Christmas with Nana

All dressed and ready to go!


Saige looks very very big here. Her hair is finally growing and getting longer. I noticed that her face is starting to look slimmer too. Can I cry for a bit please? I totally don't have babies anymore. Booooooo!


Reese got another wig!





Waiting for Grandpa Jim's gift!

Santa

Reese came into our room at about 6:50. She climbed in bed and sat very quietly. Then she said "I wonder if Santa came?" I said we'd go look in a bit. She was totally fine with waiting...basicly she still doesn't 100% get it. We talked a little more and I said "what do you want him to bring you" and she said "I'd like an Ariel side and Santa said he'd do his best." We started laughing!! I guess this is what she told him when she sat on his lap.

We finally woke Saige up and had saw what he brought them.




Here is a picture of Saige being excited about her Princess and the Frog doll. (Her favorite)



Here are a few of the girls playing with their toys.

Christmas Eve

Reese woke up on Christmas eve almost bursting with excitement. I don't blame her. It is a fun day. I remember being a child and waiting ALLLLLLLLLLLL day to go to my Memaw's house. It was just torture. We finally got dressed and went to church with Kara. Mark Ballas (from dancing with the stars) sang Oh Holy Night and we got to see a beautiful progressive painting done. I seriously wanted to keep the painting. Reese wasn't able to go to child care since she was 4. She has never sat through a church service and did great. She got very wiggly and Kara got out a marker and paper. She started drawing baby Jesus so fast that Kara and I got tickled. Her picture was then joined by all the people (Mary, Joesph, Angel's, animals, Shepperd's and wise men). Precious!

Christmas at my dads (aka Boo and Ott's)

Saige got to open the first gift. She got a baby that talked NONstop! I mean, that thing wouldn't stop all the way home. But we found the off button :)

Reese opened a gift next and was so excited but when it was a dress up skirt she blurted out "I wanted a toy!" Now, this girl lives in costumes 24/7 so I don't know what the deal was but I almost died. I pulled her in the hallway and we had a little chat. She has since worn and enjoyed the shirt.

Mani

I took the girls to get Santa pictures today. While we were at the mall we got Reese some SUPER fancy boots, ate at California Pizza Kitchen, the girls had a cookie and then we let them get their nails done. They thought it was the best thing ever. The sweet nail ladies painted snowflakes on their thumbs.

Saige HAD to have pink. Everything lately has to be pink. I was even wearing a pink shirt yesterday and she walked up to me and said "Oh no, I like pink. Take that off" News flash Saige, you do not own the color pink. hahaha.

Here are some pictures.

Ho ho ho

Yes, I am "that" mom!

true friends are hard to come by

Once a year I get to meet up with some of my oldest friends for a playdate. One friend and her sweet sister have moved to different states and the other two live in P-town :) It is so fun to see them, catch up and see all of our children together. It always makes me laugh to think back to memories of us at age 12...or 21 :) and now we are in our 30s with kids!!!!! It is hard to find true friends and even harder to keep them for as many years as we have been in touch. I hope my girls are lucky enough to have friends like these girls.

Here is a picture of our sweet babies.
