MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Here is Cole and Ali on Christmas Eve in their new jammies and so excited!Cole and Ty woke me up every few hours that night... Ty was eating and Cole was anxious for Santa
Ali got tons of fun stuff. Grandma Skinner had the beautiful cradle made for her and Santa brought a highchair to match! Grandma Z drives a VW Bug so she got Ali the cute pink car.
Here is Cole with all his goods. Right when he woke up he ran and got me my present first. He was excited to give me his homemade card with lotion. That was so sweet of him. Then it was onto his stuff! . Santa brought our entire family a Wii this year. I like it too much myself. We were late to church the next day because Cole and I were playing mario.
Ty finally woke up at 10am and Cole and Ali opened his stuff for him. He obviously didnt know what was going on. But seemed to love all the chaos! Between Santa, Grandparents, and us, my kids are all set. So now we have some fun things to get us through the LONG COLD DARK winter!!!

Ali had her preschool program and loved singingShe loved posing for my pictures too
Here she is with Libby... she is showing me her painted fingernails
She kept showing everyone her nails... much more important than singing right?
Oh and the best part was the dessert!

Coles Preschool Program

Cole had his program and did such a great job.He got to stand by Brock and wanted all the other kids cropped out except Brock.

He likes to do anything but smile for me in pictures

Here he is as one of the wisemen

Only in Alaska

This is what we saw on our way home today in our neighborhood. I was so excited and was able to run home and get the camera before he took off. So amazing!!!!!!!

My girl

I love that I get to have a little girl of my own. Who else would share in my excitement over these cute shoes?
I love this girl. She adds such a sweet feminine touch to our house. She is the girliest girl you will ever meet. No day is complete without her necklace, bow, bracelet, skirt, fancy shoes, purse, a little lipgloss and she is finally ready. In preschool she had to write something she is thankful for... not mom or dad, not family or friends... my girl is thankful for LIPSTICK. She is hilarious. She dances and sings all day long and is in her own world. She is my best shopping buddy and will come along without complaining. (As long as she gets to browse her stuff too) I am so lucky to have this girl. I hope she and I are always close! She is the best.

I Love my Boys

These are the sweetest boys I know. After asking Cole to GO TO BED many times.... he dared to say "MOMMY!" once more. I went in firmly and said "what?" He looked at my face and with his quick wit said "I just wanted to tell you how pretty you are mom." Oh this boy is good! Very charming and knows just what to say! Then there is little Ty. Seriously the best baby in the world. He just chills out and comes along with us wherever we are going. Cole loves him so much and always wants to help and be a good example to him. Today I brought out some jammies that were for Ty for Christmas and Cole ran over and covered his eyes so he wouldnt see them. Ty is lucky to have a brother that cares so much about him. I am the luckiest to have these amazing boys!
