It's always a fight...

over who gets to be held by Papa...

oH LittLe TowN of BetHleheM...

A week or so ago we made Gingerbread houses, mini ones!!!
I put them together, then the kids decorated them.

Brigette did such a great job!!! Then she pestered me for ever to let her eat it!!

I told her not until I got a picture of her with it!!! After I took the picture, she bit the head off the GIANT snowman and ate the ledge off the roof, it has been sitting like that ever since!!!

What a goof!!!

My little Tera monster...

I have a Little People Nativity, its mine, but I let the kiddos play with it...

I set it up all nice and cute, then my little Tera gets to it, and it looks like Godzilla blew through Bethlehem. But how can you not let this little cutie play with it??!!

Jessica asked me yesterday how many times a day I set it up...

way too many...

Polar Express

The night before Thanksgiving we went and rode Polar Express. Beau and Jessica and their kids went and so did Brad and Tiff and their boys. Beau and Jessica ended up on a different train car than us, but that's OK, we had a blast!!! Zach especially was excited for the big train ride... The pictures aren't in order but this one is of Tera when Santa brought her the bell, she was so excited...

Here is briggie with her bell, she had a blast!!!

Tera passed out after her sugar high from the hot cocoa and cookies

As did Brigette...

We really had so much fun!!! This was Brigette's second time riding the Polar Express, I don't think she remembered from the time before because after we left the North Pole she quickly fell asleep!!!

Tera especially loved the ride, she laughed and clapped and bounced all the way to the North Pole!!!

It is so fun getting to do stuff that your kids love. I love to watch them when they get to do something exciting and new.

I absolutely LOVE being a mom. I love being with my little girls, especially at Christmas time. Brigette is really excited about being a good girl so she can be on the nice list. She loves our "Charlie Brown" Christmas tree and asks me everyday if it is time to go to Nana's for Jesus' birthday!

Merry Christmas!!! I love you guys!!!

Stars

A couple of weeks ago Jessica informed us there was going to be a meteor shower. Later that night when we were leaving Jessica's to go to my parents I overheard Brigette telling Mason:

"See!! I can see the stars! They aren't taking a shower!"

She is so flippin funny!!

Also here is a little video of Tera walking that Ash took last week when she was here!
