Beauty Salon

Last night after giving the girls a bath they decided that they would blow dry each others hair. They had a lot of fun and giggled until Sarah had hiccups.
Abigail always has to stick her tongue out when she is concentrating.

Cute pictures

Here are some random pictures we took recently.
Sarah has been giving us more smiles than ever. I can see her mature each day. Way to go Sarah!

Here is Abigail at the park. I love this picture and I am so grateful for our new camera that allows us to take pictures while our children are moving.

The Nativity

Abigail was the co-star in the Christmas Story yesterday at school. She played the part of Mary and we were so proud of her. She did an excellent job. Abigail is such a great leader. Sarah was an angel and seemed to have more awareness than the last time she performed.

Mary smiling and waving at her captive audience.

The Holy Family.

Watch out Mary the Son of God is about to fall.

Advent Cookies

At bible study on Wednesday we decorated advent cookies. This was a big hit with the kids.
Here are our little helpers that made the cookies and cut them out. I guess Lucas thinks there are too many females in the kitchen.

Here is a picture of all the fun.

Sarah enjoying every minute of her sugar high.

Breakfast with Santa

This weekend we had breakfast with Santa at church. Abigail has been anticipating this day for since Thanksgiving. She told Sarah about everything to expect while there.
These are some of Abigail's best friends from school, Jacob and Conner.

Here is a picture of Sarah and Eli. It is not very good because Santa just walked in and Sarah is not to sure of what to think. I have always thought that they would have beautiful children if they got married.

Abigail coloring an ornament. This is the first year my kids really enjoyed the crafts. Abigail had to do all of them and even went back to make more.

Not a great picture but they enjoyed telling Santa what they wanted for Christmas. Abigail wants a baby but she is going to let Santa decide if it should have clothes and what color it should be. I guess she likes the element of surprise. Sarah asked for a pink rubber duck with pink polka dots.

Sarah enjoying the candy cane from Santa.

The girls listening to Father Joe read them the Christmas story.

After breakfast with Santa we ran errands and then went eat at Applebees. Abigail really wanted to go eat out and Sarah of course didn't. When we pulled up to Applebees she started crying because she wanted to go eat at Grandma's house. Sarah wore her scarf and her hat throughtout most of dinner.

The girls truly enjoying daddy and the valuable time they get to spend with him.

Abigail and Sarah had fun at our neighbor Landon's birthday party. It was at the Kaliedoscope Children's Museum. They were excited about the party all weekend.
Here is Abigail climbling the rock wall and loving it.

Here is Sarah climbing a smaller wall, although she wanted to be like her big sister and climb the big rock wall.

Sarah loved playing at the grocery center. Everyone else was running around or climbing the wall, but Sarah played at the grocery center for a long time.
