Fun at Grandma's . . . .In The Bathroom,

Lane is potty trained and when # 2 comes along he's just like a guy and sits on the potty and reads books. Well, Gracie thought she had to poop too and followed Lane's lead of reading books.  It was just a comical site and we had to get a picture. I'm sure they'll kill us later for taking this picture.

Happy 1st Birthday Kade!

Kade loves Mickey Mouse, so that was the birthday theme.

We all had little Mickey hats to wear. They were very cute and the kids thought they were funny.

Gracie loved the "birday cake". We all had a laugh cause Amanda made a Mickey Mouse cake, which of course has black ears. Everyone who ate the black frosting got black lips and teeth. It was funny.

Booyah Santa!

 

Rarely is Gracie speechless, but when she seen Santa she entered shy mode.  She would only wave hi and liked jingling his jingle bells. (I know what your thinking; quit being disgusting). Evie had no problem sitting on Santa's lap and got her poor hand tangled in his big old beard. Only when we were leaving did Gracie open her mouth telling Santa "Bye" and gave him a fist bump and said, "Booyah". She got a pencil from Santa and enjoyed a sugar cookie. See you next year Santa!

Snow Fun!

Gracie had been begging to go out and play in the snow. It finally warmed up a little and Hoff took her out to play. They rode on the sled for a little while and then Hoff dug her a tunnel through one of the big drifts of snow by our house.  The mere 20 minutes she was out there wasn't near enough, but I think her hands and cheeks had had enough.  I think Gracie would honostly freeze to death before she came in the house. Next time she's begging to go outside, I'm going to try Maria's awesome idea and bring the snow into her in the bathtub.

Evie's Baptism

On December 6th, we got little Evie baptized. Gracie and Evie were surprisingly very good during the service. Clint and Colleen were the sponsors for Miss Evie. The good Lord was already watching over little Evie cause that morning Gracie decided to feed Evie Coco Puffs and she did choke on it. I gave her the old whap on the back and out popped 1 puff. Hopefully that was our one and only choking experience.

Let's Paint Mommy

Gracie loves to paint. . . . . .and obviously she loves to eat it too.  I leave the room for one minute to change Evie and I returned to find her painting her fingernails with the water paints.  Her back was to me and I went to get a wash cloth and when I turned to face her I seen the mess on her face. Oh yes, it was in her mouth also. Thank goodness its non toxic!
