Power of Imagination

I continue to be amazed at the power of imagination that Alaina & Addison have.  For years the girls have had their own cupboard at my house filled with water bottles, water pitchers, and the like.  Year after year they find new and imaginative ways to play with these simple "toys".  They set this up in my basement and I haven't had the heart to put it away.  It brings a smile to my face every time I see it

Merry Christmas from Chicago!

We drove in at 2 am to Chicago - it was totally worth seeing the girls' faces!
We exchanged gifts, played play-dough, sang Christmas carols, Emily played piano, and read books.  It's been a relaxing day.

We've had a recent obesession with . . .

Princesses.
Who can blame us with all of the talk of these two?

And after we read this book, we certainly knew it was true - we are royalty :)

Addie


Addie - Happy Birthday to you. I am so sorry that it is so snowy out today and that I won't be at your birthday party.
I am thinking of all the wonderful things about you. You have a precious smile and I love the way your shiny white teeth peek out! I love the way that your hair curls up in the back. I love the way that you giggle when something is funny or the tickle bug has found you. I love that you can still pull your foot above your head without wincing. You are fantastic at playing peek-a-boo and so-big. You have a pretty voice and you can wave hello better than any little girl I know! I love how your sweet spirit shows all of your face when someone you love walks in the room. I can't wait to see the lovely lady that you grow up to be. I pray that God watch over your every step - that you grow in stature and wisdom - that you come to know our Awesome God, intimately and with great trust. Now have a great Birthday Addie - I'll see you soon. Much Love, Aunt CC

Somebody likes her new carseat!


Addie Jane was all smiles on the way up north.

Christmas - An All Day Affair

We began early and ended late.  The girls were up by 7 (late I know for some kids but early enough for me).  Alaina was so excited she didn't know what to do.  Santa had been to our house and left two giant bags of presents for each of the girls; they had been good this year - listening and obeying their parents, using their manners, and tinkling in the potty!!



Alaina loved her new kaleidoscope


Ms. Addie discovered she loves peppermint!


We enjoyed giving and receiving presents.  Ooohhh la la - new cowgirl boots for me!  Dad is dawning his new running jacket.  I love his smile - Addie Jane has the same exact smile! 


Tender moments between Emily Ann and Addie Jane (and Lilly the frog too!).


Alaina playing with Angelina Ballerina.


 Amazing wrapping job. Dad was surprised that we gave him the helicopter he had his eye on!


Alaina was playing with her new kitchen pot on her own in the kitchen.  When we looked in on her she had on Papa's hat.  It was so darling.  We asked her what she was doing and she said, "I'm Papa-Man!".


Pete and Emily Ann laughing hysterically at "Papa-Man"



Mom was busy as a bee all day - cleaning up wrapping paper, handing out gifts, and lovin' on the girls!
