Practice Round

This Saturday Trevor's day dressed up as Santa for a Christmas party. We used this as a test to see how the girls would react to the "real" Santa. Presley did great, she was more interested in the jingle bells Santa was holding then who was holding her. It took Peyton awhile to warm up. She likes to watch Santa, but doesn't want to sit with him. I finally went and sat with her. As soon as Santa offered her a candy cane, she then asked him to bring her a kitchen. We will let you know how it goes when we go see santa at the mall:)

On the way home she did say, "mom and dad, that Santa is nice guy" We are hoping she will remember that in a few days when we see him again.

Zoo Lights

Last night we ventured out to Zoo Lights. The kids loved it and the weather was great! Peyton's favorite part is the talking giraffe. She thought it was so cool that the giraffe knew her name:) We have done zoo lights the last 3 years and have made it a tradition in our home. We definitely reccommend taking the family.

Just Playing Around

Here some pictures of the girls playing.

Presley looks nervous......
still not quite sure....
And here is why!

The Perfect Tree

Today we picked out our Christmas tree! Here are some pictures of us on the hunt, finding the perfect one, and then it decorated. And this is Peyton's tree and nobody's elses.....just like everything else in the house:) We are getting excited, only a few weeks to go.

Alittle blurry but you get the point:):):)

One Long Day!!!

Well we had a very long day. It started with Peyton going to the dentist, then heading next door to the doctor (Peyton's 2 year check up and Presley's 4 month), then off to the Ronald McDonald House to feed the families. We are exhausted as we head into Thanksgiving.......oh this is such a busy time of year.

Peyton was a little sketchy of the dentist but overall did pretty well. I finally got her to cooperate and sit in the chair and then daddy walks in and she looses it. Luckily, her teeth look great and we didn't need to get them cleaned.

The doctors appointment was hectic. The good news was that both girls are in perfect health and are growing strong. The bad news is that shots hurt. Peyton went first and was very brave. Presley had to get 4 shots so hers hurt a little longer:( Presley is weighing in at 14 pounds 11 ounces (what a meatball!!) and is in the 95% for height.

I can't believe how big she is getting!

After the appointments we headed downtown to the Ronald McDonald House to feed the families. We made chili. Peyton was a huge help and made some friends too. Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Kevin had fun stirring the chili as well. We finally made it home around 8:00 just in time for the Bachelor and Peyton's second wind!!! I don't know where kids get their energy but Trevor and I were so tired.

This is just a picture of Presley. I thought I would post it since it was on my camera.

Trick or Treat

Well Halloween 2007 was a huge success and we are finally starting to come down from our sugar high!!! We had a busy afternoon and night making sure all the grandparents and close friends got to celebrate and see the girls in costume. Peyton was a blast to trick or treat with. She thanked every house and was so grateful for all the candy they gave her. This made trick or treating a long process, but I am proud that my two year old is using her manners:) Presley, was very mellow and I think she thought the whole process was a little overrated.....until next year when she is able to move around. All in all we had a nice safe Halloween and look forward to do it again next year.

I have know idea how to rotate this picture.
