Christmas at Grandma's (on Christmas Eve)

On Christmas eve, we headed to Grandma's house for brunch to kick off our Christmas festivities.  It was AWESOME.  The girls had SO much fun.  We had tons of yummy food, lots of family fun, and way more gifts than the kids needed!!  Grandma even got all 4 kids stockings!!  How fun!!

 

Can you guess what the kids all got in their stockings??

Woo-Hoo!!  Glow Pets!  They were so excited!

So Sweet!!

 

Leah's reaction to her telescope that Grandma got her...she could NOT have been more excited!!!

As always, lots of fun times at Grandma's house

Haircut/Dentist

We got Leah's hair cut (again) on Monday evening!  She only got a little cut the first time and she didn't like that it still hurt when her hair got all tangled and we had to brush it out, so she wanted to get it cut shorter!  I have to say...I was hesitant to get their hair cut at all in the beginning, but I LOVE this haircut!  I think she looks so cute...although to me she looks a lot older which is a bit sad!

Yesterday, the girls had a dentist appointment (right before dance...hence the outfit)!  Leah did great.  She jumped right up in the chair and was ready to go.  She cried for a couple seconds when they were brushing her teeth, but otherwise was a champ!  Bella on the other hand...ugh...she screamed bloody murder from the time Leah got in the chair until we were done with the appointment...no exaggeration!  When it was her turn to get in the chair she clamped her hand over her mouth and screamed and screamed.  I had to pry her hands off and they had to practically pry her mouth open to get the toothbrush in there.  It was NUTS.  I have no idea why she was so scared, but wow...it was quite an appointment.  I am sure they were not sad when we were ready to go!  Good news though...no cavities and both of their jaws have set in place after getting rid of the pacifiers...so as of now...it doesn't seem like we have braces in the future (although that could always change I guess).

We got a little snack at the YMCA before dance class...Love her hair :)

Fun weekend

A sample if just a few of the fun things we did this long thanksgiving weekend!!

Wednesday we went to the YMCA and it was snowing a little so the girls wanted to take their umbrella!

Thanksgiving morning, Isabella wanted me to do her nails (which is pretty much her request EVERY day)

Back at the YMCA on Friday playing on the outside equiptment

Friday night PJ party

Saturday I took the girls to the cheap movie theater to see Dispicable Me 2

Sunday we decorated the Christmas Tree!!!

We started the decorating with a little hot chocolate

Leah's view of Christmas decorating...think she needs a few lessons on keeping the camera still!



Isabella's view of the decorating...a little less blury but still needs a little help.

Isabella is such a goof!!!

They have been talking about putting the star up for weeks!!  So, we let them try...

The finished product

As I left for work this morning...Isabella insisted on me taking a picture of her infront of the tree before I left!
