Merry Christmas

We spent Christmas morning at my parents' house this year.  It was a little bit of a crazy morning since we had 9:00 church, but we made it work.  We woke Izze up to do Santa presents before church, bad idea!  Santa brought both girls a doll, however Addie's was Cinderella and Izze's was a Fisher Price Little Mommy doll.  Izze's first response was to cry and then throw a tantrum, super fun.  The rest of the morning she spent trying to hide the Cinderella doll behind her so Addie wouldn't see it.  Izze loves all things princess which is different from Addie when Addie was her age, something I need to remember! 
Our family exchange, Addie had me!
Izze hiding Cinderella, hasn't even touched her Santa gift as you can see in background.
Izze still hiding Cinderella!
Just what Andrew has always wanted, a Princess brush :)
Addie colored me a picture, wrapped it herself, and was so excited to give it to me.  Best present ever!
This pretty much sums up our Christmas morning.  Both girls in tears, better luck next year...

Jammie Party and Cookies

For Addie's Christmas party at preschool they were to wear their favorite pajamas and bring their favorite Christmas thing to share for show and tell.  Since we were staying at my parents' house that week Addie was able to locate a snow globe which she loved and Target was able to provide us with some cute princess pajamas since I only packed old ones.  Addie loved her party and has loved going to Miss Karie's preschool.  We are going to miss it so much!
We went over to Grandma Jensen's house one day to make cookies.  The girls loved it, Grandma Jensen is so nice to let the girls have free reign, very hard for me to do!  Addie loved pouring the sprinkles on the cookies!

Christmas Windows

We went downtown to see the Christmas windows at the Grand America Hotel with my sister's family and my Mom.  The scavenger hunt was a lot of fun and the new toy shop was super cute. 
This is in front of huge gingerbread house!  There was tons of candy on there, so fun to see!  Izze refused to be in the picture, not surprised at all by this.
Waiting for TRAX, Addie was against pictures at this point.
Such a successful picture day :)

Silly Girls

One night while the girls and I were at my parents' house, Izze found Grandpa's glasses and thought it would be fun to wear them.  Addie had to take a turn, of course, they thought it was so fun.
(This was late at night, hence the untamed hair!)
