I have the greatest friends!

I, like many others (although most a good deal younger than me), am a fan of Twilight. The books are a great escape from the real world and the movie was a suitable personification of them. I think Robert Pattinson is dreamy. A good friend of mine from work, Racheal, suprised me with a little something this morning. It totally made my day! She jokingly put this little book together and it made me smile. It's fantastic! I have to giggle everytime I look at it, and plan on keeping it around to look at whenever I need a pick-me-up.






Oh yah, check it out. She replaced Bella's face with a little picture of me LOL.

The girls rehearse for their big break!

Snow day!

Or rather ice. We were expecting to get hit last night with a whopper of a snow storm. This was said to be rolling in around 5pm last night and lingering around today until close to 7pm. Leaving us with another 5-8 inches. What we woke up to was a wonderland of ice. Everything around was glazed in a fine sheet of glass. Lovely.
The good news, mommy has a snow day today so the peanuts and I are hanging around. It's currently 32 degrees out and raining like the dickens. This could get interesting.

Happy Birthday Babies!

First time sled riding!

Starting the 2nd year off right!

Our party last night was a blast! Friends and family came together to celebrate Addi and Payton's 2nd year. The girls were in top form, dancing, singing, and just being silly. They were up until 10pm (!) and still woke with smiles this morning. Greg and I have been truly blessed with such wonderful children. And while I'm sad to see another year fly by, the sight of my healthy, happy children fill me with such a complete feeling. God is good!

Birthday Party Madness!

 

We had the girl's big birthday party this evening. It was a blast! I'll post more tomorrow, but just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came. You guys made it a fantastic evening!

Addison's first haircut

Today we took Addi down to the local barber shop. Yes, you read that right LOL. Dave is a good friend of ours and we chose him to do the honors. She was fantastic. Not a tear, whimper or whine. In fact she made it look like so much fun, Payton just had to give it a dry run. Of course we all played along and in the end both got a sweet treat for being such good girls.

And the winner is ...

So it's Tuesday and not Sunday. However only 2 people entered my giveaway in any case LOL.

I used the coin flipper at random.org to choose the winner, (assigning heads to Collen and tails to Kristen [that being the order in which they posted]) and this is what happened.



So Collen, please email me your address and I'll ship this out ASAP! Congrats and thanks to you both for the blog suggestions!

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day...

and now, so can you!
I recieved this book in a give-away from my fantastic friend Jules at Pancakes & French Fries, and in the spirit of 'passing it on' I'm now offering it to you! It's a quick-witted, lighthearted novel that is both easy and fun to read. I finished it in a few hours and would love to share my love for reading with one of you. Sooooo ... if you are interested please leave me a comment with a link to one of your favorite blogs. I'll use a random number generator to choose the lucky book worm this coming Sunday. Good luck!

Tu-Tu's, Toys and Tables

We had a great Christmas. Lots of family time, fun toys, and great food. Now all we need is the new playroom for everything to go in right?
