Picture of the Week: Visiting with Santa


Monday, Gracie got her permanent palatal arch put in. She did great, and forgot all about it after a day or two.


We made peanut butter blossom cookies after school on Tuesday, and the girls helped unwrap all of the kisses.



We did a little Christmas shopping, and Grace made Daddy text Santa everything she saw that she wanted.


Charley sang upstairs by herself and recorded it on her iPad. I love that I get their pictures and videos on my phone, so I can spy on them.


I went to the Vegas Strong Benefit Concert with my mom and sisters on Mom's birthday. The concert was awesome, and I totally fell in love with Imagine Dragons. They were amazing performers, and I can't wait to go see them live again. (Happy Birthday, Mom!)









I took the girls to get their annual Santa pictures. We opted for matching jammies this year instead of the fancy dresses we usually wear. Perry wasn't a huge fan, but the pictures still turned out adorable.



Since the studio is around the corner from Poppa and Grandma's house, we stopped by to visit with them for a bit. The girls always get snacks from Poppa when we stop by, so it's one of their favorite places to go.



That night, we celebrated Mom's birthday at the lake. We watched the Parade of Lights, and Perry gave Ava lots of love.













Sunday morning, we ate breakfast at Marie Calendar's and enjoyed their amazing blueberry banana bread.


After breakfast, we stopped by the park in hopes of wearing the girls out. We had big plans that night, and we really wanted them to nap beforehand.


Grace and Char tore up the monkey bars. They're so good on them now, since they practice at school every day.








After long naps all around, we got ready and headed to T-Mobile Arena for the Golden Knights game.



We had a blast, as usual. I really wish we would have known how much we were going to love hockey when the team was first announced. I would have bought season tickets way back then before they got so expensive. At this game, they handed out Vegas Born towels on the way in, and it was so cool to see them in action as the game started.


Perry took her usual second period nap.


The girls visited Uncle Zac and Auntie Stef during a break, since they were sitting on the other side of the arena.




We ate yummy snacks and cheered the Knights to victory.






Another fun week down, and only a couple more to go in 2017!

See you next week.

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Picture of the Week: The Sleepiest Kid Ever When I pick Perry up in the afternoons, we have to wait for about twenty minutes before Grace and Char get back from school. I actually kind of love it, because it gives me a chance to hang in Perry's classroom when they are doing afternoon crafts. Monday, they made barns out of chocolate graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Perry's favorite part was eating it, and she shared with her sisters in the car as we drove home. We made salads for dinner, and she kept begging Daddy for bites. He decided it was easier to just share the whole bowl with her. Perry is definitely our best eater of the bunch and loves pretty much everything you give her, including most veggies.   She was being super silly in the bath, so I gave her a mohawk to go with her sass. While I was combing her hair, she found the tweezers on the counter, and kept calling them "teezwers". It was adorable, so I had to get a video.

Mini Adult

I'm officially in birthday planning mode. Grace is going to be TWO in just a month. She's such a mini adult: I can't even believe she used to be as small as Charley! Grace is now sleeping in her own bed all night. She falls asleep with us, but once we move her to her own bed, she stays there all night long. She's also in panties full time. She still has accidents in the middle of the night once in a while, but it's easy to wash her sheet and the waterproof mattress pad. We're officially done with diapers with this one!! Grace has also learned to roll her eyes this month. It's hilarious when I tell her she's cute and she rolls her eyes at me. Such a diva! She tells us she's ready to "go to bet" around 7:30 every night and even around 1:00 every day when she wants to take her nap (I love pre-school for this one). Grace is totally obsessed with pouches. If you don't know what they are and you have kids
