One more year of Lowe's Christmas tree shopping. . .next year we'll go cut our own - promise! As you can see, it was a very mild day.
We let Audrey and Sami participate in the tree trimming this year. It went fine until. . .
Audrey decided to carry some glass ornaments over the ceramic tile.
As the grand finale of tree trimming, Lauren dramatically placed the star on top of the tree. . .
only to hear Annika insisting on having a turn as well.
Another mild day in December. Yes, they are still in their pj's.
Whoever said you need rain to wear a rain jacket?!
Audrey loves dress up.
Sami loves birthdays.
Boxes really are the best toys.
Here's Audrey after her eye surgery. Her eyes were quite sensitive to light so she got to use my sunglasses at the dinner table.
Nothing says December like. . .growing a beard???
CCS Christmas program. Lauren is 2 from the left in the front row.
Annika was so excited to sing at the Christmas program. She had a huge smile on her face the whole night while singing her heart out.
Our Kingdom Group white elephant party got a little crazy when Annika decided to try on everyone's gifts. Clearly, she has the gift of entertaining. . .
How could someone so cute have stolen her sister's ballet outfit and put it on?
No snow in December? No problem - grass sledding!
Christmas cookies!
No wonder Sami wakes up a lot at night. . .check out this sleep position!
Here is Annika sorting the presents - another gift of hers!
O Come O Come Emmanuel. . .
Are we going to get matching gifts for the rest of our lives???? Thankfully, at this point they don't care.
Bring on the snow!
I'm a little unclear as to what color that bike is. . .can you say PINK?
We have entered the world of gaming with xbox kinect. At least its entertaining and keeps them moving.
With 4 girls participating it became much harder to keep track of whose turn it was to add to the nativity calendar.
