Think, Think, Think

Things have been crazy lately, and I haven't had much time to sit down and blog. I should have because the last few weeks are a muddly mess in my brain tonight...We've been working a ton, but have also found time to do some fun things as a family. I think I'll just let this blog be a picture post because that is so much easier than trying to remember anything right now :)


Here are some cute pics of the girls from Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time with all of our D-Port Family, and enjoyed all of the yummy food! Banana was excited to get to be with some of her best friends, and Em was just excited to get to eat all night! Every time I turned around she had something in her mouth!
Running Man surprised Banana and I with tickets to Princess's on Ice last weekend! It was such a fun girls night for Banana and I. She was decked out in all of her princess gear (complete with makeup and sparkles). On the way in we walked passed a family and one of their little girls started yelling at her mom that cinderella was there, while pointing frantically at Banana. I thought Banana was going to scream she was so excited someone thought she was Cinderella!! No trip to Disney on Ice is complete without one of their overcharged, but delicious snow cones.
I spent most of the night watching Banana's face every time a princess would come onto the ice. Melted my heart, and made me so excited to go to Disney World next week!

It's our tradition to get our Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving and we love going to a little tree farm here. Not quite the same as cutting one down in the snow covered moutains...but a whole lot easier with two kids! The girls loved it, and Banana found the perfect tree for our tiny house.



We started new tradition this year of watching Polar Express while decorating the tree. Banana and Em are in LOVE with this movie and have all of the songs memorized. And you can't watch Polar Express without drinking some hot chocolate! I didn't get a pic of them enjoying their treat because by the time I got the camera out their hot chocolate was gone!

Decorating our Gingerbread Sleigh. So much easier to construct with two toddlers. Banana enjoyed decorating the sleigh so much more than the house. There was a lot more for her to do, and we didn't have to be as careful in the construction.Em doing what she does best...eating her food while we try and decorate the sleigh. She got to put a few things on, but after around 5 sneak attacks on the candy she was banished to her chair. :)
And finally here's Em in her favorite hang out. I don't know why we buy her any toys because she loves to play with the most random household objects. This is a shot from when she first climbed in...

And here's her face when I had just saved her from tipping over and nearly bashing her head into the coffee table....She's clearly not impressed with my superhuman speed.Phew...I hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season, and we can't wait to see some of you in a few weeks!!

I like what you did with the lights on you tree. I have never thought about doing that. Your hair is cute too. You look more like your mom and sister with it that color. :) We can't wait to see you!
