Christmas Shows...

Maura & Meredith both did a wonderful job performing in their Christmas performances. Meredith sang Rudolph, We Wish You a Happy Birthday (to the tune of We Wish You a Merry Christmas), and This Little Light of Mine. She is quite the little ham! Maura performed with her 1st grade class this year and sang Mele Kalikimaka. She suffers from mild stage fright, and covered her eyes when she was done singing!

Cookies, Cookies, & more Cookies...

We managed to make it through another cookie baking day tradition, I think we made a few dozen! This photo only shows a portion of the little confections, and some small fingers helped themselves to some of the cookie toppings while the big people weren't looking!

OK Mommy's Crazy...

But aren't these matching sweaters so cute! I swore after growing up with matching outfits, that I would never do this to my children! But, as a plaque that my father gave me states "Mirror, Mirror on the wall, I am my Mother after all". And luckily my girls think it's fun too!
These pics are from Breakfast With Santa-you can see who has been naughty & who has been nice!

Meredith Turns 4!

Meredith celebrated her 4th birthday with 18 of her closest friends at Build A Bear. Everyone had a great time creating new little Beary special friends. Meredith named her new little friend "Vanilla" after her favorite flavor. And of course she had to have a "Hannah Montana" shirt for Vanilla.
