Ellie singing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Story time with Mrs. Claus

Today at Story time Mrs. Claus came to visit with the children. She read them Christmas books and sang Christmas songs with them. Mrs. Claus also took notes of what the children want from Santa, just in case he forgets.

Sunday School Pageant

Ellie had her first Sunday school Christmas pageant on December 14th and it was very cute. All the children did very well. The pre-K and K were God's little sheep. Ellie worked very hard on knowing her songs, Saturday night before the pageant I went in to check on Ellie after she had gone to sleep and I pulled the blankets up on her and she started singing "Away in a Manager" in her sleep, too cute!!!!!!!!! She loves singing and can't wait for her preschool Christmas program. And Sydney was very well behaved, providing we were in Church for 3 hours that morning.

Can't wait for Santa

Ellie and Sydney had lots of fun at "Breakfast with Santa"! We had Yummy pancakes and sausages and were able to spend time with Santa. And look at our cute T-shirts!

Ready for Santa

The tree is all decorated and the stockings were hung with care, Ellie and Sydney both hope that St. Nicholas will soon be here!

Baby #3

Had our 2nd baby appointment and everything is going well, measuring on target and the baby's heartbeat is 159 - which could mean another girl?!?!?! We'll see soon enough.

Chuck E Cheeses

Mom and Dad took the girls for some fun at Chuck E. Cheeses! They had a blast playing the games and playing in the activity land.

16 weeks and counting

Ringing Bells

Ellie, Sydney and Mom had fun ringing bells for the Salvation Army at our nearby Festival Foods. We were able to capitalize on how cute the girls were for donations, a lot of people commented on "how they couldn't not give"! Good Job girls!

I love NY!

Great Grandma and Great Grandpa recently went on a cruise and brought us back these t-shirts. Don't we look cute!

Sydney had her first haircut! She sat very nice for Mom to trim her hair.

Trick-or-Treating!

Ellie and Sydney had a blast trick-or-treating. They received lots of candy and had fun seeing the neighbors and all the kids dressed up. Sydney walked the whole neighborhood, I would ask her "Sydney do you want to ride in the stroller?" and she would say "No, Mom, run!" She ran and walked so much that the next day her feet were sore and she had to resort to crawling around. It was so cute to watch her crawl from one thing to another, she would say "Foot, Owee, Mom!"
Now that Halloween is over they are very excited about the Christmas holiday and Santa coming! They are so cute they convinced me to put up our new Christmas tree. I know it is a little early but you are young only once and the holidays are so special to them that I can't help but indulge them. Plus who doesn't like the glow of a Christmas tree??
