Four litte stair steps...

Merry Christmas!

Xander, Brooks, Kolby, Kate

Get excited because...

...there's only 6 days until CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!! Yep, I'm pretty excited about it. Every morning, this is my routine:

• get up before everyone else and make just enough noise that mommy wakes up too


• come downstairs before my alarm goes off and see if I can join in mommy's "mommy time"- she loves that!


• beeline for the kitchen to eat my advent calendar chocolate-why wait until after lunch or dinner? start your day off right with a small piece of heaven


• tear off a paper ring from the Christmas-countdown I made at church


• annouce to the family how many days until CHRISTMAS!

Ok, now that you've got the gist of it, here are a few pictures of what we've been up to lately...they are in reverse order but I'm too lazy to change the pictures so you'll have to make do...

Kolby LOVES her books and will read anytime, anywhere...this was today after her bath.

Kolby is a crazy woman and shut herself in Deac's crate on Saturday- we stayed in our jammies until lunch!

Kolby spent about 15 minutes last week walking around in heels...they aren't actually Mommy's, she borrowed them from Kiki for a party. Looks like they're about to belong to Kolby if we're not careful.

Yep, here I am, finally! I wasn't lovin' the "let's sing Christmas carols for all the moms in MOPS" last week...guess it's time to head back to music class in January to get my singing voice back!


MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been kinda slack on blogging lately...lots going on! Mom and Dad recently got iphones...yeah, they think they're pretty cool (what they don't know is that in a few years I'll be running circles around their tech knowledge!). Anyway, it's been cramping my style a bit because they want to take pictures of EVERYTHING! And, then they forget to put the pictures on the computer for me to use here.

Anyhoo...here's some shots from our recent trip to California (so fun!), "camping" at Brooks' house, and playing Santa this morning at home!

Only 21 days till Christmas! (but who's counting??)
