Trimming the Tree

Isn't that what they call it? The girls were so excited to get to decorate for Christmas.. I go all out, I have a TON of decorations, which I basically got from my mom plus my own. The girls felt like they were in "christmas-land" they kept saying. I made hot cocoa and we turned on Christmas music. I LOVE Christmas :)

Thanksgiving 2010!!

We had a great Thanksgiving day. We celebrated this year at Marc & Beccas house. It was a perfect day, good food, funny kids, my parents and of course the Black Friday Ads ;) As with all past Thanksgivings, I can't take any credit for any of the food.. maybe I should learn how to cook something besides rice and pasta? HAHA. Maybe next year!

Decorating

I love to decorate! I put together a collage of items I really would like to have for the girls room... I think it will look really good :)

Happy Thanksgiving!

... Well almost, it will be here in a couple hours.. I have a very full day ahead of me so I thought I would post now! Hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving filled with lots of food, family, food, friends, and oh yeah, FOOD! ;)

Puzzle!

Velvet puzzle from the target dollar aisle = big hit with Claire and Chrissy. They are already getting super excited about Christmas, so they absolutely LOVED the santa puzzle:)

Orange hair...

Yep. At the school's fall carnival the girls found a booth that was spraying color on the kids hair. So naturally both Claire and Chrissy want to do this too, BUT, they only had one ticket each left. I told Claire to ask the lady how many tickets it was and if it was one, they could do it. Of course I am thinking to myself, haha, it will be more than one ticket. Sure enough. it required 3 tickets. They were both a little bummed, but their attention quickly turned back to their Ice Cream :)

Well, not even 5 minutes later, Claire saw her teacher, and what does her teacher do? She gives Claire more tickets. Just enough that Claire AND Chrissy were both able to get their hair colored Orange. Oh well I suppose it was just meant to be that both girls would have Orange hair when we went to run errands that day :P

Tears of joy..

So, after much talking with Lisa, the girls will be staying to at least finish off the school year. I was thinking part of the problem was that Chrissy was getting bored. I was not super prepared for them, so I did not have anything for them to play with. I had planned on getting them a dollhouse for Christmas, but figured what the hell, why not get it now? So I did... Last night I got the dollhouse and put it in the car. It was dark out so I just covered it. Claire saw the box, and they guessed it was a dollhouse and I told them no and turned up the music. Well after they went to sleep I hid it in my room. Sure enough, after school when I picked them up they asked what happened to the box. (I suppose they were too tired to think about it this morning, being we were up til 10:15 doing homework :[ ) Anyway, while they were at school, I set up the whole house and the furniture. When they got home I got ready with my camera and called them into the room........ and this was THE REACTION. the most priceless reaction ever!!! I almost cried, I teared up but held back, I dont think the girls would understand....

Apparantly Sugar was very excited as well......!
