quite as well as she had hoped. But we were able to make a snowman. The girls were really excited for the first ten minutes or so, then the realization of the need for it to be really cold and slippery set in. All in all they had a really fun time, good thing we remembered our carrots!

Our first snowman!

I love going on little adventures with the girls, the hard part is getting the three of us in one picture together.

Decorating the Tree

We have started a tradition of sorts. First we put up the Christmas lights, then we go get our tree and later that night we decorate it. With the girls getting older I feel like the tree decorating is a little less chaotic and a little more relaxed and low key. Gone are the days of babies trying to eat ornaments, climb the tree, and splash the tree water. Now, we listen to Bing Crosby, Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra sing the classics while enjoying our hot chocolate and telling the girls the history of each ornament. It couldn't be any better.

All finished!

Chief wants some too. Yes, there was a spill about two minutes later.

Christmas marshmellows are the best!

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

Elizabeth was lucky enough to get two birthday parties for her 2nd birthday. Above are pictures from the one that I did have a camera at, I know, I'm a horrible mother. Being born so close to Thanksgiving we were able to celebrate two holidays at once, I know what

I'm thankful for!
