After a discussion about the human body...," I don't think I would want to be a person's uvula."

Christmas morning

Checking out a new Bella Sara card

Hee, hee - sucking on a candy cane while opening a present. What could be better?

The Mittins kitten liked the trash bag as much as the new cat bed :-).
In case you can't tell.... this is the cats, exploring and enjoying the presents. Also, the dog keeping an eye on them.
Miss Rosie-Posie, ready to dig into her stocking. Keegan and Kelsey were whispering in their room at 4:00 am (!!!!!!!!!,) hoping to get up soon!

Keegan with a new placemat :).

Good old Caitlyn with her stocking. This was before the room was destroyed, haha.

Caitlyn Quote

Bill, looking at Keegan's new almanac -I was just reading about Marco Polo and wondering if it would be interesting to read about him.

Caitlyn - Well, you just were. Was it?

Bwa, ha, ha. She is so my daughter!

Labor of Love

Sweet Kelsey wanted to give Brooklin her very own Christmas present. She found a sippy cup that holds a cross-stitch design, bought it with her own money, and asked me to teach her how to sew it. She chose just the right colors and designs, then spent a lot of free time sewing it. She worked so hard and it turned out adorable! It looks even cuter in the cup. What a sweetie, making a special gift for another sweetie. Love her!!!!

Kelsey Quote

After working on her first cross-stitch project, " I am impressed with myself."

I have to admit, I was, too. :)

More snow!

We love snow - myself included!

It is so exciting to have a good snow before Christmas!

Keegan sliding backwards This was a dry snow, not too deep overall, but it blew into some very deep (for us) drifts.

♫ If everybody had an ocean ♪♪♫

Or a snowboard :)

I was impressed Keegan could ride part of the way on her feet.

It has been soooooo cold. The girls are wearing lots of layers, but they still don't stay out too long. It is totally worth it, though.Hoping for lots more this winter. Snow makes us smile ☺.

Lol

Lol - the pictures don't do this justice -

This was poor Caitlyn, trying to put lights on the Christmas tree

while the cats were trying to attack her and the light strands, both.

It was quite amusing if you were an observer.

Keegan and Kelsey Quotes

Playing with little dolls.....

Keegan, "Well, hello, laddie"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kelsey, "....then yours heard lots of screaming and yelling and there was another food fight."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keegan, "That's quite enough of that, laddies."
Kelsey, "But mine's not a laddie. It's a girl."
Keegan, "That's quite enough of that laddies and lassies."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Keegan, "...and before that you never knew how angry elves could get!"
