Baking away!

I am finding that making a list for my blog is a lot quicker and easier considering I'm a terrible writer so here I go:

The past few days:

*Kids had a fun Christmas party at Elizabeth's house last Thursday (see pictures below)
*Jason's game was cancelled Thursday night and had a snow day Friday so he is now officially on Christmas Break!!!!
*He is very ambitious and has been tearing down wallpaper and priming to get things ready for painting here hopefully tomorrow. Oh I can't wait!
*My job the last few days has been trying to bake in a kitchen that is a disaster from wallpaper being torn down and keeping the girls out of Jason's way (not an easy task!)
*Ventured to a busy Walmart today with -27 degree wind chill. Loading the groceries into the car was not fun!
*Kelsey is running a temp of 101.5 today and we're hoping it's teething since she's drooling and she never drools usually. No other symptoms besides some whining...?? Someone in our family is ALWAYS sick the week of Christmas...it never fails.


Here are some quotes:

Today Macey wanted to watch a Christmas movie so I was looking on On Demand and saw Barbie Nutcracker and of course she wanted it. I said no because it cost money. Her response, "Well I have money" I said, "You do? Where?" She answers while running to her dad, "In my dad's wallet!"

Before bed we asked Macey if she wanted to watch the movie Cars since it was on tv. Her response, "No that movie is for BOYS!"


Kelsey is starting to get in on the quotes as well. I may be making some of this up, but I am starting to question it everyday as I hear her trying to talk more and more. So this is what I *think* she said :)

I was changing Kelsey's diaper and I asked her, "Did you go poopy?" She looks and me and presses her lips together and says, "POO!"



Annabelle with the innocent look of, "I didn't try it yet"

They're looking too old.

Kelsey joining in on the fun at the table for lunch with the big kids and thinking she's pretty darn cool!


Loving the candycanes.



Very intense.


She has to do it all herself. Good thing her attention span is only for the first batch or two.


Making pumpkin bread and yes that wallpaper is now down!

Great update Jen. I was talking to Brenda earlier this week and she says the Kels is trying to talk. I have never heard of such and her knowing who Dora is still kills me. Great pictures of the baking and that Macey sure does love to help. It looks like Kels may be walking for Christmas

Wow do Bennett and Macey look old in that picture. What is going on! I'd love to see Kelsey take a couple of steps this week. Your house is going to look so different the next time I see it :) Got a good chuckle on Macey's comment about where "her" money was...
