Tashi visits with Santa!

We visited a friend's church this last Sunday. The girls were so excited to find out Santa was visiting the church that week too! He came over to us and asked if we would like to get a picture with him and his daughter. Elle asked me to tell him she would like a cookie in her stocking. As soon as Tashi found out Santa was giving out candy canes to all the children that visited with him she jumped off my lap squealing and tried to run over to him! Elle was going to sit with Santa too, but last minute she decided she wasn't ready. Tashi shared a piece of her treasured candy cane with Elle.

Reading christmas book with Nana! She made the girls pretty new dresses that match!

Playing 'matches' with daddy.

Snowballs and Santa's Workshop

Elle in the snow

Natasha and Mommy (and Claira) with Mr. Snowman

Once inside Natasha cuddled in my lap and feel asleep with in just a few minutes. She missed out on the hot "Cah-co" Daddy was making us.

We are excitedly getting ready for Christmas. We had several wonderful days of snow these past few days. The girls are at the age that they love to play in the snow now. We made a snowman, pulled the girls on the sled, and just enjoyed the beauty of it. I guess the snow gave me a craving for snowball cookies. Daniel brought home groceries tonight after a long day of job hunting and building his ukulele (that I can't give too much information out about yet as he wants to copy write the idea first), and we made a batch of snowballs! Waiting for them to cool a bit now before we powder them. With Daniel being out of work we have been working hard to be creative this year for presents. I'm pretty excited about all the homemade gift ideas that will cost us nothing or little to make for the girls. I'll have to post pictures as we make them. I asked Elle what she wanted Santa to bring her in her stocking this year and she said she wanted a cookie! She is constantly reminding me to sew her stocking so it's ready for the cookie Santa might bring her. :o) We'll I better go powder some snowballs! I hope everyone is enjoying this holiday season so far.

Hope all is well,

Beth

Tashi found a cloth baby wipe and cloth diaper and is doing an excelent job mothering. :-) she looked up at me and said Bah-um real seriously. I said you cleaning its bottom? And she shook her head yes and said huh. For uh-huh. Then she said die-y for diaper as she put the diaper around baby and said Col for cold. It was too cute.

After quite the horrifying head bump that daniel and i think swelled about an inch high, Tashi slept for several hours and woke screaming and confused what she wanted. Tried all kinds of things but finaly food did the trick. She ate two hot pockets for a midnight snack and seems much happier although still in pain im sure.

My little book worm has been sitting here a long time reading to herself.

On a date with daddy!

Had a beautiful quiet fall family dinner last night. Garlic lime chicken, garlic mashed potatoes, and spinach Cranberry salad. All four of us sick with colds but still a very special moment together.

FWD:

Its a Claira! Going to let daniel help me announce it to others though so keep it quiet for a bit still. :-)

Peanut butter and jelly after a long day chasing balloons wiped her out.

Sending daddy goodnight kisses while he was at work.

gave each of the girls a wet soapy rag to wash the stair rails. They love playing on the stairs anyways!

Sisterly cuddling! Natasha is also on top of my one arm. Not sure how to pull it out yet!

Wishing and hoping. She likes the waterfalls. I think we will have to come back with swim suits someday.

Told them to smile and Tasha did the whole head tilt and them smiled after it took.

Just found Natasha sitting here im our closet. Climbed up herself.

Potty time. I asked her if she was done and she shook her head no. I started to pick her up anyways as elle needed to go but then noticed she really was still going. Whoops. I guess i need to believe her when she says no.

Tashi loves the beans i cooked. Haha! She keeps looking at me and saying Mmm! Here she eating like little puppy and laughingat herself. :-)

Almost all of them down. Natasha got up as i took the Picture. A 3 year old 2 year old and two one year olds!

Projectile vomited last night all over mommy's face and Tashi and the bed, but today much better. Might have had bad corn beef.
