Snow Much Fun!

Today was our first opportunity this winter to take the girls out into the snow. They really seemed to have a lot of fun. Abby just keeps repeating over and over, "Snow is white!" Even though there wasn't too much snow on the ground, it was prefect packing snow, so we managed to build a pretty big snowman. The girls had fun helping us roll the balls of snow and decorating the snowman's face. We decided to make him a "hockey player," equipped with hockey balls for eyes, a puck for a nose, and a hockey stick in hand. What a great time!

Oh Christmas Tree

This year, we decided to buy the girls their own Christmas tree for their bedroom. Together, we decorated it tonight with a variety of ornaments ranging from the nativity scene to Mickey and Minnie Mouse (which were their absolute favorite!). The girls haven't quite gotten the concept yet that once you place the ornaments on the tree, you leave them there! The ornaments went on and came off numerous times, which in the end, resulted in a fallen tree (as you'll see in the picture below).

As you can see, Leah is pointing and at the same time yelling, "ABBY!"

First Haircut

Today the girls both had their first haircut. They both did such a great job! Leah was happy regardless of what was happening to her, because she had her little stuffed Minnie doll (which was hiding under her cape). Once and a while, Abby wanted her Mommy, but Shannon quickly distracted her and she was fine. Overall, they both did better than we ever expected for their first haircut!
