Christmas

Meet Happy. He is our house elf.

He made all the magic happen this year.

Stella & her new "Emo" panties
A coloring thing that makes music
The baby that never stops giggling LIP GLOSS in a PURSE = Every 4 year old girls DREAM

Her letter to Santa had a picture of a teddy bear and lip gloss
The excitement before heading downstairs

This photo says it all . . ."Lame Mom, I got a slinky & they got their own video games"

At the end of the day the girls were beyond tired, but they were happy.

We had a good day with family and are grateful for every second of it!

CHANGE

Stella got GLASSES!

And she acutally is pretty good about wearing them. When she takes them off I say "Stella, I can't see you, put your glasses on" And then she giggles and we put them back on.

We sold our HOME and let me just tell you that PACKING blows!!

It was a bitter-sweet GOODBYE, but we are excited for a NEW adventure!

We will miss our MOUNTAIN home, the beautiful trails, the good friends & the moose tracks. But we decided that we wanted to teach our children that we do not need to rely on CARS! Less driving . . . more biking & walking! For now, we are staying with my parents, until our next home is bought & fixed up!


The girls are excited about the snow! Stella met her first snowman and she sqealed with DELIGHT!
