December Pictures 2009

Merry Christmas! Here are just a few pictures taken of our little munchkins!

Dan taking the girls on their New Christmas Eve Daddy -Daughter's date!

Big girls don't cry, but my baby looks way to cute when she does!

One day over Christmas break was spent as our "Polar Express Day" The girls got to wear the PJ's all day, make a train gingerbread, watch the movie "Polar Express" , and drink Hot Coco. Seriously it was the best day ever! Madeleine took the liberty to set the girls cushions up as a train. She was their Conductor and the were ready and ALL ABOARD the Polar Express!!!

Snow was here and the girls spent quite sometime outside playing in it. Madeleine could spend hours on end but our Lizzy would play and about after 1/2 hour would come in and be completely over the snow!

Madie took the responsibility upon herself to teach Elisabeth a thing or two about the snow. She taught her how to make Snow angels, making snowmen, throwing snowballs, and sledding down the hill that Dan created for them in the backyard.

I love this picture of Victoria standing on the window ledge staring at Dan and the girls with envy. I had Dan throw a snowball at the window where she was standing, and BOY did it scare her when it smacked against the window. It was hilarious... but obviously she did not think so. Oh I love our little TT!!!

Madeleine decided to play school with the girls. I love her teachers desk and picture that is on it.

I know it is completely ghetto but here is the only family Christmas picture we got. But we sure do have some cute little girlie's, huh?

We made about 13 dozen cookies this year to take around to our friends and neighbors. Thanks to Grandma Arrhenius...the girls were able to wear their trusty aprons to help out.

I love these little girlie's! It is so much fun to see them play together. The giggles, laughs, and playing is endless!

Here is Dan with his favorite new baby boy...the Snow Blower. Seriously I am so grateful for it, our backs have been saved many times this year so far.

Happy 31st Birthday to our main Squeeze. The girls painted little frames for him and we surprised him with a Wii. He was sooooo excited.

Madeleine's Holiday party was a lot of fun. I made a "snowman" out of an empty cardboard diaper box. It had a big mouth cut out for the kids to throw "snow balls" through. So...cute!

Pictures at Elisabeth's "Preschool Holiday Party". I wanted to yell out, "Merry Christmas" the entire time, but I guess this is how public school roll these days. I was in charge of the craft

and can I just tell you just how frustrating it was to figure out a craft that had no Christmas symbolism. I stuck to a Winter Candy cane mouse theme. Simple but cute.

You can imagine the horrific look on my kids face when we pulled up to Kroeger's, the grocery store when they saw this.......sitting outside.

I mean, really? C'mon Santa get a grip. I told Madeleine that this was just a guy pretending to be Santa and she was ok with my explanation. Saldy Elisabeth would not settle for that answer. She insisted saying, "No!!! That is Santa!" Geezo!

I snapped this shot of me with my awesome Salvation Army find. A brand new Tommy Hilfiger Nautical sweater for $3.00. I went there to get an "Ugly Sweater" to wear at our friends Ugly Sweater Christmas party and came away with this...

Disney's Princess and the Frog came out in the theatres, so my friend Aubree and I decided to take our "little Princesses" to see it.

Afterwards we took them to a local hamburger shop off of Woodward to get milkshakes!
