Happy Tax Refund Day!

Yay! One my very favorite parts of having kids is all the tax money we get back! Okay, so I am kidding- but it is a nice little perk ;0).

Here is one of the things we used our refund for:

Finally. . . a place to sit down. Believe it or not, we have not had any furniture for the entire year that we have been here in Twin. Crazy!

We also got a king sized bed! Wahoo!

Hope your tax refund day was as much fun as ours!

Picture Time!

I snapped a few pics of the girlies last weekend and thought I would share. My photography skills seem to be improving slightly. ;0)

Pop on over to my sewing blog and enter my giveaway for one of these fun skirts.

Okay, that's all. Have a happy Friday!

Happy Birthday, Hubby!

We love you so much! Thank you for all that you do for us.

Love, Your Girls

Christmas

Ummm, yes, I do know that it is the middle of January. But here it is. Better late than never, right?

My children are lucky enough to have THREE Santas in their life-- Grandma and Grandpa May, Grandma and Grandpa Payzant, and of course, the real one. ;0) And boy, my girls must have been REALLY good this year because they scored!

The big gift was a cute kitchen that Grandpa May added to by making a refrigerator. So fun! The girls love it (of course!).

Grandma and Grandpa Payzant got the girlies clothing to go sledding and play in the snow with (among MANY other things!). I think we used most of it the very next day!

There were so many other fun gifts! We love all of them! Thank you all so much! Here is the thank you note the girls made for all of you:

(Kira told me that they didn't have a gray marker, so Grandpa's hair just had to be blue. But hey, it's better than pink, right Brooke?)

A Christmas Visit

My mom and dad and sisters and nephew (and the newest niece/nephew, inside it's mommy's tummy!) all came to visit a few days before Christmas. It was a quick trip and a little crazy, but we all had fun-- especially the girlies! We ate yummy food, shopped for toys and clothes and more toys, decorated a Christmas tree, went swimming, saw 'The Princess and the Frog' and just generally played hard. Of course I didn't take any pictures (you would think I would be getting better at that!), but thankfully my family took a couple.

Thanks, Fam for the fun time and many gifts! We love you!

Ho, ho, ho!

Christmas Tree Decorating

(If any of you are looking for the Thanksgiving post-- there isn't one. Nothing to tell. Hubby was sick. I made my first turkey. NO ONE ate it. The end.)

For FHE tonight, the we decorated the Christmas tree and talked about the meaning of all things Christmas-y.

Kendi LOVES the tree, but didn't quite get the hang of putting things ON the tree. She kept taking them off and bringing them back to me, almost as fast the big girls were putting them on. Thankfully she can't reach the top of the tree. ;0) (And yes, I do realize that my daughter's gut is hanging out of her clothing. . . I can't keep her pants up to save myself! By evening I don't even try anymore. . .)

Merry Christmas!
