Lily and Kate decorate the house while I'm sleeping...oh, no!

Since we had no furniture in our living room in the new house, I was not in a hurry to decorate for Christmas so the boxes of trinkets sat in boxes in the living room, until....
the girls decided to surprise me one morning before I woke up and pulled out all the Christmas decorations/ornaments. They decorated the tree (with the ornaments that they didn't break). They also added a snow effect with artificial snow from our snow village. The snow effect was all over the living room. You can see it in this close-up of the busy little ladies topping the refrigerator box with snow.











Here is the bird's eye view of my "decorated" tree and living room. They were so excited to show me how they had helped! Oh, so much to clean.

Holiday festivities!

Here we are getting ready for Christmas in our new house with the annual gingerbread decorating. I was so tired this day. I think I recall asking Phil to take a photo so the kids could remember that I was a good mom even though I was blowing it left and right.

Sweet little Christmas party at Mother's Day Out.

Best friends...

...and more best friends! The invisible Mrs. Angel and Mrs. Dareitha...
