Gingerbread Houses

A tad after Christmas, but these are the gingerbread houses we made. The girls were way more excited about decorating the houses than eating them! Probably all good, since they were past their prime!

More Birthday Fun

More birthday surprises! Weaving looms, Fairy Barbie, Sprinkle/Chocolate covered pretzels, and surprising Emma at school!

A Very Merry Birthday

It's a very Barbie birthday for the peace sign girl! She had lots of fun opening presents before school!

Peace Sign Birthday

Hippie Emma enjoyed going to the Pottery Painting Studio to celebrate her birthday! She decorated the peace sign cake with M&Ms herself. 21 children celebrated by painting pottery with her at the studio. Great birthday!!!!!

Merry, merry Christmas

What did Emma want for Christmas? Dress-up clothes! We found some rainbow-hued and sparkly. Perfect!

What did Lily want for Christmas? Dinosaurs! We found them in all shapes a sizes. Perfect!

Christmastime is here

Best gift this year? Electric toothbrushes in the stockings! Who knew? Also small, kid-size spatulas. The girls also enjoyed a visit from Santa, who they were pretty sure was Daddy. :)

Emma's Christmas Program

Lots of activities this time of year! This was Emma's Christmas program. It was all of the first and second grade kids at her school. She had a speaking part, and she did a great job!

Frost

We've had pretty severe frost for several days. Never warms up enough to melt, just keeps adding more and more frost!
