Day 365

Happy New Year's Eve 2009!

Day 364

Folding laundry and just plain sweet!

Day 363

So, the next Tony Hawk? No lie, I did NOT pose this kid. This is ALL HER. Its like she has found her soulmate in this little board. Its all she talks about...

Day 362

I couldn't find my photo card so had to use my cell phone camera (not great...). The girls received a package from our friends on the East Coast and the highlight were these cute little skateboards. I came home to yells of "we have SKATEBOARDS, MAMA!!!". I think T. would have slept with hers if I'd have allowed it.

Day 361

Grandma is visiting and the kids are delighting in the games on her laptop. Mental note...I'm NEVER putting these games on mine....

p.s. somewhere I messed up my photo day numbering, probably on the few days I missed this year so I'm jumping in numbers to get us to the end...

Day 356

Sisters sharing in a makeover moment. =)

Day 355

Our little doctor to be dug right into this gift!

Ah the true girlie girl on Christmas morning - excited because Santa included some makeup in her stocking!

Day 354

We had our family over for Christmas Eve. My darling niece had this adorable hoodie on and I am totally coveting it - the horns, aren't they the cutest! Don't let her scowl fool you - she's all angel!

Day 353

Eric touched up some paint in our living room tonight.

Day 352

The kids chose gifts for our good friends and wrapped them themselves tonight.

Day 351

My Baby Mabel.

Day 350

99% done with the wrapping - WOOO HOOOO! *sigh*

Day 349

Baking Christmas cookies. Yes, I cheat and buy everything including dough, but they taste yummy!!

Day 348

Messing around with my Lensbaby with the star insert and the Christmas tree.

Day 347

Bedtime - thankfully those smiling eyes closed on time tonight!

Day 346

Christmas cards, awaiting mailing labels and stamps...I'm SO behind this year!

Day 345

Its all about the winking right now - cute, huh?

Day 344

More Christmas decorations.

Day 343

Hanging out in the Murray's kitchen, decorating Christmas cookies. Couldn't resist these cute little (dirty) feet...nothing like feeling right at home!

Day 342

Silly girls, getting ready to head off to Nana and Grandpa's for the weekend.

Day 341

Someone was Star of the Week! Yeah, big girl! Here she is with her really, really great teacher!

Day 340

New toothbrush and things at school today - this kid loves a new toothbrush!

Day 339

She so totally rocks. =)

Day 338

We have had unusually cold weather this week and yesterday, SNOW was everywhere on my commute (but no camera). This morning it was colder, but most of the snow was washed away by rain late last night so no snow, but check out this pretty frost on our hedge!

Day 337

I came home tonight and the girls were doing homework. C. totally has the sweet teaching thing going on, coaching her little sister through her numbers. It was seriously cute.

Day 336

We started decorating the tree- late for us, but this season is totally sneaking up on me!

Day 335

Just her sweet face. =)

Day 334

The kids love these countdown calenders. These are kind of poorly designed - if you stand them up (like this) the chocolate falls out of the different trys and out the open bottom doors.

Day 333

Crafting with Grandma this evening. The "outfits" are attached via magnet, should they want to share.

Day 332

She runs around yelling "HEYYYYYYYY!" which almost sounds like an elephant for real. Very funny, this one is the comedian in the house...

Day 331

I can so see the 11 month old baby I first held so long ago...

Day 330

Trying out the new stocking...

Day 329

Checking out the sweet 65 Mustang that our cousin is restoring - bought from the original owner and, while it needs quite a bit of TLC, its SUCH a great set of bones to work from!

Day 328

Heading out to a Bar Mitzvah celebration this evening with our dolled up dollys!

Day 327

**Technical Difficulties*** thought it was the card reader on my laptop...turns out its my poor, much abused photo card. Will have to pull from the camera directly (which still recognizes the card). Update later.

Day 326

I came home late from a movie to find the girls "sleeping" in the loft.

Day 325

I didn't quite get it in this shot, but she has two missing bottom teeth right now and they are so cute!

Day 324

Celebrated Cheryl's birthday tonight - dinner and a GREAT movie! Seriously, we both loved this one!

Day 323

T. has a new buddy in her class. She talks about him all the time and can spell and write his name better than her own. He's a really sweet kid. I asked her what kinds of games they play at school and she told me that they mostly play "Super Heroes". I then asked her who she played and she looked at me matter of factly and answered "Robin" because her buddy is Batman. How cool is that? My girl is Robin!

Day 322

Setting up "camp" in Daddy's office.

Day 321

Uncooperative models today.

Day 320

The Tooth Fairy came through last night and the cutest part of this outcome was that when I asked C. what she was going to spend her loot on, her final answer was to save it for college! 6 years old and this gal is already making great decisions!

Day 319

C.'s offering to the Tooth Fairy.

Day 318

Found these really yummy slippers during my little getaway. Here T. is modeling them. =)

Day 317

Walking out on the big rock barriers in the water in Half Moon Bay. Couldn't have been a prettier day, especially for November!

Day 316

Sunset in Half Moon Bay - view from the hotel balcony. *sigh* Life is good...

Day 315

Eric took his Godson to a movie and dinner tonight and they stopped by before going home. The girls are totally over the top for him (heck we all are!) and loved the surprise visit.

Day 314

Little Miss Attitude - This one chased me all over the kitchen, drawing pictures of our family and a castle, which I tried to photograph, but she keeps getting my camera confused with the video camera and couldn't stop moving enough for me to get the shot. I did get this one though, so all was not lost. =)
