Winter Day Fun

The winter days get long...

especially when you have a toddler that wakes up give or take around 5am.

So to beat one of the long mornings we broke out the bubbles!

I don't know if Cora had had a bubble bath yet.

She loved it!

They ended up being in there for over 2 hours!  

I only had to warm the water up once and I was able to get some stuff done :)

100 Days of K

100 days of school already?!

Josiah wore his Lego shirt that he can build on.

It was super cool... except he wore it on the wrong day.

Oh well, we'll get it right next year.

Cupcake Cora

Cora loves getting made up.  

She already wants moisturizer, lip gloss, and her lavender oil on every morning. 

As much as she likes to dress up, she does not like being serious for a picture.

There's the nice one.

 Even Princesses have to go potty.

"Don't take my picture while I relieve myself!"

If you missed Lillian's dress up check it out here.

Pretty as a Princess

The girls and I have been home sick for 3 days now.  So instead of laying on the couch and being a lethargic log I decided it was time to do something for the girls.

Lillian earned her final sticker on her chart (started over2 months ago) last night, so this morning she received her dress she picked out as a reward.  Lillian and I watched Toddlers & Tiaras last night (there's a first for everything) so this morning she wanted to put makeup on her eyes. 

                                             

      

  

               

She wasn't into having her picture taken at first.  

Then I started talking about boogers and that made her smile :)

Come back and see Cora's sweet face in a few days.

Color me Rad

I can't get enough of this girl. 

 She is so fun, lovable, sweet, and has a natural sense of humor.

This was the morning after her bath.

 So she was able to wear her artistic expression for another whole day!  

Very proud indeed :)

                                             

                                       

Check out this if your having some deja vu right now :)

Wonderland

The day after Christmas we were supposed to leave for Nashville, TN. I had planned for a month a trip to the Opryland hotel to see Shrek's christmas.  When the "blizzard" came through plans were changed... for the better!

With all the awesome snow that came down they kids and daddy headed outside for the winter wonderland. While mommy dutifully stayed in the warm house to adjust mittens and make hot cocoa. 

Grant fulfilled my childhood dream of building an igloo that you could actually go in with a roof over your head.

Lillian :)

Cora!

Jojo

How cool is that!

Josiah summited Mt. Grill.

Christmas Morning

The joy of Christmas morning is something that a photo doesn't quite capture.

I hope I can store all the memories in my heart forever.

That's a priceless face.

 Lillian is not a morning person.  Even on Christmas morning.

 Making them take a pic before tearing into presents.

Cora was not into it.

 Excitement over her princess microphone

 I think Lillian has the left over of santa's cookies in here mouth.

As many of you know Josiah is not the most gracious gift receiver.

This year he said,  "I don't like my presents. Why didn't Santa get me what I asked for?"

I told him," you asked for a remote control car."

"From Weewa, not Santa." ummm, well

"Santa only brings you one gift and he must not heard you right"

We will see how long this Santa thing last. I'm not that into it and making up elaborate explanations.  

I say he has 1 year, maybe 2 left.
