Happy New Year!

Started off the new year with some fantastic margaritas, compliments of Mike last night.

Ellie started off the new year with a car ride, and a bit of static.

Sydney started off the new year by losing a tooth!

It's the one on the bottom left.  Like her smile?  Me too.
My poor Briana is starting off the new year with a new cold.  Boo! 

I finally got around to getting some of the girls artwork framed and Mike hung them up in the living room this morning.  I love, love, love how they look!

Happy 2012!

I Heart Sleepovers

Something I love about my girls is that no matter how much they fight and argue all day long, it never fails, they always want to sleep together.  It's very cute to see them all snuggled up together in Sydney's bed.  And, matching jammies makes it all the sweeter. 

Love those little ladies.

Merry Christmas!!

One More Sweet Thing

The day after Christmas, one of Briana's teacher is having a baby.  She doesn't know if she is having a boy or a girl, and Briana has been making endless lists of name ideas for her.  They threw a big baby shower for her at school and all the kids gave her little presents for her baby.  The other night, Briana started typing up this book with the intenetion of giving it to her teacher before Christmas break.  She didn't have time to finish the book, but it was so cute I had to share it here. 

Advice for your new baby

Chapter 1

Changing diapers

When your baby starts crying because they need their diaper changed, give them a binky and pat them on their back and change their diaper. After you’re done take out their binky and give them some warm milk. Lay your baby in your arms and rock them back and forth so they will calm down. When you are getting the diapers get the softest brand of the diapers. Your baby will feel comfortable in the most softest kind of diaper. They will always fall asleep in the most comfortable diaper. Even though diapers are very expensive your baby needs them. You will want your baby to feel comfortable right? Then you should probably get the softest brand for your new born.

She's going to make a great mommy someday!

Briana's Jazz Christmas Recital

Something Sweet

A conversation in my house tonight in front of the microwave.

Briana:  Mom, you know how some of your shirts are kind of old?

Me:  mmm hmm...

Briana: Those ones always feel like you and smell like you. And they're my favorite ones.

Me: (heart swelling)

Guess what movie we watched today!
