Great Grandma Lou sent a few boxes of sugar cookies, frosting and sprinkles for the girls to decorate. They had a yummy time for sure. Thank you Gma Lou for such a fun and tasty treat!
I can barely see Addie’s cookie under all those sprinkles! Delicious!
The girls may just have one of the best Great Grandmas ever! Grandma Lou sent the girls a box full of Valentine’s goodies today. There was books, clothes, and of course cookies and candy! They are so excited to decorate the cookies with Addie. They did get to taste a few cookies today, just to make sure they were still fresh after the travel.
We signed Kayleigh up for Kindergarten today!! When did she get so old? She was so excited to visit her new school. She got this special coloring book to work on while I filled out her forms. She was very proud of herself and can not wait!
Josh and I have been trying to decide for a while to sign her up for half or full day Kindergarten. After talking with some different teachers and parents we decided to do the 6 hour day instead of the 3 hour day. This year she does 3 hours and it is perfect. It gets her out of the house and she is learning so much. I just think she is so little to spend so much time in school. But apparently half and full day have the same curriculum but the half day cuts a lot of the specials like computers or music. Our afternoons now are hanging at home, because Taylor is still a big napper. So we thought, being that she loves school, better to have her there learning and having fun, then just hanging at home with me. It will be good for her, it will just be a big change. We are all looking forward to this new and exciting part of our lives!
Kayleigh’s BFF Sydney turned 5! Kayleigh was really excited to spend the day with her at her house. She even had a special Hello Kitty dress she has been waiting a month to wear just for this occasion. It was the perfect party for these girls. Complete with makeovers, nails, and tattoos. We had a fabulous time! Happy Birthday Miss Sydney!
Papa Mike and Gma Lisa gave the girls front row tickets to Disney on Ice as one of their Christmas presents. It was awesome! We have been to a few show and we thought this was the best yet! Every princess was there and Toy Story. We were about a foot away from the ice and center stage. They girls enjoyed popcorn and lemonade. We had an amazing time- thank you Papa and Gaga!
It was snowing on us!
Carrie had to hold onto Addie, because I think she was ready to be in the show…
Kayleigh dancing with Aladdin…
All the girls!
Tonight we celebrated April’s birthday! The girls love their Auntie April! She is so great and patient with them. She lets them play in her room and play with her toys. She has a room filled to the brim with 35+ years worth of goodies. She has balloons, figurines, games, movies, stuffed animals, and you name it! Not sure how many times we had to light those cake candles. The girls all wanted to blow them out and of course April had to get her turn making a wish. We love you very much April!
I have been wanting to change up our kitchen for a while. I would love new counter tops one day, but decided to start with a new back splash. Josh has never done tile before, but was definitely up for the challenge. We enlisted our nephew Tanner to help out.
Before…
Setting the tile…
Grouting…
Sealed and Finished…
I love it!! Thanks guys for all your hard work. I did get my hands dirty a few times too. I am already thinking of the next project for Josh and Tanner!
Josh brought my car in for an oil change today with his little side kick. I met up with them at the dealership and this is what I find…
That girl loves her chocolate! She ate almost the entire donut and she already had breakfast today!
Taylor is very particular when it comes to her sleeping. She loves nap time and will usually sleep for at least 2-3 hours. There have been many times I have had to wake her up for dinner. She HAS to sleep with her baby blanket, Cars blanket, pillow pet, then a slew of toys that rotate. Usually there is Baby Ariel, Jesse, Woody, Buzz, Cars, Baby Doll with bottle, baseball bats, books, flash lights, and whatever else she can cram into bed with her. Today she didn’t want to take off her sun glasses and jewelry. Whatever as long as you sleep good!
We partied like rock stars on New Years Eve! First we got some Greek for dinner, then we headed over to the Thie’s. We played cards and made some noise…until shortly after 8pm, then it was home for bed! The girls went to my parents and we went back to our house with some friends to play cards.
Taylor was the big winner at Texas Hold ‘Em…
Happy New Year!!!
