CHRISTMAS DAY

SANTA CLAUSE...

Santa came to see the girls Christmas morning. Meg was up at 6:45 to wake us all, including Ava. She of coarse was soooo excited. Ava was still somewhat asleep but seemed to love all the new prizes. Megs favorite Santa gifts were her pink DS(Like Paytons), Make-up Case and Princess Skates. Avas faves were her Princess cars, Yo Gabba Gabba shirt, Zebra and for sure her Dora Skates. Luckily Santa knows that the girls have to get the exact same thing with maybe a twist to it. After presents and watching Barbie Christmas Carol we headed to my parents for "Terry's Breakfast!"

We made and frosted lots of very yummy 30 second cupcakes for Meg and played cars and robots for Ava. It is so funny how they are born with such their own personality.

PA AND MEEMS...

DUNCANS...

Later on that night Lances fam came over for dinner and Wii. Thanks to Danny and Brit for dinner. It is always so nice for Meg to get to see her cousins and she so loves Payton. The Varners could not get back to Traverse Mtn so they had to turn around and come back to have a sleepover at our house.

All seemed like a great holiday when I woke up in the middle of the night very sick. I spent the next 5 days throwing up, lots of coughing, sleeping all day and all night, headaches, fevers and living on the couch. I have never had anything take me out like that. I lost a ton of weight and looked like a crack mom with dark circles under my eyes for a while. The Dr said that I had some funky rotovirus infection that just had to work its way through my system. Whatever that means. It was also fun to add both girls with everlasting ear infections and coughs to the mix.

Merry Christmas!

CHRISTMAS EVE

Christmas eve this year was spent at my cousin Aaron's house. We had a ton of yummy food(tamales, spaghetti, turkey, cheese bread and lots of cookies) and a great time just hanging out. The kids got new pj's, played games and we tried to get them to sing Christmas carols, with no such luck.

We had to take off a bit early because the girls still were not feeling great, plus Lance and I were not really being friends either. It's funny how that stress of the holidays can get us all so crazy. Add bitch week on top of that and it's really crazy!

ZOO LIGHTS

We went to see the Zoo Lights tonight. It was really not to cold other than we could not find enough gloves. They are always missing when you need them. The girls were all snugged in the jogger and liked the lights and reptiles. We all had a good time and we really needed to do something Christmasie before it passed us by.

HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS

We hope everyone has a great holiday season.
I have been so busy that today we finally got around to doing Sants Lists. Meg did hers and then wanted to write Avas but we didn't have time to sit thought another hour to let her write it. So Meg told me what she thought Ava would like.

A MEG WEEKEND

Happy Birthday to our sweet princess Meg. She is now 5 and so excited to be big or at least bigger. Today started out with a new birthday outfit and school. She picked Nerd Ropes and Glowies to give to her class.

MEG...

*Meg is such a good girl

*She loves pink milk, oatmeal, sloppies, mac & cheese, cereal

*Is very into the Princess, Tinkerbell, Barbie and HSM

*Some of her fav shows are Max & Ruby, Pinky Dinky Do, WA WA Wuzby, Yo Gabba Gabba, Sid the Science Kid and Charlie & Lola

*Until yesterday she wanted to be( in this order)a cheeleader, a salon, doctor, basketball player and dancer when she grew up and now she only wants to be one person, an artist.

*Meg and Ava do NOT play well together

*Loves to wear her hair long and we have to braid her hair every night before bed or it is a nightmare to brush out in the morning

*She mostly moves in slow motion unless it is something fun to do. I have to ask a million times to get her to move.

*Likes to wear lots of mismatched pairs of pjs

*Still loves her gank although she hasn't mentioned the tag for awhile

*Does not like loud noises

When she got home from school she got to open her presents from us and was very excited for her Pink Ipod. She has been talking about it for a long time. After that we went to the mall to get some lunch and see Santa. That night we had family over for cake and ice cream. It was a great and very long day. Ava had about a million break downs that day and all weekend. She was so upset about not being able to touch everything and she also hated Santa.
CLASSIC SKATING PARTY...

We were planning on having a princess party this year and after skating a couple weeks ago she wanted to switch. So we took 11 chitlins skating. It turned out really well and with O drama. All the kids were great and did such a good job skating. Everyone got necklace glowies so we could keep track of them.

Lance Gage and I took them all on.

SCHOOL CHRISTMAS PARTY

We went to Meg's Christmas party at school tonight. They are such a great school and Meg loves going with her friend Baylee. The kids got to make reindeer food, sing, have treats and see Santa. Meg loved seeing Santa and Ava hated it. We were unsure what she would think. The picture says it all.
