More December...

I really tried to upload more pictures than this, but I thought a little update would be better than no update, right...?

We made the coolest slide ever with the snow plow pile in our parking lot, we had so much fun on it! Check out Moira's no hands move above!

Madeline took the spread-all-arms-and-legs-out-to-hopefully-slow-me-down approach.

Our AWESOME snowman.

Here are a couple of pictures of when we were in Utah in November for my little sister's wedding (yeah, I'll post about that sometime too!) :) Madeline busy at the cash register at the Children's Museum.

CUTE Bensy and Moira enjoying some serious back tickling from Aunt Tifani/Mom! :)

Holiday Season

Josh is a wonderful husband and uploaded some pictures of Christmas for me, so thanks to him I can start updating the last month or so... We had a wonderful Christmas. Just stayed home and took it easy. The day after my mom, dad, and little sister Kali came out to visit us and stayed for THREE WHOLE DAYS!!! We had an absolute blast playing games, doing aerobics, watching movies, eating treats, and going to play at Malone's gym. We LOVE when they come out to party.

Some nice bonding time with grandma and Kali.

The day my family flew home we drove to Chicago to spend New Year's with Josh's sister and her family. His sister's family from Ohio came too. It was SO FUN!! Here we are at the Museum of Science and Industry experiencing a snow storm... not our first experience in one. :)

Madeline with her diaper bag on.

Can you tell what Moira is saying...? "Cheese!" On a side note, she has started talking like crazy lately. She says everything that we ask her to say and tells us what she wants, "I want co-lor!!"
"I want EAT!" "I want candy!" Funny, cute! She's just growing up to fast... NEXT WEEK is her first week in nursery!!! My baby!!!!!

Some more pictures at the museum with cousins. It took Madeline 10 minutes and much encouragement from Corrine to find the courage to touch the ball that had lightening in it.

Floating balls...

Outside Josh's sister's apartment in the heart of Chicago. :)

Moira loves to stand right by the windows and look down, down, down!!

Josh's sisters and I love doing aerobics when we are together and the little girls LOVE to join us!! Made me SO HAPPY!!

Yes, Moira climbs onto everything now!! Today she figured out how to stand herself up on the kitchen ledge to go to the treasures on top. (Yes, she fell a couple of times too, she doesn't mind though).

Aw sisters in Christmas dresses!

Madeline is the best snow angel maker ever!!

And Moira is the best snow man patter ever. :) I love this picture.

Aw, sisters!!

The highlight of Moira's Christmas was receiving this Zhu Zhu pet. I will try and upload a movie with her adorable reactions to it. :)

Our New Sunbeam!!!!!

I really will do my major catch up soon, but I just had to post some pictures of my cute new Sunbeam (and my Sunbeam wannabe!).

Here is my Sunbeam wannabe, but she gets to go to nursery in three weeks!! YAY MOIRA!!

Sunbeams is the name of the three/four year old primary class at church! Here is Madeline after her first day as a Sunbeam!!! She got a princess crown that says, "I am a Child of God".

She also got a beautiful scripture bag with a flower and butterflies on it, it is to put her brand new Book of Mormon in. She was BEYOND thrilled!! It is so fun to have her in there singing with me!! I LOVE IT!!!

Here are the snowmen we made at the library this week. Madeline's is on the left- she did it all by herself! And Moira's is on the right... I helped her here and there! :)

Everyday Madeline has been making a house underneath the table! She brings out toys, books, pillows, blankets, and play food. She has us sleep, eat, and spend lots of time with her in this house. Moira doesn't like it so much, because she always hits her head.

Early December

Madeline loved coloring every day of December. We would get on the computer and choose something Christmasy for her to color. Here are a few of our favorites.

So colorful!

This one came in "The Friend" (a church magazine for children).

Aw, cute Moira!

After playing in the snow. She is sad because her hands are so cold.

Here is Madeline just enjoying walking in a winter wonderland.

And more walking...

Moira tried to eat the snowflakes coming down, until they started getting in her eyes.

Aw... sisters!

Teamwork, making lunch...

Awww... sisters!

Our gingerbread making attempts. Awesome, huh!

The whole powdered sugar as snow idea didn't pan out too well.

Dad and the girls getting ready to decorate! :)
