Christmas day

OK.... 3 am, 3:30 am, 4:00 am... GO BACK TO SLEEP!!!! Finally scrooge mommy let us all get out of bed at 9:00 am. :) Actually, everyone was still sleeping and woke up on their own. (Ella was the main culprit who was up all night) *smile*

Santa brought the girls a Dora tent, a Dora kitchenette with all of the foods, utencils, pots and pans, etc. He also loaded up their stockings with fun stuff like new toothbrushes and toothpaste. Fun, fun! Santa wants to make sure that the girls have good oral hygene after eating Christmas goodies. :)

A lazy day spent in our jammies... Nebraska is having a big snow storm, so hopefully we will get to see Tyler in 3 days if planes are flying.

Like Ella told me today "This is a good Kim-says, Happy Holidays mommy"

"Happy Holidays, Ella? Where did you learn that?"

"That is what Moose & Zee says"

"Oh OK Ella, Happy Holidays baby girl"

I love my girls... xoxo

Delanie

This post is dedicated to our friend Delanie, who passed away today due to complications from smoke inhalation in an early morning fire at her mom's house. At the time of this post her mom is still in serious condition. Delanie was 10 years old, (10/99 - 12/09) and a delight to be around. Polite, considerate, and very loving and playful with our girls. The back yard gang will never be the same and she will be greatly missed. Our hearts and prayers go out to her grandparents, Liz and Craig, her father and to her mother as she recovers in the hospital as well.

She's 3!

What a lovely 3rd birthday Ella had. Aunt Rachel came in for it and we just had a few friends over to celebrate. The Barna's & Kendall and Lisa Lipsky are our neighbors on each side of us, Rebecca and Trinia Hill and her two kids, Regan and Johnathan and that was it. We just had a cake and ice cream celebration before nap. Very low key this year. Ella really likes Dora and Diego right now, she leans more toward Diego while Maya is more a Dora fan, so that is what we got on her cake. The girls dressed alike in matching New York Christmas shirts that Aunt Rachel brought. Too cute.

Ella had fun opening all of her gifts. She got her 1st Barbie doll from Aunt Rachel, which is a very big deal and she got a battery operated jeep that is a lot of fun too. The weather today was so nice we were able to get out and try out our new glove and ball, ride the jeep and have a few races.

3 days until my baby girl is 3!

Ella turns 3... the countdown begins!
