Christmas day

We almost forgot to put out our milk and cookies for Santa but got them out at the last min. I slept like a 4 year old on Christmas eve and got up every half hour to check the time Erilyn got up at 3 to go potty and then decided she no longer wanted to sleep on the couch and moved up stairs. Enslie woke up and only wanted mommy to hold her. so I gave up on the sleep thing and got up with her at 530 to make sure everything was ready for when Erilyn woke up. Enslie ate some cheerios and I noticed she was falling asleep in her chair so I layed her down and got breakfast going since I was wide awake now. finally at 7 I couldn't wait any longer and woke Erilyn up and had her go wake up Travis while I snapped some quick pics. She ran down stairs "daddy Santa came! he came daddy hurry!!" 

Erilyns stash of santa gifts.

Enslies Santa gift.

My early bird.

The cookies got eaten .and milk drank.

All the gifts. giggles stayed to see how much the girls like their presents and left that  night.

checking out her stocking. She got a jump rope, new tooth brush, band-ades, a watch and lots of candy.

Its a tradition for the kids to get a doll that look like them for their first Christmas. This one was a lot easier to find then Erilyns (who knew a bald light skinned brown eyed baby would be so hard to find but we found one eventually) if you compare this doll with the next pic they are very similar!.

I was organizing and finding a place for all the new toys and found this I should have known she was to quiet!! she unwrapped it and everything.

Erilyn waering one of her favorite gifts her "real Sophia dress!" if you look closely you can see she put a sticker of an amulet on her neck since santa couldn't find a reel one......

And tiara sticker on her head.

This was another great Christmas!! a few other things the girls got were Erilyn got  hungry hippos, lamby, a fort building kit, mouse trap, art kit, books and activities for the church bag from my parents a huge Sophia art kit , Enslie got big girl towels and lots of stacking toys, from my parents a rocking horse. Travis got a chain saw from my Parents shoes socks from me and bath and body kit from the girls. I got a shirt my pampered chef stuff and wii game from Travis and the girls and money for cloths from my parents. We were super spoiled!!

Christmas eve

Christmas eve My Siter was nice enough to drive us to go shopping for Christmas eve snacks. we don't have enough carseats now that Enslie is in a big girl carseat to hitch a ride with my mom but shaless has 2 cars so 2 carseats in each so we buckled our extra one in her car and Erilyn in Londons carseat and off we went.

Silly girls.

After shopping we came home and went thru toys to put under the tree (see previous post) Then Travis mom came over to give the girls their present........ a doll house. We then headed to my moms junk food, Texas pjs, and toasting, 

Enslie trying a drop left in daddies cup.
after we headed home and put cookies out for santa Erilyn also got to open a present with snacks and new movie in it she watched it on the couch where she eventually fell asleep so Santa could come, She slept there with the baby gate closed so she couldn't sneek up stairs . till about 3 when she woke up and wanted her own bed so we trapped her in her room so she couldn't sneek out.

Giggles part 3

 

 Giggles fell out of the stocking one day and the little boy I babysit picked it up to put it back the girls both started freeking out because that ment she lost her magic (you aren't supposed to touch her.) Minutes later there was a nock at the door and this note was stuffed inside with no one in sight.

On Christmas eve giggle brought another note from santa it said some thing like:  you have made it back on the nice list but santa is afraid that there isn't enough room for all of the presants he is bringing so to go thru them and put them in bags under the tree for santa to take and donate to kids you need them more then her. we filled 2 big bags and a few thing that didn't fit under there to santa took them and spoiled her big time!!

Christmas street

One night we took the girls to see Christmas street they loved it we also went to a house in west vally that dances to music I didn't get pics because we were all to busy watching she lights. this is the girls reaction to Christmas street.

Zoo Lights

We heard that zoo light was doing a Thursday night special letting every one in for $3 since the girls are free that ment only $6 to go to Zoo light adults are usually $7. We thought it might be fun if Erilyn had a friend to see the light with so we invited my sisters family they were already planning on going with her in laws so we all ment up and went.

Londons grandma bought these light sticks for the girls. Erilyn loves this toy ive already changed the batteries in it a few times. She also brought yummy scones to share.

The lights were beautiful as always and the family time was great as usual.

Erilyns 3rd birthday

When we told Erilyn her birthday was soon. She said "mine friends come over for cake and popsicles please?" So she had some family and friends over for cake and popsicles. But before they came over she woke up to this...

Mommy and daddy put balloons in her room while she was sleeping.

and giggles put streamers on her door pink and orange her favorite colors.

when she woke up she said "silly giggles put paper on mine door mine birthday mommy she so silly!!"

showing me a balloon " Thank you mommy daddy mine balloons my birthday"

This is where we found giggles the paper says look in the fridge. 

So we looked in the fridge and found this its a good thing Santa brought her one because mommy and daddy forgot to buy her one then it was sun and the next day her birthday. Its a good thing she asked for one on her list. 

 Her presents from mommy and daddy Minnie dress up kit and her own camera no more filling mommies up with the same pic over and over again,

Im so lucky to call this girl mine she is so smart and such a good big sister. She loves to eat suckers and drive mommy crazy. She is fully potty trained even at night she very rarely has an accident and when she does she feels so bad. She is my everything and more im so happy I get to be her mom.

Sugar cookies

One day we invited a friend over to make sugar cookies Erilyn had been on one all day but I figured maybe making sugar cookies would help..... It didn't and I was so mbareesed Erilyn was wining, crying, hitting, pushing and licking the knives the whole time.

I gave Enslie some frosting she LOVED it.

Erilyn spilled the red sprinkles and then licked them the table resulting I this beautiful ness.

She loved frosting.

The cookies I decorated.... I mean Erilyn helped me decorate. All though Erilyn was being a butt I had fun talking to her friends mom and getting creative with the cookies.
