A visit with Santa

Kira was so excited to see Santa that she ran right over and gave him a hug.




Kit was not as happy to sit with Santa.
I had to hold her hand and she just kept saying "down, down".
Kira was so excited though and loved every minute. She was just
shaking with excitement. She didn't tell Santa what she wanted
but we assured her that he knew just what she wanted.

Kit is 19 Months.

This is what morning looks like in our house.

A tired girl.

Make that two tired girls.

The girls getting ready for bed....I think Kira got confused.

Happy Girl.

Not so happy.

Kit trying to eat the tree.

Kit watching her favorite cartoon....Mickey Mouse.

Kit loves sitting by the tree.

You have to love watching how excited a kid gets about a decorated tree.

Kit is 19 months now! She is putting two and three word sentences together now. It is so fun to listen to her. She also sings by herself in her crib...we love that. It is so cute! She also is loving all the Christmas decorations and we can't wait to see their faces on Christmas.

Kira is 3 years and 3 months.

Kira mixing up her Holidays.

The girlies happy sitting by the tree.

My happy girl.

Kira is 3 years and 3 months! She is so excited for Christmas and asks everyday if Christmas is tomorrow. She is loving every bit of getting ready for Christmas. She is still such a big helper only now she actually helps! It is very exciting :)

Christmas pictures.

Christmas picture time!

Kit going in for a kiss.

We are going to have our hands full when they hit the teen years!

Kit squints every time she says "cheese" so sorry you can't see her eyes in any of these pictures.

I couldn't get Chewy to sit with the girls for a picture so this is his one Christmas picture.

Kira's turn for pictures.

I have never, and I mean NEVER had such a hard time taking Christmas pictures before. I couldn't take Kit's until after lunch because she was just in an emotional uproar all morning and after lunch I couldn't get Kira to sit for anything so there are very few good pictures of them together since there was a window of about five minutes they both wanted to do this. Thankfully we got a couple we like so enjoy!

First bit of winter fun.

Getting ready to head out.

The beginning of their snowman.

Kira hit Kit in the face with a snowball :(

The joy of eating snow.

Happy girl.

Adding the arms, straight from Michigan. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Hopper!

All done!

Shoveling time!

Kit's turn.

Kira giving her snowman a hug.

A little cuddle time in the snow.

So we got a little snow today. I was not expecting it to add up like this but it was a lot of fun to take the girls out to play. They loved every minute of it.
