Better Late Than Never.....

I'm FINALLY posting pics from Christmas-time.

It was SUCH a special, fun time. Seeing Christmas through the girls' eyes was soooo much fun! It was a wonderful couple of days with great weather (as usual), tho a bit chilly on our annual walk. We are so blessed that we're able to have both of our families together.

Siena gazing lovingly @ her gingerbread house. (I'm SURE she wanted to eat the whole thing!)

Aunt Cherie teaching Siena how to "Shhhh".

The girls put out cookies & milk for Santa & a carrot for Rudolph

Having fun opening all their presents.

Siena so excited she got 'Dumbo'.

Christmas-time Fun!

So, Grandma bought the girls too-cute pajamas for Christmas. Take notice of how she put their names on them. Sara's is perfectly straight across, indicitive of how she plays & how her mind works. Siena's is all over the place, which is SO her!! lol Here's just a few pics of our photo session. Always trying to get the perfect pic!! (You'd think I'd have given up by now. hee hee)

Then, after me begging, bribbing, etc... they'd had enough!!!!! Think the one below is the perfect one?? LOL

This season has been so fun. Although they don't really "get" what's going on, they LOVE it! We've driven around at least 20 times looking at X-Mas lights. All I hear is "More lights, Mommy", "Santa Claus!!!!", "Candy Cans!!", etc... I can't wait til Christmas morning. :-)

We also went to pick out our Christmas tree. I just LOVE the smell of the trees. It puts me into the Christmas spirit immediately. So does all the Christmas music, which I love, except that it starts playing at Thanksgiving time!! Siena loves listening to it & singing along- see below video. Here's the pics of our tree-finding adventure.

"Hmmm. What tree do we like?" (Is that hair difference hysterical?)

She looks so cute, I just had to post.

Daddy & his girls

I just love their little voices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rpK4waMjz5Q

Memories.....

So, Sara was playing with her twin babies one night... feeding them, putting them to bed, etc... When I saw how she put them to bed, it brought back such memories!!

So proud of herself

Here's how she put the babies to bed & it reminded me SO much of them when they were 1st home from the hospital.

My little peanuts

Jeff & I went to his friend's amazing wedding up in L.A. & we had an entire 24 hours to ourselves!! :-)

Siena wanted to wear my hat when we were out shopping. This girl loves her "high heels", "pretty dresses" and anything "so cute". (I love it!!) I think she looks like a little Parisian girl. Adorable.

No More Paci's!!!!!!

We are sooooo proud of our sweet Siena. Thanks to the fantastic idea of TK, we decided it was time to get rid of Siena's pacifiers. Her idea had worked with her daughter & they told Siena about it so we thought... Let's Do It!! We told her that the Paci Fairy was coming to pick up her paci's and was going to bring them to babies that needed them. (We also said there might be a present in their place.) We put them all in a bag, put them on the doorstep & put her to bed. We did not think it would go well cuz she was pretty dependant on them to sleep, but we were wrong! She did soooo good! When we woke up in the morning, she ran to the front door and saw her bag with a present in it but the Paci's were gone! Inside was 'Beauty & the Beast' video. She was sooo excited.

Here's Daddy telling her how proud of her he is.

Here she is showing off her new movie.

Here's a couple more pics from the month.....

Sara, my little cleaner (and posing so cute!)

Happy Halloween!!

This was the best Halloween I can remember. I don't know how much the girls really understood but they know what candy means so they were excited!!! We went to the Wood's neighborhood party (where do we spend most of our holidays?!) and had a blast. Grandpa even joined us & we had so much fun watching them. Sara couldn't get to each door fast enough & the second after Siena would get her candy, she'd say "I want to go to nother house." It was hilarious. What a special night experiencing it through their eyes.

BFF's (The funny thing is that this costume was $22 when I bought it & I saw it went on sale so I returned the 1st one & bought it again for $4!!!)

Our Happy Family

Siena trying to figure out how she can get the entire bowl. hee hee

Papa & Sara probably taking more than the sign says

The girls with the Wood boys. (Of course Ty is looking at "Banana". So cute.)

This is so typical. Sara lining everything up.....

...and Siena dumping it all out (How cute & excited is she?)

Finally Fall

We've had the oddest weather than I can remember. It was the coolest summer we've had & even tho it was 110 degrees 2 weeks ago, it has now been chilly & raining for almost a week. I LOVE the summer but I also love it chilly, wearing jeans, sweaters & scarves. It's also been fun dressing the girls up. (When isn't it?!) They're talking soooo much more in the past month & it's been so fun. Some of it I can't understand and most of it, Jeff can't. I have to translate when I see the look of confusion on his face. My favorite line so far was from Siena last week. She said "Mommy, I go watch Buzz & Woody. You go make my dinner." Lol I couldn't help but crack up. And I thought Sara was Miss Bossy Britches!!

We've also been having so much fun at the Pumpkin Patch. Siena's obsessed & talks about it all the time. And they got to ride ponies for the 1st time. I thought they'd be scared but they both loved it!!

Siena looking Oh So Happy
