Three lips of tulips

Last night the Murphy's joined the danners for a walk to look at our neighborhood lights. Adam and Naomi rode their bikes and were tearing off. We walked over the Bagby School to check out the Kindergarten class in preparation for September (!!) on the wall was a collage of tile that made a picture. Naomi said "look mommy, three lips" and pointed to some flowers. I said, "no they are called Tulips.' to which she replied no look b/c they have 3 petals! it was cute!

Christmas is around the corner!

It has been a tough week or so with stomach flu, that got everyone except Barry. Thankfully it happened the week before Christmas and we are mostly better. The girls are ready for Christmas. naomi is DYING to open presents. She wrote a letter to Santa:

Dear Santa,
Please bring me an Ariel singing doll, sparkly glue, a harmonica, Snow White doll, feetsie pajamas and things to do art. Paige would like anything for Babies, cars and pajamas. Thanks you, I love you!

Naomi and Paige

The Ariel singing doll has been a tough one, Naomi saw it in a grocery store in October and was upset that i wouldn't buy it. i told her she had to wait until Christmas, not thinking she would remember! i have had the hardest time finding one, i finally ordered one on Amazon and it hopefully will arrive 12/22..fingers crossed.

Paige is really enjoying playing with Baby dolls and so she will be easy to please, it is hard b/c she has all Naomi's hand me downs.

Naomi and Paige at the Christmas Tree Farm!

Christmas is coming!

This weekend we completed out Christmas decorations. Last weekend Barry put the lights up outside, and the swirly Christmas trees. There are a lot of lights!!! This weekend we went to Castle Rock farm and picked out a tree. It was so fun. We went with the Murphy's and the kids had a lot of fun running in between the trees trying to find the perfect tree. We took a bunch of pictures, and tried to get that perfect shot for our Christmas card, not sure I got it. After sawing down our tree we enjoyed hot chocolate and snacks, then home to decorate. Our tree looks beautiful and Naomi had a lot of fun finding decorations from years before that she had made! She is proud to have found "the perfect tree" and congratulates herself for picking such a good one. Pictures to follow!

This is one of the only pictures I have of all of us, taken in July 2007 at Paige's 1st birthday party!

Wow I have figured out how to upload pictures to my blog!

Paige at 1 year old! So happy with just the one tooth!
