"Santa!"

We missed the Caldwell tree lighting last night where we take the kids to see Santa.  I was thinking it was next weekend.  So we took the kids over to the Christmas show today.

Ryleigh was going to sit on Mrs. Claus's lap but when they got up there, Mrs. Claus motioned for both girls to sit on Santa's lap.

Bailey ran right up with her arms out and shouted, "Santa!"

They told Santa what they wanted and Santa reminded them to listen to their mom.  Smart Santa!

Bentley was very curious as to who this lady was that was holding him.

A Whole Different World

Bentley got to sit up in the shopping cart last night.  He loved being a big kid!

Why is This Not Working?

Bentley thinks this is the way to get moving.  It never works but it sure is funny to watch.  He gets pretty mad after awhile.  He reminds me of a penguin sliding on their belly.

When he is on his back he puts his feet and hands on the floor and scoots himself backwards.  I think that is what he is trying to do but it doesn't work the same on your belly.

Snow!

We had our first snow way early this year.  The girls were so excited when they woke up and saw it.  It snowed all day.  As soon as we got home from Auntie's, they had to go out and play.  First item of business...

snow angels! 

Then we had to pull out the sleds to try them out on the driveway. 

Bailey was throwing the snow up in the air over and over. 

She eventually tried out the sled too 

It snowed all night which resulted in a snow day for me!  We headed to the favorite snow hill park for some sledding fun.  Bailey didn't last very long so I took her and Bentley to the car while Ryleigh and Dad continued to play. 

Yum!

Both of my girls, since they were little, have loved eating their apples whole.  They often will go pull one out of the fridge and start chowing down.  They never ask for them to be cut up.

This is what happens...

when Daddy takes me to Auntie's with a bare head and toes when it is snowing outside.  She puts me in mismatched pink socks and sends me home with a new hat!

Bay's New Hair Cut

She has needed a hair cut for awhile now but I wanted to wait until after Halloween because I wanted to be able to put braids in her hair for her Anna costume.  I couldn't stand it anymore so we had it cut when we were in Utah last weekend.  I love how it turned out!
