toys, glasses, and curls.

today i took pics at the arboretum - you'll have to check those out on the GP blog later ;)

yesterday i got aidan in the 3D glasses again lol






and a pic of sawyer's curls ;)


so we made smoothies last night. and in the drawer at the island we have these funny bands we got at world market -- you put them around a beer or wine glass if youre having a party so everyone knows whose drink is whose. aidan picked up this one. right on. (covering her ears from the blender lol)


oh - and this is from 2 days ago. these are squinkies. fascinating how a 4 year old can adore these little balls of odd.

they're on a boat.

come on. you know the song.

well first sawyer was silly.


ok let me explain this. this was hanging in my closet. up high LOL she found it and thought it was the most beautiful dress she'd ever seen. in case i wasnt laughing hard enough - she took the underwear that match it (and were hanging from the hanger with it) and put it on her neck and said "wow, this is a nice necklace".

we.were.dying.


then they got in the laundry basket and said they were on a boat. lol


tired?


nope! gotta wrestle!

christmas fun.

ahhh so christmas morning, we got the girls dressed upstairs and then they raced down to see if santa had eaten the cookies. OF COURSE he did (i told you they were EJ's fave). then they saw their presents from santa :) santa brings the 2-3 things that you SPECIFICALLY asked for in this house LOL magical...





















then we went over to my parents to open gifts there :) and have DELICIOUS food! it was a very nice quiet lunch - i just love them!

phew!! the amazing stuff from my parents!!




sawyer playing with my dad lol




sawyer playing with JoJo, the hide and seek bunny!!! so fun!






yesterday, before we went to the mall (haha - it actually wasnt so busy!), aidan wanted me to put her new hair stuff in! they are so cute. lol




playing in the gameroom yesterday afternoon with new toys.

leading up to christmas.

so we got a package the yesterday from gpa mark and gma liz :) look at these cute outfits (reese got one, too - plus jackets that youll see in the next pics)









today we decided to give aidan and sawyer the train set we got them :) EJ built it during naptime...

aidan was hyped!








we made cookies for santa this evening ;) they *happened* to be EJ's fave!






thumbs up!


then i sent them all to take a bath -- after that, i took reese up to bed. but snapped a few pics in our new hat from renee ;)




then put reese in her xmas jammies.






aidan and sawyer had to go put the glitter'd reindeer food out front.


overexposed alert!!!


then we set up the cookies and milk by the fireplace :) see that "desk" area -- yeah, its time for those toys to go back up again, huh? we take them allllll to the gameroom and somehow some meander down again... sigh...
