Our Life Lately

... or the last two months. I'll try to get better about updating more! 

Chippy S brought the kids an early present- their own elf to hide!

I usually get out of the car to pick up Lily, but sometimes it's nice to just sit in the car lane and drink some Starbucks. 

Chippy S playing Candy Land with a Lego guy, Elsa from Frozen and Buzz

Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate 

first time not going to a tree farm to pick our Christmas tree- we were late getting it this year and it was COLD outside and who would have thought Home Depot had decent trees for cheap. 


He ate our last donut!

Bath night!

Watching Santa feed his reindeer on the computer- they love this!

The best little shopper 

Grace filled up her star chart and earned this Ninja Turtle ornament! 

Gabe having a tea party 

Gabe throwing a fit because I wouldn't let him play in the snow after lunch. 1- Naptime was minutes away 2- I knew the girls would only be out there for a few minutes 3- I DID NOT want to go outside with them 

Watching from the door is so much nicer :) 

Gabe playing with Christmas rice and noodles 

Gracie

Lillian 

See? I do let him outside to play in the snow! 

The girls went to a super cute and fun mermaid party for a friend in the neighborhood 

Decorating cookies at Liz's house

mmm Elf kisses

Gingerbread House

Cheering on the Browns (they lost) 

Chippy S brought the girls Elf bows 



I have a love/hate relationship with Legos 

Came home from school and first thing she does is read her new library book!


"Look Mommy! We spelled Elf!" 

painting the doll beds 


staying in our p.j.'s and enjoying doing nothing but playing 

Gabe's Zoolander face while eating pizza 

at the mall waiting to see Santa

Wishing Gabe would have smiled but I'll take it! 

my kids like sprinkles 

Little Baker

destroying crayons so we could melt them ...

and make ornaments 

Lily made this- it's her and Chippy S

Little Man

Goodbye Chippy S!
See ya next year!

rest stop in Indiana waiting for our food...

Lily loves listening to her music- Gabe likes cuddling 

Lily and Anna from Frozen 

Gracie likes her music too!

Lily has been saving all her stars she earned for Frosty! 

Snow Day fun making Olaf from Frozen 

Gabe's face while eating the frozen berries from Costco 

Cappuccino and Reese's Trees to get me through my day

They are so lucky to have each other 

Two seconds after we get home from Ohio- they run upstairs to change into dress up clothes!

Watching the movie Planes on a cold,, snowy day 

Back to the Preschool grind 

Found this super cute Premie outfit on clearance for Gabe's doll- under $5 for the hat, outfit and a bib!
Confession: I went back to Target the next day to get another outfit! 


my nap buddy 

Lily is selling Girl Scout cookies for the first time! 

Grace had Show and Tell and chose to take her Elsa doll 

Gabe requested an ABC dvd to watch (his first time asking for something to watch on tv).

High of 37 degrees- means we can take a bike ride
(Note: it wasn't the easiest bike ride due to some people not shoveling the side walk. C'mon people!)
