Butterfly Angels

It has been so fun unpacking all of the Christmas stuff this year. We have so many little angel statues that people have given us over the years and Melissa can not understand why they all have wings! She has renamed them, "Butterfly Angels!"

The Girls Met Santa!

Tonight, as we were walking through the mall, it happened... Kayla yelled, "Santa!!" and there he was! He was talking to a security guard at the fence and when he heard Kayla he waved to us and drew the girls right in. He knelt down and asked the girls if they have been good. He asked if Mommy has been good and lucky for me they said yes! He then asked what they wanted for Christmas and Melissa said a cat. He asked if she wanted a real cat or a pretend cat. It was my lucky night because she said a pretend cat! He was so sweet to the girls and really took the time to talk to them (even though we didn't pay for the visit!) and they have been talking about it all night! Melissa tried to change her mind once she was with just us and say she wanted a real cat, but I told her that Santa already knows that she wants a pretend one and we probably shouldn't change her order! She said, "okay." They are in love with Santa.

Decorating the Christmas Tree...

...and dipping pretzels. We had SO much fun this past Friday making chocolate covered pretzels and decorating our Christmas Tree! The girls were SOOO cute and really made everything magical. We are so blessed. (The videos are a little dark as usual, but you will get the idea!)

Our little Indians

Our little "Indians" met Daddy at the door the other night with warm muffins to welcome him home. What a treat! Yes, that is a DIRTY shirt Kayla is wearing... She always ends up wearing more of what we are baking than what goes in the pan! They had a blast making the "head pieces" and we had fun talking about Thanksgiving... It is so fun with little ones!

"Picking" Fall Leaves

Ray took the girls out to "pick" leaves today (while Mommy was gone) for a project we are going to do. They had a blast and enjoyed telling me about all of the colors that they found. They are all about being outside! Aren't our paci girls cute?

News Flash

The reign of Halloween menace by a male deer was ended on Halloween evening by a civic minded hunter. The deer, reported to weigh 130 pounds and have an eight point rack was brought down just north of Smyrna, SC. The hunter, who wished to remain anonymous, stated that he was sitting quietly in the woods, enjoying the peace of nature, when the maniacal deer stepped into the path and challenged the man. The man, who just happened to have his rifle with him said he tried to reason with the deer, but to no avail. Left with no other option the good citizen was forced to end the deer’s Halloween spree. The deer now rests peacefully in the coolers on the front deck, awaiting further processing. To all other deer in the area, the hunter stated.. we are watching you…..
