Shots 12-31-07

Today she got shots. She was a little trooper. Lauren hasn't really had any reactions to any of them. THANK GOODNESS!

Asleep 12-26-07

Lauren is just tuckered out! She doesn't normally just fall asleep. The sad thing is that I tried to get her asleep for about a half hour. She kept fighting it so I just put her down and said that I would try again later. Well- this is what I found when I came back a few minutes later. She was dead out!

Christmas Day 12-25-07

The girls enjoyed all the toys and clothes they got for Christmas. On Christmas Eve we e-mailed Santa and he e-mailed them back. We also tracked Santa as he traveled the world. The girls had to go to bed when Santa hit Florida. Brianna wanted us to wake her up when he got closer. We told her that we couldn't because we had to be in bed so he would come. We had a lot of fun this year with Santa. The girls left Santa some cookies and carrots for the reindeer. Paige had to make sure that the carrots were good enough for the reindeer so she bit some off to taste it. Brianna had Santa sign a note that was left for him saying that he got the cookies. She was very happy that he signed it!!

It has been a VERY LONG MORNING!
We had a nice dinner and the kids loved using the Christmas china.
Christmas day was very laid back. We all had fun and enjoyed the time together. This year however the girls did get a tad grumpy with one another. I could have done without that!

Christmas Eve 12-24-07

They got their Christmas Eve present. This year the older two got warm robes. They enjoy them especially Bri.

Gingerbread House 12-22-07

Grandma Nielson gave us a kit to put together a gingerbread house. Here it is! Each girl had their own side. I had a hard time just letting them do it themselves but knew that they would have fun doing it themselves and every time they looked at it they could be proud of what they did. After Christmas they did eat most of the candy off of it. Gross HUH!

Christmas Tree 12-02-07

We put up our tree. The girls enjoy hearing where we got most of the ornaments.

Friend Party 12-01-07

She had friends over and we had a fun time. They learned how to hula, played limbo which ended up being the best game of the party, we also made coconuts out of melted chocolate and then you dip a water balloon in the chocolate and sprinkle coconut on the outside. Then let the chocolate cool and then fill with ice cream. The kids had fun and Bri loved having her friends come and party with her.
