Week 51 & 52 ...

Merry Christmas love, The Anderson's...

Christmas Dresses...

I was so excited about the girls Christmas outfits this year. My friend Rachel and I made these cute skirts for our girls. It was my first attempt at making skirts and it wasn't too bad! We got a group shot before we left for church...don't we look cute!

SHOUT...

My sweet Sophie had her signing recital this week. She has been looking forward to it because she loves to perform...I wonder where she gets that? The second she got on the stage she started blowing kisses to the audience until the music started. She was just greeting her loyal fans!

Her group is called My Kind of Music by Karen Stevens. She is so great and chose some really fun songs for the kids.

I just love watching her perform!

Rhodes Family Christmas Party...

We had our annual Rhodes Family Christmas Party. We had a great turn out and tons of fun. Uncle Mike brought lots of fun "Reindeer Games" Sophie was so excited to play. Jaylee was really into this one.

This one was super messy! Just had to put this one of cute Bowen

Laynie was so excited to see Santa. He asked her if she had been good this year. She said "Yes I go pee pee in the potty" She is so silly!

My cute Sophie!

Even Timmy got to sit on Santa's lap...I think he has been a good boy this year.

Week 50...

up on the house top...

Sophie had her dance showcase. She was so excited to perform for us.
She loves taking dance with 2 of her best friends Meg and Cara.

Up on the House Top

My new favorite tradition...

Meet Jingle....he is my new favorite friend. Santa sent him to our house to keep and eye on my kiddos. He reports back to Santa every night to tell him if they were naughty or nice. Jingle really comes in handy when a little girl throws a fit or wont eat her dinner. Jingle came with this cute book. If you want Santa to send you an elf like Jingle go to nearest Hallmark store.

Let It Snow...

7:45am- Sophie running into our room screaming "It snowed!"
8:00am- Breakfast
8:15am- Running around trying to find all the girls snow clothes
8:30am- Out in the snow!

The girls had so much fun playing in the snow even though neither one of them have snow boots or pants that fit. I guess I need to go shopping!The neighbor kids were all out playing too.

Jumping on the tramp with snow is not easy!

My BIG kid Bodi was so excited to use his snow blower. He even got into jumping on the tramp.

Before....After

Bodi was getting sick of our old white sink. I was getting sick of scrubbing it every single day with comet so it looked some what clean.
Before... After. I actually got excited to do dishes!

SYTYC Dance..Dance..Dance..Dance...

A bunch of us galls from then neighborhood went to SYTUCD last night. It was super fun! I just love watching to show, but seeing the dances live is so much better! This year we had great seats and could see every things so well. I was so excited to see my favorite Kent! Here he is with Allison.

Can't wait for next season!

Week 44...

Boo to You...

Pumpkin Carving

Bodi took pumpkin carving to a whole other level this year...power tools. Sophie wasn't liking the gooey stuff.

Laynie sat by Bodi the whole time with her little hand on his shoulder. She was "helping"

Laynie got a kitty face and Sophie got a witch hat.

Laynie was super excited!

Halloween

We started the night with Bodi's favorite chili and bread sticks.

The girls picked out their own costumes this year. Laynie was a perfect little frog

Sophie was our sweet chicken!

The whole day was perfect until it came time to go trick or treating. It rained all night. Daddy had the best idea to take the girls out in the covered wagon.

We are still in a sugar comma. Until next year...
