Christmas Eve Fun

Christmas Eve at the Kvihaug's was a joy! Travis's kids spent Christmas Eve opening their presents from Santa! He made a special delivery...Madison had a rough time understanding but it was all fun!

After a fun morning we got baths in and took naps and then ready for Christmas Eve at the Garibay's House! The kids just basically RAN, RAN and RAN!
When we got home we put out two Oreo cookies and a big glass of milk for Santa! Madison said he only needed two...what is she hinting? HA! After putting out cookies the girls got their jammies on and then we read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and then off to bed!

Hope everyone had a good Christmas Eve! Thanks to all our family and friends.

Here are the pictures from Christmas Eve 

Aidan, Scarlett and Felicity getting ready to open their gifts! 

 Santa was very generous this year! 

 Scarlett opening up all her fun toys!

 Aidan opening up his new monster power wheel from TJ and I. His reaction was priceless, "ARE YOU CHIDDING ME????!!!!"

 All the girls got a new baby from Papa and Gramma

This is my attempt to get the girls to take a picture before jammies got on before bed! 

 Daddy and the girls reading/listening to the book! 

 Look at that face...precious! 

December Pics of Fun!

Before the Christmas posts start I thought I would show what they have been up to this December!

 We have been busy with Dance, art projects, playing, learning, dress up, being silly and all sorts of hoopla! 

 I need to start to remember to take pictures...I have been slacking the last couple months. Get ready for the new year and the new me :-) More organized and more picture taking!!!

Gingerbread Houses

On Friday, Madison and Avery got to make their own gingerbread houses with their cousins. This a first for the girls! Thanks Trav!
Lets guess to see which one is Avery's??!?!?!? Lets just say...she got hungry while making it...hahaha!

Growing up...

My babies are growing up so fast! Good thing and a sad thing!

This Christmas from their nana and papa they got new bedding for their "new" beds.
Avery graduated to a toddler bed (Madison's 'old' bed) and Madison now is using mommy's old twin bed. They got new princess bedding for their 'new' beds. They are doing very well in them. Avery didn't bat an eye and slept great. Madison did fine and adjusting well in her new bed.

Trying to be like Momma

It's kinda hard to really tell but Madison's right side of her hair (your left) but it's full of lotion. 

Story is...one day I was coloring my hair in the bathroom and Madison and Avery were watching me. I was cleaning up my mess and came to the living room to find Madison putting lotion in her hair. Before I got upset with her I asked her "Madison JO, what are you doing?" Madison responded, "Mommy I color my hair like you did"

 How can anyone be mad at that...haha! 

Bath time followed soon after that. 

The things kids learn when watching mommy and daddy! 

We have a....

....LEFTY 

Avery is a lefty. We can't deny it or fight it anymore. She is ONLY eating and coloring with her left hand. Before we would try to put things in her right but she changes hands. Gotta love our little lefty!

Stylish Girls...even with dirty faces!

Girls rockin' some cute hats! Adorable even with spaghetti faces! 

Avery loves to put on sunglasses! 

St. Nick made a visit at the Kvilhaug's!

St. Nick made a visit at the Kvilhaug's house this morning! He left all the kids a treat by their shoe!

The girls were very excited and of course a good mommy as I am I would NEVER (haha) let them have candy before breakfast! Thanks St. Nick!!!!

Can't believe it's already December

Sorry for the lack of posts this past month or so. We have been BUSY...and that is honestly the truth.

So lately...
Girls are Great.
We are doing good.

Avery is 18 months...she is officially 1 and 1/2 years old. She is great but can be mommies big pain in my tushie! She is a very big mommies girl and since I have been home it is getting worse. She is also my naughty girl too. She is a handful but love her to death and when she gives you those big eyes how can I be angry at her. She is talking a little more each day and boy is she smart...but quiet smart...ha! She doesn't need to because her sister talks for her and 10 other people...haha!
Madison is 3 now and going on 10. She is coming up with the funniest sayings lately. She is too funny! She is also a handful as well but love her!

I started watching my girlfriend's daughter 4 days a week and love it!!!! We are also so busy and having so much fun! The girls love having a friend to play with!

We decorated the house to the 9th degree of Christmas decorations and LOVE IT! Such a fun holiday and so much holiday spirit in the house. So much fun for the kids and of course the adults!

Elf on the Shelf works wonders with the kids!

We are now a mini van family...just waiting on my stick figure thingys for the back window to be ordered and I am set! I actually want them...they make me giggle! We traded in the truck...it was a sad day to see him go but he needs a family that will use him for what it's needed for :)

Madison is doing much better at dance. They split the class in two classes and Madison joined the smaller one and is doing SO much better. Well the first day of the new class was last week so hopefully it continues to be good next week.

Ok well I will leave you with some fun pictures from today.
We went to see Santa, made cookies with the family and we all had a blast! I am blessed with such a great family!
