Whooie Pants is back and up to some mischievous stuff. He had a fun little note for the girls from Santa ;-)
Tis' the Season... While Natalie napped, Clara helped decorate the tree and drink some hot chocolate. We could have NEVER let Natalie help with this, or all our ornaments would be in pieces... maybe next year... I hope!
But she sure does enjoy fun little projects, especially if she can destroy her master piece and not get in trouble for it.
Clara always has the patience to finish it, then doesn't want to destroy it! Even if it's marshmallows!
But she took the plunge and gobbled them up :-)
Our advent calender has had a do all sorts of fun things. On this day, we had to have dinner by candle light. Which was a blast... Natalie liked to make the flame "dance" by blowing on it constantly and Clara had a heart attack every 30 seconds since it would almost go out! But at the end of dinner... Daddy had a fun idea and roasted some mini marshmallows for them over the flame...
Oh... Christmas tree... Oh Christmas tree....
a fun note from Whooie....
and a pancake and candle breakfast!
After school we took her out to lunch. Here she is looking at a card Nat made for her with stickers.
Then back home to open her presents that Nana left for her. Nana put them in the laundry room before they went on vacation, and every time she went to put her shoes on she would say... "I know what that is. It's a Lalaloopsy because that's exactly what there box's look like." She could not wait to open that present!!!
Clara is all ready for her Birthday bowling party!!! I think it was a real hit....
Here they all are, trying to figure out who's next!
It took us almost 2 hours to get through 10 frames! I never thought we would finsish... I think half the reason it took so long is because Natalie's ball would get down the lane in approx... 2 minutes. Here are all the kids lined up waiting to see it hit those pins...
CHEESE!!! Natalie was loving life with Trent and his french fries!
Pizza time....
Desert time.... Then off to the arcade for some pure chaos!
Last week one of Clara's friends, Clara (same name) came over to make and decorate ginger bread men. They had lot's of fun!!!
Playing in the bath together!
SNOW!!!!! Natalie couldn't wait to get outside to make a snow angel... It's the first thing she did once she hit that ground.
And Clara taught her out to eat it... There was never really a moment I can remember where there wasn't snow in there mouth.
And Daddy got started on the snow man right away!
Such a cute little snow angel!
And here there getting big hand full's of snow to eat...
It was so nice to be able to play in the snow...
Apparently Mr. snow man has good flavor!
Natalie thinks so too!
See all this snow... She has a mouthful!
While Daddy and Pip went to dance class... Natalie and I made sugar cookies. It was an interesting experience. I know.... How could this sweet little face be any trouble, right?
This is what she did most of the time. Messed with spatula and mat. The other part of the time, she was poking the cookies...
Poor thing... After lots of scolding, she shed some tears and took a little rest on the counter.
We got invited over to Nana and Papa's for the Christmas ships, and Santa was on them! Before we got to go out to watch them, Pip was being silly.
And doing puzzles with this handsome man...
Until it was time to go out and check for Santa.
But the Wizard of OZ was on TV, and Nat is infatuated with witches right now, so this was something she could not get enough of. "The witches with green makeup on there faces and hands and say ahhh...ahhh...ahhhh.." She tells me this every night at bed time.
Waiting so patiently for Santa
And giving out smooches to kill some time...
We love our Nana and Papa....
It's those Witches again....
Can you see me???
Snuggle time...
Here they are!!!!!
