It's been a while since I've posted pictures from my phone, so some of these date back to before Halloween...oh well. :)
Someone had some issues getting a box of cereal open.
Addison had left a flower on a shelf by the crib. Apparently instead of sleeping, Molly decided to shred the leaves and play with them like confetti.
Perfecting Swig sugar cookies...just about have them perfected!
My mom came down for a visit...apparently we're too much of a party.
Molly likes to wear her food
Once in a while my neighbor will bring a ton of bananas to us (long story short, someone gives them to him and he doesn't need them all). I usually try to make a few loaves of banana bread and take him one.
I was cleaning the living room and looked under the couch...there I found two pieces of celery. Very random.
Molly enjoying a Swig cookie...or at least the frosting.
Merry Christmas to us! Nothing like a bill saying, "Your insurance won't cover any of this..." :P
A "Thank You" note from Claire.
Cousins watching a movie while we were visiting for Thanksgiving
Claire helping me get the lights on our Christmas tree
Addison found some tinsel garland and ripped it up to decorate the cupboard handles. It didn't last long as the little pieces were falling all over the place.
Had a bout of sickness going through the house the last week or so...Claire was obviously resting comfortably.
We got new couches! Our sectional was ripped, cracked, sagging and a mess. We hadn't had it that long, so we were super disappointed that it just was junk. But these new couches are SUPER comfy. We love them.
Claire thought she was feeling better and went to school. When she got home she laid down and fell asleep again.
I fell off a chair trying to hang up birthday decorations for Addison...it hurt.
We got a HUGE snow storm. 6" in one day!
That same day, Brielle and Claire had a performance for the singing group they are in. It's basically a kid's show choir, they sing and do choreography. They performed at a Christmas festival, and are performing at a retirement center next week. They LOVE it and did a great job.
Leaving the performance, the snow was really coming down.
Molly wanted me to take her picture and Addison joined in on the fun.
Our elf on the shelf decided to copy Miley Cyrus...poor confused elf.
Had to make rolls for a Christmas party...learned the hard way that my convection setting on my oven doesn't work. The first batch I did on regular for 12 1/2 minutes...second batch I decided to try the convection to see if it would more evenly bake them (the first got a little more done on the bottoms). This was after 11 minutes. I would say that the experiment was a failure. Thankfully the party was cancelled because it was supposed to be outside and it's just too darn cold, so I don't have to immediately try and whip up another batch.
Addison caught the dreaded bug and kept falling asleep on the couch. So over being sick!
And that is that...caught up a little more. :)
