Christmas Eve Party

We spent Christmas Eve at my sister's house with all of her husband's family and ours. It was mostly "open presents for Breanne" time because she got so many. It was a bit ridiculous if you ask me, but what the heck, now we don't have to buy her near as many clothes! This was my chance, so I thought, to get my long awaited family picture because I had the girls dressed up in the pretty christmas dresses and Breanne even let me curl her hair (which was ADORABLE). Baby Katie had a serisous melt down while we were there. When we're around places that are loud and there's a lot going on she tends to freak out and the only way to get her to calm down is to take her to a quite place. So needless to say she spent the majority of the time in a spare bedroom sleeping. I felt so bad for the little girl. I still wanted to try and get a photo but couldn't bear to wake Kaitlyn up so I thought that if we left room for her that we could just photo shop her in later. Come to find out, I don't know how to do that. Here's what we got anyway.

Winter Wonderland!

We did it. We went out and played in the snow this morning and Breanne had a blast. She just liked running around in it and throwing snowballs at Cameron and me. Baby Katie lasted a little while but she soon fell alseep so she headed into the house. Which was okay for me because then I could help build our snow "people". It's a woman on one side and a man on the other. We didn't do this on purpose but Cameron was nice enough to point out that the snowman looked well endowed on his back. I don't think you can tell this from the picture I took so just take my word for it. She was pretty well endowed...ooops.
It was fun to be out there running around (usually from Cameron trying to hit me with snowballs). Here's a video to prove that at times I was in serious danger!
We had a lot of fun together. It's days like today that make me glad that Cameron isn't currently working. We have a lot more fun when he's around to harass us :)
Kaitlyn is now able to sit in the high chair! Oh man! This is so great because now I don't have to hold her and try to make dinner at the same time. I really can't wait until she can sit up on her own. I know I say this now and before I know it she'll be crawling and getting into things, but I think she'll be so much happier when she can. I'll regret it later...I know Maggie....I know :)

What's so Attractive about Rain Boots? I'll Show Ya...

Breanne had just gotten out of the bathtub and just HAD to put on her rain boots. i don't know why kids love rain boots so much, but they do. When we found them at the store she wanted to wear them before we bought them. Nana, being a sucker, let her. We almost forgot to pay for them as we left.We decorated the Christmas tree, FINALLY. It's been up for a while, but we haven't found the time to put anything on it. Breanne was being a poop and wouldn't let me get a good picture of her in front of it so I told her to be a ballarina...that seemed to work.

I have negelected to put up pictures of Kaitlyn in the last few posts so I took some pictures of her in her cute little tights. They have snowflakes on them and the feet look like she's wearing ballet slippers. I just love em! Her Auntie May-may bought them for her. Only a buck at target! Can you believe that? I love the dollar section at target. I think that's where I got all the girls stocking stuffers.

Hope all of you who are traveling do so in safety. I don't know about you guys but we've gotten a little bit of snow here and it hasn't been above freezing for a few days now. Chilly! Have a fun holiday season and enjoy your time off of school for those of you who are still fighting the good fight :)
