BUILD-A-BEAR!!!!

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!!!

SNOW!!!!!!

Today is started snowing and has not stopped!!! I have been waiting for it to snow enough that I could break out the snowball blaster guns I bought at Costco a month ago (early christmas present for the family...mostly so us girls could take Daddy DOWN!!!) We hid behind the shrubs infront of the front door and I shot a few snowballs at the door so Dad would come out. When he opened the door we got him good!!!! HAHAHAHA!!! My little snow angels love playing in the snow!!!!!

Santa Claus is Comin' To.....(The Mall)

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!!!

Family Movie Day!!!

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!

School Christmas Concert

Today Maddisen's school had their Christmas concert. All of the classes did a great job. Maddisen was so excited to have Emma, Daddy and I come to watch her sing! Emma and I came early to have lunch with her since I had the day off from preschool and we wanted to make Maddisen feel special! We love you big girl!!

Emma Scissorhands!

Well I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later being that Emma Dilemma lives here!!! I walk into the playroom after coming up from my last class to find a soaking wet Island Princess barbie (newly renamed Survivor Barbie), a pair of green preschool scissors and bunches of blonde hair. Not only did she cut her barbie dolls hair but she then decided her and her friends needed a bath (dad forgot to drain the water in the tub last night). Next to this are 4 soaking wet barbie dolls. Emma walks in and sees that I have found her naughty work! I tell her that barbie looks so sad because she cut all her hair off and Emma picks her up and says, "I'm so sorry barbie! I'm sad too cause now I'm in big twouuble! It'll be okay barbie, right mama?" It took me a moment to respond,,,,,Emma has been on this naughty kick the past week. I tell her it won't grow back, and that if she cuts off all her barbie dolls hair they will be sad and won't want to play with her anymore. She says, " I pwomise, I pwomise mama I won't cut anymore hair 'cause I love my barbie friends!!!" We'll see how long that lasts,,,,WE ARE HIDING THE SCISSORS (at least till we get some cute Christmas pictures!)!!!! Good thing you're stinker cute Emma!!!
