Kate and her makeup and Hannah lost her tooth

Okay, Kate got makeup for Christmas and she has been working really hard on putting it on. She was so excited when she opened it up because that was on of the things on her list to Santa. So far she has just put a little blush on and some lip stick but today she got a bit crazy.

And today was an awesome day for Hannah, she lost her second front tooth. That tooth has been hanging on for the last 3 weeks and we really thought it was going to go before Christmas. My money was on Christmas Eve so that Santa and the tooth fairy could come on the same night, we thought that would be silly. So now she has a toothless grin and she suddenly looks so big.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day photos

What a wonderful Christmas we had. The girls enjoyed everything about this holiday season. I loved watching them look at the tree and listing to them wonder what was in the gifts under the tree, the excitement and energy on Christmas morning could have run a small country. We opened the gifts over a 3 hour period, enjoying and playing with each thing as it was unwrapped. I took as many pictures as I could but some things got opened and played with before I could snap a shot. Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful things you sent. The girls loved each and everything and played with everything all day today. Here are some great shots from Christmas eve and then from this morning, enjoy.

Snow snow snow

I'm a little behind on getting pictures up from our wonderful snow adventure. The entire family had a blast sledding and playing in the 10+ inches of snow we got last Friday. Enjoy the pictures.

Hannah's school picture

We just got Hannah's school pictures back. My little Kindergartner looks so big, when did that happen???

Letters to Santa

The girls worked really really hard on their letters to Santa the other day. I scanned them in the computer before they mailed them off. I hated seeing the letters go because they where so cute and they put so much work into them, but they so badly wanted Santa to see them and who can stand in the way of Santa. So off the letters went. And little did the girls know that Santa has already filled their wishes. Its so much fun being Santa, I wonder how much long it will last. I think Hannah will be able to keep the wonder up long than Kate. Kate is very fact driven so it might be a bit harder for her. But this year its still all magical and wonderful and I'm going to keep it that way.

A month ago

Wow has it really been a month since my last post - almost. Since the start of school I don't have much to update. The days are long and the evenings go fast. Hannah is still loving school and is starting to read a few words, she is really proud of herself. Kate is also enjoying school everyday and can't wait to go to kindergarten next year just like her big sister. Both girls are looking forward to Christmas and have put together the list that they will take to Santa when we see him next week. I'll send pictures. Greg is still home and hasn't started his new job yet, hopefully he will soon. But it is still really nice to have him home and he has really enjoyed it.

Can't wait for Christmas.
