Christmas Parties

Today I really needed to be in two places at one time.  Hayden and Gracie's parties were at the same time.  I went to Gracie's first because Hayden is good without me.  Even though I really did want to be at both.  When we got done with Gracie's, we went to Hayden's party.  Gracie and Colton played in Mimi's office while I went to the end of Hayden's party.  My sweet girl was perfectly fine with me coming in at the end of the party.  She got up and gave me a big ole hug.  It was a fun day for Colton, he made all kinds of new friends.  He really enjoyed himself, this is the first time I let him run around instead of fighting with the stroller.  It was a good day!  Glad we are out for the holidays.  Let the countdown to Christmas begin!

The girls are so excited about Santa and all the presents that are wrapped under our tree.  They can hardly wait.  I remember being like that too. 

First Wreck

Well, Hayden had her first bicycle wreck this past weekend.  She was at Mimi and Pop's house going super fast down the driveway and lost control of the bike.   She really skinned up her face and had a cut that required a few butterfly stiches, a busted lip and she really, really, really hurt her pride.  She was more embarrassed than in pain!  Mimi knew exactly what to do and we all met Aunt Kim at her office for her to check her out and fix her up.  She was such a big girl and is fine now.  She was embarassed to go to school because of the way her face looks, so I walked her in and everyone in her class gave her a hug and told her that they were sorry she was hurt.  She had a good day and was ready to go back today.  I love my sweet girl so much and I am so proud of her!

I also got Hayden's ITBS scores back yesterday and it is confirmed she is very intelligent.  She scored the best in Language and Math.  She is so smart and doing such a great job.  Aim high and reach for those stars baby girl!  You will always be our shining star!  We love you to the moon and back!!!!

Oh my Gosh!

Chipper is still entertaining our babies!  He can make messes and all sorts of stuff.  He did have to leave them a letter the other night to remind them of a few things.

It said:

Hayden remember to listen and do as your told.

Gracie do not cut up our Christmas cards that we recieve in the mail(yes she really did do this to the first two we got)

Colton remember to listen and no hitting!

This morning Chipper caught a big fish!  When Gracie saw it she said " Oh my GOSH, that fish has a mush mash(mustache)! That is one word that she cannot say correctly yet! I couldn't stop laughing.  The fish doesn't have a mustache but I guess at 4 years old it looks that way!!!

Chipper and The Christmas Program



Chipper on his way to see Santa and all of his friends waiting patiently on the door frame for their turn!



Chipper has it out for Daddy.  He stole his stocking and replaced them with Santa's underwear!

He colored all of their noses red! However, washable markers are not always real washable!  Hayden said "I am definitely not going to school like this".

Last night was the Chirstmas program at GWA.  Hayden was from Japan.  Isn't she lovely?  The first graders only sang but she sang her very best!  She is such a sweet, sweet girl!

Colton and Gracie wanted to take a picture with her before we left.  Too bad my flash made it look fuzzy because it was such a sweet picture. 

Santa Pictures and Videos

Last Saturday we saw Santa!  This year Gracie was so excited, and I was relieved.  Santa is so loving, he just hugs and kisses on them.  He told us that we were so very blessed and boy was he right.  Hayden wants an i touch and American Girl Doll desk, Gracie wants an American Girl doll bed and pretend kitty and Lalaloopsy doll, and Colton wants tools and tractors.  I am pretty sure that they will get what is on their list. 

Last night they all 3 got their email from Santa.  Hayden and Gracie's face was priceless and they answer his questions and nod their head.  Hayden and Gracie made the good list and they were so excited.  However, Little Colt Man made the nice and naughty list.  You should have seen Hayden and Gracie's faces when they heard that.  It was so funny!  Hayden knew he would be on the naughty list!  I love making all of these memories for them! 

These pictures are adorable and now I have to figure out Christmas cards, so much to do and so little time to get it all done.  This is by far the best Santa ever. 

Hayden's Christmas Tree Presentation

Hayden got a beautiful tree from her Seniors last Friday.  She has two wonderful Seniors that care a lot about her.  Madison is so sweet and has really spent a lot of time with Hayden.  Sue Anna is very outgoing and encourages Hayden to not be so shy.  She is a very lucky little girl and they are lucky Seniors too.  Anyone that gets to know Hayden is a lucky person because she is such a special little girl.  The first picture is now Gracie's tree in their room.  Then the next one is my tree in the living room, the girls had so much fun helping me decorate it. 

 

Pictures of Chipper

Finally, here are the pictures of our Elf, Chipper!  I know that everyone has been very anxious to see the them!  The girls love Chipper and it is so exciting watching their faces every morning.
