Our after Christmas fun!!!

 

The girls are enjoying new clothes, new toys, and of course, Miles new stuff as well.

Then Pearl started doing this with the carrots.  Note:  if you ever come to our house don't touch the carrots. 

We were super busy the other day and I promised Miles a hot chocolate party if he just wouldn't complain for 5 minutes in the car.  It worked and as promised, we enjoyed a hot chocolate party.  We tried tea cups for all but ended up putting the girls in a sippy.  (I made one cup of hot chocolate and split it between all three.  The babies probably had a Tbsp but they loved it anyway)

We enjoyed our annual goo bath.  Miles loved it, Malorie loved it, and Pearl hated it!!  She got out immediately.

The girls thought it would be fun to dogpile Miles.  He thought it was funny.  Malorie of course was the instigator here. 

We had friends over on Sunday to play in the snow.  This is the first time the girls got to go out so the didn't quite know what to think about the snow pants. 

Pearl lasted about two minutes and hated it.  Frank of course, loved it and cried for 20 minutes after I made her come in.  We had four almost two year old here, a three year old, a four year old, a five year old, and an eight year old.  It was pretty fun though as the little one followed the big ones around.  At one point everyone was in the office having a dance party and playing bulldozer. 

My kids were declared the most high maintenance as they went to bed at their scheduled time.  Evie here passed out on the couch after no naps and her brother Nathan was hanging strong at 10 pm.  My kids would have been a disaster at about 6 and cried until we put them in their own beds. 

We have been enjoying lots of princess time.  Miles was trying it out.  I love this picture.

Pearl loves it and loved the jewelry.  Malorie tolerates it for a little while and then takes it all off. 

Frank was napping and Princess Miles was jumping over her.  We were so happy to get out play room back after Uncle Andy left. 

Then Miles turned back into a boy and started wrestling Frank. 

Then the babies raided Miles "too little bin" and had a dance party to celebrate. 

Daddy has been putting an awning over our front door.  The girls were fascinated.
