New Years Eve!

We spent the day and evening home, just playing and having a good time! Check this girl's hair out - love it! She is a hot mess when she wakes up!

 

After nap, I always send her in to wake up Noah! He is not always very receptive to it!

 

 

 

...but he cheers up fast! This is what he spent his Target gift card from Maw & Paw Nic! He was SO excited! 

 

Party time!  

 

   

 

I just love this picture! hahaha!

 

It was a bit of a rough night...Allie & I were both up with belly aches but still a good day and evening! We are looking forward to 2013!

 

Snow Day #2

Noah was super excited to get out in the snow again today! Him and daddy had a blast!

 

 

Snow Time!

We were very excited about the snow! We headed over to MawMaw & PawPaw's to sled and play with Friyana before they headed back to CA. The kiddos had a blast!

 

 

 

 

 

Noah would not keep his gloves on! I don't know how his hands were freezing!!!

 

 

 

 

Is Allie in there?? ha!

We somehow found her missing white glove in the white snow!

The Aftermath of Presents!

I love the day after Christmas! I absolutely love it! I hated that Terry had to work because it's always such a fun day - a day to take everything out of packages, to make a whole new mess, to put batteries in a million things and just play, play, play! I take this picture after Christmas every year! My kids are so spoiled blessed!

 

 

 

 Allie LOVES her mirror! She loves to look at herself and kiss herself! Oh what we might be in for! ha! ;)

Christmas at MiMi & Pa's!

Last stop of the Christmas train was Mimi & Pa's house! Noah went straight into opening gifts! I didn't even see half of them but I know some of his favorites were a pirate ship and a helicopter. Allie got her first gun - a PINK gun! I was excited! A wonderful evening to end Christmas! We were very exhausted but very thankful for a wonderful Christmas season!

 

 

 

She looks like SUCH a big girl in this picture!

 

 

 

Christmas at MawMaw & PawPaws!

We headed to MawMaw & PawPaws for some more Christmas fun! It's always complete chaos in this house with everyone together! We sure missed Derek, Khirstin & Braeden this year though! I hope some year soon we are all back together.

 

 

Jake kept doing this everytime I tried to take his pic - stinker!

 

I love this!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noah and Allie both gots lots of goodies! Noah got Flo's V8 cafe, a helicopter, Cars play sets, Cars sleeping bag and much more! Allie got new shoes, a new purse, Jingle Dog, and much more! 

 

 

Hahahaha! Andrea & Mike got this for him! Oh my word! 

 

 

 

 

We did a little re-gifting...Dad thought it was pretty funny!

Christmas Morning!

Christmas morning was finally here!!! Allie was up early to nurse, we both fell back asleep and I later woke up to her playing peek-a-boo with the covers! Shortly after, we got Daddy up and headed in to wake up Noah! Noah was being a sleepyhead, so we sent Allie in to wake him up! He loves when his little sister ends up on top of him in bed, smashing his head, pulling his hair, etc! hehe! But he quickly remembered it was Christmas! He first found a present under his tree! Score! Then we headed to Allie's room and sure enough she had one under her tree! Yay! Then to the living room - boy, did Santa deliver!!! He was SO excited!!! He found lots of present, found eaten cookies and a letter from Santa! Noah got lots of Cars, a Cars storage seat, a Cars throw, Toy Story characters, Angry Birds hooded towel, Leap Frog Scribble & Write, and much more! Allie got a new baby, baby stroller and other baby stuff, Voilet, an interactive mirror/make-up set, cell phone and much more! The two of them also got a Jeep Powerwheel! 

 

After presents, we sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and Uncle Rusty, ate breakfast, and played! What a wonderful morning! I hope to always remember everything about it...my morning game of peek-a-boo, Noah's excitement about everything, Allie constantly was trying to eat paper, her love of her light up wand, the mess, the chaos, Noah singing Happy Birthday so sweetly, how Noah takes off in the powerwheel so fast that Allie is thrown back (ha!), and how excited Noah was to see that Santa left him a Christmas tree cookie just like he did last year! I love this day, this time of year, this life.

Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus & Uncle Rusty!

 

 

After Allie's morning nap, it was time to get dressed to leave. I used hair spray on her hair for the first time! Oh my word!
