Grandma is spoiling us!!!

Thanks to Grandma, Maddie and Lauren were treated to pedicures and manicures. They got to choose what color to have their toes and fingers painted and they both loved it. Of course, who wouldn't love to be pampered a bit!!! They keep asking when they can go back and I told them not until mom gets one....it's my turn next :-)

Maddie chose pink and blue

Lauren chose pink with white flowers

What all good moms do-

The other day I put Lauren down for a nap in her bed. She loves her dolls and usually tries to sleep with 5 or 6 at a time. I told her she could only sleep with one and she chose tigger. I tucked her in and left. When I went back 30 minutes later to see if she was asleep, this is what I found. Nope, not Lauren sleeping with tigger but.....

Who is in Lauren's bed? That hair is way too dark to be Lauren.

Samantha doll and Tigger.....where is Lauren?

Of course, on the small bench with her panties hanging out.

When she woke up I asked her why she was sleeping

on the bench and said....."Its what all good moms do.

Sleep on benches so their babies are comfortable during

their naps." I just smiled and said ohhhhh, is

that right? Lauren was very proud of herself.

Christmas in Utah

Christmas in Utah was lots of fun this year! The kids got what they wanted and so did I.....a white Christmas. It was fun to have the snow and all the fun that goes along with it. On Christmas Eve, we went to my mom and dad's home where we met will all the cousins for a yummy dinner and to open stocking stuffers.

Christmas Eve right before bed time

Parker had only one stocking stuffer to open and
it took him all night. He sure had fun!!

Lauren showing off her new glasses....from Build A Bear

Maddie also wanted glasses so here they are. They are

a bit big but it is all I could find. I found it

appropriate that they are called "Attitude Glasses"

On Christmas morning, we eat a yummy breakfast

before we open presents. You can see Parker

enjoyed his chocolate peppermint patty

Christmas Morning

Parker loves his new helicopter. It is a great toy

that I totally recommend!! It is made by VTech

Lauren with her new princess beauty kit....the perfect gift

Maddie and her walkie talkies.....these

have proved to be lots of fun!!

Jeff working hard the day after Christmas.

Nope....not our snow blower. Our wonderful

neighbor let Jeff use it. Thanks Dennis M!!

And finally, New Year's Eve....we were all so tired we were asleep

before midnight. Maddie and Lauren chose to sleep together

and this is what I found when I went to cover them up.

Yes, Lauren's head is munched between Maddie's

knees and they were sleeping soundly.
