Mid-bite! I am not sure it gets any better than this!

Mia loved all of the candy treats too! This morning we spent time at Delaney and Livi's decorating cookies for Santa. We came home with full tummies, reindeer food, a darling ornament for our trees, and a special treat for Santa! Wow.....we are very blessed to have such great friends to create such great Christmas memories!

Jingle Bells....

Ans showing her new scarf Nanny made! It is her favorite color and very soft and warm!


Mia and Nanny playing with a Jingle Bell! Mia is enjoying all of the Christmas music and activities!

Lobster Dinner!

Mommy and Daddy enjoyed a nice Lobster dinner. Thank you Grammy and PawPaw, what a great gift! Notice who was a little afraid and who wasn't! That is the personality of our girls!

Sweet Treats!

This week has been filled with lots of sugar! The girls have enjoyed each bite! Mia isn't as big of a fan as Ansley, but she hasn't turned down a cookie yet!

Pony Rides!

Ansley going for a ride on Peanut! She loves this part of the activities!

Mia's first pony ride! She wasn't too sure about it at first, but warmed up and enjoyed the ride!

Lights of the Ozarks!

A picture of the lights as we rode around the Fayetteville Square on our carriage ride!


Enjoying the view, the girls loved the lights!

Sweet Mia soaking it all in!

Thank you Grammy and PawPaw for all of the gifts. We are sending lots of love to you! The girls had fun opening presents a little early! Ho Ho Ho!

Grammy and PawPaw send Presents!

Mia loves her new books. She said, "books" and then took off so she could look at them by herself!


Our little homemaker! She loves all things play. This is a perfect gift for our big girl. Thank you! She has already ironed Lovies and new clothes. At this rate I may never have to iron again!

The perfect additions to her play kitchen. Now she can make a cake with her mixer and make up juice in her blender! I am sure we are in for many creations!


Tonight the girls got the okay to open presents a from Grammy and Paw Paw! They loved it!!!!
Thank you for all of their great gifts!

Mia's turn!

Candy!

She was walking around saying, "see"! See, she has escaped with candy!


Opened.... dig in!

Mia checking out her pile, while Ans was trying to get to the candy!

Inside this box is candy! The girls LOVED this box! Thank you Grammy and PawPaw for sending sweets!

Ansley's Biggest Fans!

Mia and daddy watching Ansley dance! Daddy greeted her at the end of her performance with flowers! She was so cute being a star!

When Ans spotted her sister from the stage she yelled, "Mia"! Mia truly is her sister's biggest fan!

Enjoying the show!

Finale

They finished the show by singing and dancing to Rudolph! This was a crowd pleaser! We love our little reindeer.

Cowgirl!

Showing all her moves!

Ansley's Dance Recital

Tonight Ansley had her first dance recital. We were so proud of her! They did four dances with four costume changes! She seemed to love performing and being on stage! She takes a dance class at school every Wednesday, and loves it! Enjoy the photos!

"GO"

Mia loves to "go"! Here she is in motion!


Trying to decide which direction she should move next!

Purse in hand and ready! Our sweet girl!

Gazing at the Christmas Tree!

Sweet Photo! Daddy was trying to negotiate a kiss, but she didn't want to mess up her lip gloss!

Family Jammie Day!

This is the second time this school year that our entire family has been sick at the same time! We all have a stomach bug, and poor Mia still has her cough and cold. It is so hard to see my babies not feeling well. It is even worse to not feel well enough to take care of them. Everyone, including Daddy is napping now. I think we are on the mend! We have spent the day resting, playing games and snuggling together! Just one more day this week.....I hope we can make it through!

Picnic Snack!

It was too cold for a snack outside after school, so the girls had a picnic on the kitchen floor!

Let it Snow!

This was our snowman this morning! This was such a fun surprise!

Magic Snowman!

So in 24 hours this snowman should be covered in snow! We can't wait to see it in the morning. Ansley asked, "Is it going to snow in our house?"


Thank you Grandpa and Kim for sending a box of treats. Here Ans is adding the "magic water" to make snow. What you don't see is Mia is occupied eating through plastic to get to a carmel whip! These girls love those things as much as I do! We hung their ornaments on their trees and read the Christmas story. We love and miss you!

Drippy!

Yes, Ansley is wiping Mia's nose. We were home from school today because Mia has an eye infection and a bad cold! Poor thing! As you can tell, she got lots of extra love and care!
