Look what I found coming down the stairs yesterday! Isn't she beautiful?
And just what could this lovely blue stuff be? Food coloring you guess? you'd be wrong! I guess those stamps are too delicious to resist! Brooklyn was over and kept saying Peyton had stamps on her, I thought she just meant that peyton had used stamps on herself, nope, that's not what she meant.
Okay, so it wasn't really a snow DAY, more like a snow hour, but hey, we'll take what we can get! I had just sat down to nurse Lexie, and Halli was just getting home from school and I hear Kevin say that it's snowing! Of course I thought he was lying, only to look out the window and see snowflakes! Halli & Brooklyn were running around in it, and Peyton ventured outside but was a little too cold. I gotta say, that's the last thing I thought I'd see yesterday! It didn't stick, but we enjoyed the freezing cold and the falling snow for the short time that we could!
Trying to catch snowflakes with her tongue...why is that what we automatically do? so cute!
Blake called to tell us it was snowing, so we had him run on down to play in it with Halli.
Peyton didn't love it outside, just too cold for her, but you can sorta see the snowflakes in her hair. The downfall to being blonde, it doesn't really stick out.
after it was all said and done, there was no other way to end it than with a big ol' mug of hot cocoa!Rules:Post rules on your blog. Answer the six "8" items.

With Halli being older and REALLY anticipating christmas this year, I decided to put together a little advent. She loves to read stories (or have them read to her, she's getting better at reading, but not quite ready to read full books), so I did a christmas story advent. I spent alot of time in November looking for cute christmas books that were also kinda cheap. I think we only had 2 to start with and needed 22 more, so they couldn't be too pricey. Luckily, I found some good deals, and wrapped all of them, added the date when they were to be read and put them under the tree. So far, the girls love it, and look forward to unwrapping a present every night. It also gives us some fun family time before bed, since normally just one of us reads the story to them in their beds. It's been fun, and is definitely an easy tradition that we'll be doing every year now!

Kevin and I got ourselves a little early christmas gift this year. After 6.5 years of marriage, we decided it was time to have a real bedroom set. None of this college type bedroom for us anymore! yeah, I am so excited! Now we just need some pretty bedding to go with it, not to mention some pictures on the wall, but one thing at a time, right?
