More Holidays

This has been a really fun week. The tree is completely up, presents are wrapped. The Christmas music has been playing and I think that I have eaten my share of sweets already for this holiday season. I love this time of year!

We finally got some rain (not as much as the Oregonians) which was needed badly. Ari loves the rain, and spent her time walking in the gutter looking for rocks.

Normally I only give the girls a shower. They do well in there as long as they have their water babies, a Popsicle and their farm animals. About a week ago my parents introduced them to baths and they have had at least one everyday for the past week. They enjoy themselves a little too much.

We made a ginger bread house. Ari probably licked every piece of candy we put on it. She was a little out of control with the eating of the candy. Now every time she walks by she says, "I made that".Here are the girls right before church in their Christmas dresses. On Sunday we watched the Christmas devotional. We went to the Mesa Temple to see the lights for family night. As usual we had a wonderful time and the lights were beautiful!

Good thing Ari is not in our competition with all that candy. Although she may still be ahead of you apparently. I still don't have your score for the week.

Those are some great pictures. I LOVE the family picture. And that kind of a mohawk that can only be achieved in the bathtub....my boys refer to that as dinosaur hair. too cute!

I love these pictures. It makes my day when I check your blog and it is updated. My updates have been kind of lame lately due to the fact that we don't have a camera.
Anyways I am so excited for you guys to come up... only about 2.5 weeks. yippee. Hey between the time school is out and you come I am going to attempt to sew a dress... just a little one, like Ari sized. Wish me luck.

WHen the girls are in the bath tub on the right side of the picture it looks to me that there is a naked should with freckles on it. Now, who is the only one with the nerve to show a naked, freckled shoulder?? Oh I know, I know...

Olivia has those same snowflake pajamas. They are so cute, but Olivia hates the feet. Oh well, we make her wear them anyway. Call me.
