Addie Bit Me!

Mike and I are out in the living room relaxing. Hallee starts screaming for me to come into the bedroom. Mike runs into the room and Hal is crying.
Hallee: Addie bit me.
Mike: Did you bite Hallee?
Addie: Yes.
Mike: Why?
Addie: Hal said she was going to beat me up. I bit her hard so she couldn't.
A this point Mike cannot stop laughing.
Mike: Hallee did you say you were going to beat your sister up?
Hallee: Yes. I was just joking.
Mike: She thought you were going to so both say your sorry.
I love being a parent.

Happy New Year!

This was the first time Mike and I have stayed home on New Years Eve. It was auch a nice and relaxing night. My parents stayed home with us. We ordered in Chinese and didn't leave our home. It was very cold that night and I don't think I would have wanted to anyway.
I was ready for our girls to go to bed so I told them it was midnight at 10:15. What a mean mom. They went out and made noise and did fireworks. I don't think they will ever know what time it really was. He, he, he.

Christmas Eve and Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas. It was so fun to watch the girls get so excited about Santa. Mike and I enjoyed watching the girls open presents.





We always have dinner with my family on Christmas Eve. After dinner we do the nativity. Hallee of course wanted to be Mary. Addie decided that she was the sister of Mary. Ha!

Christmas fun.

Christmas is such a fun time of year. Mikes family had a Christmas party the week before Christmas. Almost everyone was able to come. We had the party at This Is The Place Heritage Park. Father Christmas came to visit as well as some carolers. It was so fun to see everyone and get together.

Preschool Performance

Hallee had a performance at preschool this week. The kids had so many songs prepared. It was wonderful. We love the friends that Hal has made. Mrs. Gaylene, her teacher, is terrific! She loves to go and learn!

Final Dance Performance

Before the performance Add and I played aroung with the camera. Add took an okay pic of me. She got my whole face in. What a cutie.



Hallee had her final performance of the year. She did terrific. My dad went and bought her flowers. She was so excited to get them. Mike and I love to watch her. I cannot wipe the smile off my face when she performs. We really are lucky to have such wonderful girls.



After we had to run to the store. What perfect timing. Mr. and Mrs. Claus sat on a little bench at Peterson's waiting for us. He, he, he. It made for a wonderful picture.

Gingerbread Houses

We decorated gingerbread houses tonight. What a mess. Addie loved cutting with the knife. I know what great parents we are. Hallee ate so much frosting. We had a great time. AZ friends, you know who you are, please don't judge. We didn't spend hours on them, just minutes.
