First Dipped Cone

And boy was it a mess!!

Visit with Ben & Steph

Thank you Ben and Stephanie for keeping the girls for us on Saturday!  The girls loved visiting.  They made these crafts and some banana bread, which Alaina is now obsessed with.  I've promised her to make some more soon!  Thanks guys, they loved it!!!

New Haircuts

Both girls needed haircuts.  Caitlin has been growing hers out and has been very against any length being cut off, but when she mentioned on Friday she wanted it shorter, we jumped at the chance.  We looked at some pictures together and decided this style would work well (the middle pic).

Here's Caitlin before: 

Miss Christy taking the first cut!

And here's the after:

We both love it!

For Alaina, I wanted the middle picture.  A short bob works well for her.  I wasn't sure how her curls would do with it though.

Alaina before -

While Caitlin was getting her hair cut, Alaina kept saying she was scared and didn't want to get her cut.  I was really worried how this was going to go.  Later Christy told me she was worried too.  Getting that haircut on a toddler that didn't want her haircut was going to be tough.  But as soon as she sat inthe chair with her sucker, she didn't move.  She did great!

She even was okay during the hairdryer.  She HATES the hair dryer!

Miss Christy tried and tried to get those curls to blow out.

Finally she had to flat iron them.  They were stubborn!

I love it!!

The girls were so good, that they earned a reward from Menchie's!! 

Report Card

Christmas

Christmas was great!  Larry & Denise were able to come and visit with us for almost a week.  The girls loved having them here!!

Santa brought Alaina a Little People dollhouse and Caitlin a guitar.

We made some yummy goodies!  White chocolate covered oreo truffles, white chocolate cheddar popcorn, and Christie Cookies! 

Then at night, we went to mom's house. 

Alaina loved opening more presents!

Caitlin had to play immediately with the puppet theater Heather made.  It was ADORABLE!! 

One of Alaina's favorite gifts is the baby cradle/feeding station.  We play babies all the time now.  She loves bathing them, feeding them and then putting them to sleep.

She also LOVES all her Little People stuff.  She plays with ALL of them.  They are great for her because she can't destroy them and she loves imagining stories for all the people.
