Christmas Morning

 A girls best friend "Make-Up" All three girls got these. They love playing facials and make overs.

Finding all the hidden treasures in your stocking is the best. 

Madalyn and Morgan got the Magic Tree house book series 1-28. Santa must know how much they love these books. They are both top of their class in AR points.

Brooklyn was so funny Christmas morning, she had been talking for weeks about Santa and him bringing her make-up (that is all she asked for and princess) but she just sat down in front of her gifts and just looked over everything for a good 3 min. then she decided to touch them. She was just taking all of it in I guess.

Santa Came to Us

 Christmas Eve!! Garrett and I woke up before the girls to find that Santa had come to our house about 10:00pm. Wow, I can't wait to see the look on the kids faces when they wake the next morning.

A small part of heaven.......

 Brooklyn has become my true buddy during the day since it's just her and I as the rest are in school. I enjoy every part of my day with her, especially our nap time together. She is my sunshine. I love the way she says daily "I don't know", " I gotta tell you something" then she whispers in my ears something (most of the time you can't understand what she tells me). I say "I love you Brooklyn" then she says "I love you Mommy". Brooklyn loves to be bundled up with her blanket and have mom rock her to sleep.

 What a wonderful Christmas program the kids preformed. Singing and Dancing.

 Madalyn and Corrigan playing the Marimba together. They kids had to stay in recess to learn their parts.

The first snow of the year

 It started snowing Saturday night, we woke up Sunday morning to an inch of snow. The girls begged to get out the snow clothes and go make a snowman. It's a good thing I let them cause by the time we got home from church the snow was melted.

 Silly Natalie

 As you can see they used most of the snow in the yard to make the snowman. But each one was able to create one of their own. The kids are praying for a white Christmas but I don't think it's going to happen. It's a good thing we are going to the cabin after Christmas.

The Pop-In-Kins

 We have truly enjoyed having the elves back in our house. This year Christopher brought his younger sister Christina Marie to add double the fun. So we have 2 elves to find every morning, most of the time they hide together but some mornings they hide in different places. One morning we found that the other toys had the elves trapped in a jar and they were being attacked.

Morgan has really taken a liking to the magic of the elves. She writes them notes, color them pictures, even wrap them gifts she has made. I find her talking to the elves all the time. One afternoon while Morgan was doing homework Christina fell from her hiding spot;  Morgan lost it she was  "CRYING so HARD" (that's an under statement) so bad cause she thought christina had broke her leg or arm. And then since no one can touch her (cause she will lose her magic) how were we going to get her back up in the hiding spot. It was very cute to see her so concerned. It's a good thing we grabbed a dish towel and used that to touch her and put her back in the hiding spot. She was glad to get a note the next morning from Christina saying she was fine.
I love the Magic of Christmas through a child's eyes.

Lane McGary Party

 It was the first year we have had our own party, that means more fun. It also means more baking for us women.

 Cousins waiting to go Christmas caroling. It was the perfect night to go caroling, it was snowing and we got 1/2 inch for white snow.

 All 12 cousins

Sing your little hearts out girls.

 We also started the cousins gift exchange, it was fun for the kids to go shopping for each other and see what each one got. Grandma also had a fun game and the kids each ended up with a fun gift.

 Madie got a day spa with Karyn which she was so excited about. She was able to go a week later and had a blast. She enjoyed 3 hours of being spoiled. Her favorite was the facial and putting sparkly hair extensions in her hair.

 

Brooklyn enjoying Baby Brynlie. She is always wanting to hold her.

They are my life, so grateful for each one and the special spirit they bring to our family.
