Lied-ed

Don't tell Emma you will come in to her room and tickle her and then she falls asleep before you get a chance. She will wake up in the morning and say "you lied-ed!"

Tis The Season!

We always decorate the house and get our Christmas tree up the weekend after Thanksgiving.  This year we were debating getting a new tree but hadn't gotten around to it so we decided we would get a new one after this Christmas when they were on sale.  Then, while looking for our old tree in the garage and being unable to locate it we remembered that we had tossed it last year! Whoops!  So, we loaded up the whole family and headed to Home Depot to get a new tree.  When we walked in a lady asked us if we had come for the kids craft and to meet Santa.  Although we hadn't we said "yes!".  So glad we did, because it was awesome.  The girls got to spend time with Mrs. Claus and Santa and make a craft with them.  It was so fun and they pretty much had Santa all to themselves.  We even got Polly's first Santa picture there! And her first candy cane.  So cool!  We walked out with happy girls and a brand new tree.
Emma- baby wearing while she hammers.

Polly gave her first candy cane 2 thumbs up!

We had a blast getting the tree up and my big girls were big helpers this year.  PJ took a long nap while we worked hard on the tree.







Emma's turn to put the star on!

Gingerbread Houses

Friday was C shift, so the girls and I invited Mamaw over to help us make gingerbread houses.
We had so much fun and they turned out cute.



The upside down peace sign is the gingerbread man.
