Tonight the four of us went in search of some great sledding slopes!!! Boy did we find some!!! We spent a couple hours flying down the slopes sending squeals of excitement into the air!!!! Maddisen was ALLLLL over it right from the start but Emma took a little convincing to try it. It only took one run down the hill and Emma couldn't get enough!!!!! While we were sledding I told Dusty that we should blow up the inflatable boat that we haven't used in years and take it with us tomorrow. He was all over that so tonight he dug it out of the garage and blew it up!!! Somehow we both remember it being MUCH bigger,,,,hmmm I wonder if it shrunk or,,,,ya I know what your thinking,,,that can't possibly be what happened,,ANYWAY!!! We had so much fun tonight that when we came home we called a bunch of friends in the area and we are going to hit the slopes again tomorrow!!!! Can't wait to rip it up again ! (that was Keith's (AKA Dusty's) comment :) In the last picture Daddy is showing Emma how to lean while sledding,,,,,I like the intense look on your face!!!hahahaha!
Maddisen came running into our bedroom about 7:30 screaming," he came, he came,, Santa came!!!!" Emma was still snug in her bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in her head (next year we will have to keep Maddisen up even later I guess ;) So we got up while Maddisen woke up her sister with hugs and kisses! Emma came around the corner into the livingroom and said, "Oh MY,,,Oh MY!!!!" Santa had left presents everywhere and stockings filled to the top that were as tall as them!!! Every year Santa leaves the girls a note in his "Santa scribble" and it was fun for Maddisen to be able to read it to us. She was almost all the way through the letter when she stops and says, " Boy, Santa sure needs to practice his writing more!" Too funny!!! We had so much fun spending time together and enjoying each others excitement! Merry Christmas!
The girls are setting out the cookies, milk and carrots for Santa and the Reindeer! Those carrots sure are looking old,,,hope the reindeer don't mind. We'll get you some fresh ones next year!!
I love Christmas morning! Sleepy babies, with sleepy eyes and hearts filled with excitement!!!! Does it get any better?!?!?!
Emma was determined to get EVERYTHING out of her stocking!!!
Kitty Cat Grandma and Tractor Grandpa got the girls pajamas, slippers and house coats. The girls were SO excited to have a new doll in the same matching pajamas as theirs. The girls think the house coats are the best! Even after they got dressed for the day, they still had to put them on over top of their clothes! Silly girls!
Dad really wanted a nintendo wii for christmas so the girls and I decided to trick him and just get him a controller (candy dispencer)! Not sure how impressed he was...:) Maddisen calls the nintendo wii ...a "wii wii" and everytime she does we bust out laughing!!! She goes up to dad and says, "Can we play with your wii wii?" HOW CAN YOU NOT LAUGH!!! (I'm busting up as I'm typing this,,,,TOO FUNNY!!!!)
CHRISTMAS HUGS!!!
This year the girls picked out gifts for each other and helped wrap them. They were SO excited to give their gifts to each other!!!
Whenever I get the chance I try to buy the girls matching outfits. The girls think it is so cool to match and I know that won't last forever!!
Thank you DressUp Grandma and Helicopter Grandpa..........We love you!!!! We decided to go a day early and take the girls to the mall. It was a GREAT day to go because the line was short and everything was in stock!!! The girls were careful to pick out the perfect bears and the prettiest outfits!!! They were BEYOND excited about EVERYTHING that they saw and the girl that helped them truly brought their bear to life!!! After they picked out the bear they wanted, they waited in line to get their bear stuffed. The gal that helped them had the girls warm up the bears heart by rubbing it between their hands, rub the heart on their muscles (to make it strong), on their cheek (to make it beautiful), on their forehead (to make it smart), on their tummy (so it would never be hungry) and on their nose (so it would never be stinky)! Emma thought the stinky part was great. As she walked away with her bear she looks at it and says, "You're never gonna be stinky, right bear?" So funny!!! They gave the bear a "bath" (air coming out of the spray nozzles) and then dressed them in the outfits they picked out. The last thing they needed to do was make a birth certificate for their bear and give it a name,,Maddisen called hers Isabelle Lily and Emma chose Sarah. What a FUN day! The girls will remember it for a very long time!!! As we were leaving Maddisen said, "Now that was COOL!!!" The girls and I made a deal that we would donate all their other stuffed animals to kids who need a bear to love! The girls thought this was a great idea!!! I love you my little sweethearts!!!
Today we went to the mall to see Santa! The girls were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO excited to see him. The snow was coming down like crazy and so we took our time getting to the mall. When we got there no one was in line to see Santa so we had him all to ourselves for at least 5-7 minutes!!!! The girls couldn't get enough of him. Emma even had to try out the beard to see if it was real,,PHEW IT WAS!!!! (Well maybe not phew for Santa's sake,,,:)0 ) Just as we were about to leave Maddi turns around and says, "I love you Santa!" and give him a HUGE hug!!! Emma followed with another big hug for Santa. WE LOVE YOU SANTA!!!
One of the things we had planned for the Christmas break is a movie day! Today we decided to go see Bolt (3D version). The girls and I had never been to a 3D movie before so that was exciting for all of us. It was such a CUTE movie and the girls thought it was SO COOL to wear black glasses in the theater! Don't they look so cute in their matching sweaters and black shades!?!?!?!
Emma's facial expression cracks me up in this last one!! Too funny!
