    Abby painted my fingernails today and then convinced her sister to do the same. She didn’t do to bad a job on Mckenzie’s nails! My kitchen table, on the other hand, took a beating. She needed to remove the old polish on Mckenzie’s nails so she used nail polish remover and it spilled on the…

    Cooper learned a new skill today. He is taking steps and is well on his way to being a walker! I am surprised it is happening so early. Abby walked at 11.5 months, Mckenzie just over a year and now Cooper is taking over a dozen steps on his own at 9.5 months.    I…

    I told the girls about how I as a child used to warm up on really cold days by getting a blanket and sitting on top of a heat register. Today, I found Abby doing just that.

    Today we decorated our gingerbread houses. I was smarter this year and bought the pre-assembled houses. We saved a lot of time by doing that and the girls didn’t get bored before they even got to decorate the house. Mckenzie spent about half her time licking the frosting off her fingers and the other half…

    Buddy the Elf left some books for the children to open before Christmas. The kids, well the girls, were excited to get a new book to read. Cooper was just happy to have something new to chew on 🙂 Cooper likes to keep me on my toes. Yesterday, we were all hanging out in the…
