Happy New Year!

We went to "Countdown to Noon" at the Children's museum. The girls did a bunch of crafts, rode the merry-go-round and rung in Noon with pop rocks and confetti poppers. Then it was home for fondue, noise makers, glow sticks and watching "Happy New Year, Charlie Brown". The girls even played Jenga and roller skated in the kitchen. Good times!

Guess who lost a tooth on Christmas?

 Hannah was eating an apple while we we're playing Monopoly last night. When her lose tooth became really lose. By the time she began brushing her teeth to get ready for bed she realized her tooth brush could help her wiggle out her tooth! At the very end all it took was a yank. I was practically a double Christmas. When she woke up the Tooth Fairy left her a "Little Miss. Brainy" book, a note and a trail of glitter in her wake. What a  Merry Christmas we had with the Tooth Fairy's visit and all!

We Wish You A Merry Christmas!

Well, Christmas has come and gone in a happy blur. Hannah was up at 5:00am. Luckily, I heard the bell ring on her door and asked her to give me just a couple more minutes to get the soufflé in the oven. Then we woke up Hope and Chad. Hope hugged her Anywhere Chair once she saw and Hannah ran straight for Saige. Hannah found the pickle ornament in the tree this year. So she got to play Santa and pass out everyone 'a presents. The girls made out like bandits. They got the American Girls dolls and books they wanted. Hope named her Bitty Twins Jule and Barry. They each got their own Kindles and puppet blankets. Chad's Dad and Stepmom came by to spend the day with us. We had Honey baked ham with Chad's scalloped potatoes followed by Yule log cake and lots of Christmas cookies, candy and egg nog. We watched Chad's favorite "A Christmas Story". Chad and I taught the girls how to Monopoly. Hannah even lost a tooth! It such such a great Christmas.
