grinch

I kinda felt a little like the Grinch this year. I had great intentions to craft, bake, clean....nope. I was lazy, and tired and pretty much did nothing but gain about 25 pounds! I guess I could pass it off as pregnancy weight, but that would be just plain lying!:) It was a fun, relaxing few weeks though! Anyway, it looks like santa came through once again this year! Emily is not a huge fan of the jolly man in red. When I tucked her into bed on Christmas Eve, she started shaking and crying!!! She said, "I really don't want that man to come into our house!" That little pumpkin kills me sometimes!

"Don't bug me mom, I am busy playing with emily's toys!"

(He had no interest in anything once the dolls and kitties came out!)

                                   A few new additions the family!
                                 Sam makes sure they feel very welcome by      smothering them with slobbery kisses a million times a day!

the BIG day!

Well, the day finally came...dance performance night! Emily has been so excited about this moment for 3 years! What could make it any better? Dancing the same night with her big sister, of course!
It is nights like this that make me so happy they have eachother! good job curly girls! love you!!!

this is how HE rolls....

Just after we got home form running some errands in the rain, Emily wanted me to take a picture of her and Sam together. Sure why not, right? Well, Sam was busy doing his own thing.....really.
