Mixed Feelings about Santa

As you can see, the girls had very different feelings about Santa today. Macey has been talking a lot about sitting on Santa's lap this year. Usually she's just talk and gets too scared at the moment so we were very proud of her today when she actually sat on his lap with a smile and told him what she wanted! (I will add, BEFORE the smile and getting on his lap, it took Annabelle and Bennett to sit on his lap first.) Kelsey on the otherhand was crying as I handed her over to Santa. She woke up crying from a nap today (unusal for her) so I'm hoping she's not having nightmares due to this experience I put her through.

Quotes, Pictures, and Events from the last few days......

*Kelsey stood for 5 seconds without holding onto anything

*Macey put a 24 piece puzzle together all by herself

*Kelsey did a face plant and bled quite heavily from the mouth.

*Kelsey fell backwards in the tub, had a terrible scare of being underwater for barely a second and screamed.

*Macey started screaming even harder because she was so scared for Kelsey. It took me longer to calm Macey down, she kept saying, "I'm just scared for Telsey"

*Took many fun Christmas pictures

*Macey woke up from her nap today and starting reaching up to touch her ceiling that slants down and said: "Look Mom! I'm getting bigger because all my running I do! Now I can go to preschool!"

*Macey while looking at pictures on the computer with me today said: "That color looks good on Carly's face" -referring to a headband (she might need to try out for Stylista next season, have you watched that show?)

*Made a homemade pizza. I'm still finding sauce and mozarella cheese around the house. I just cleaned some off her stool in the bathroom.

*We are enjoying the Christmas season so far. Macey is really into it all, helping decorate the Christmas tree, wrapping gifts, watching Christmas movies, sipping hot chocolate, and listening to Christmas music. I feel very lucky to be spending these days at home with my girls. (I do enjoy putting them to bed by 7:30 as well! :) )

Here's a glimpse of some of the Christmas picture taking that has been going on......

Jason's mom and sister made matching pj's sets for the 3 grandkids, didn't they turn out cute?

You will find that my Roosey Roo is very talented with her mouth throughout these pictures.




Aren't the pink overalls just great?

Quotes of the day:

Macey: "Mom, stop biting your nails! Damma does that too!"
(I think I maybe break this habit if she stays on top of me)


Macey talking to Jason as he's walking out the door to basketball practice: "Dad be careful, watch out for deer, it's dark out there!"



Me: "Macey, you can get your pj's on now"
Macey: "Oh thank you mom, oh thank you!"



Macey sweetly says to Jason out of the blue: " I love you the best dad"
