Happy New Year. 2011 was an interesting year, to say the least. Here's to 2012!! Happy New Year from our humble home to yours, cheers!

Tooth number two

Avery is breaking the bank this month, tooth number two has been successfully pulled out of her little mouth. Her adult tooth was growing right behind that tiny tooth and pushing it out. However, that stubborn root would not let go. Her tooth was turning black, it had to come out. Her brave (not) mommy tried to twist and pull that tooth out all day (as I was trying not to gag, who knew that my own child's wiggly tooth would freak me out). Finally, her paramedic Daddy came home and got the job done. I still maintain that I loosened it for her Dad, just saying. Anyhoo, her tooth count is now at 2, and she just told me that another one feels loose. This girl is going to have some serious cash to spend. Maybe she can lend it back to Mom, because it's looking like this girl is going to need some braces. Unless, her teeth magically go straight once all the adult ones come in??? Please tell me that is how it works, because it isn't looking good right now. Guess we'll find out when we see the dentist next month!

Avery made us a gift at school, it was a snowman ornament. She could not wait for us to open her gift!! I thought the Reindeer wrapping was the best.

Opening her Santa gift, which was barking before she even touched it. She could not believe that Santa could make her gift, so she didn't think she would really get her toy dog. That Santa is one crafty dude!

This is the train station Blair made for Brennyn.

Finally have a minute to post some pics.

Brennyn's Christmas concert.

Nothing like a cup of hot chocolate on Christmas morning!

Santa stockings, so much fun.

I am one lucky mama, so thankful for my family!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone from our house to yours!

Christmas concert time

Both girls have their Christmas concerts at school today. Brennyn's is this morning and Avery's is the repeat preformance in the afternoon. I guess most parent's don't have to see the exact same show twice, but again, most parent's don't have one child in jk (morning class) and one in Sk (afternoon class). I can't wait to see both shows, I love watching little ones sing and dance! Hopefully I will actually post some pictures on here soon.

Cookie time

The girls and I baked some fancy gingerbread people yesterday.
Don't know if I have mentioned this before, but Avery has a love for a certain Cake Boss on television (I guess I really need to cut out my reality tv watching). She looooves Buddy and his fancy, smancy cakes.

As soon as she saw me putting icing into a piping bag (okay, so it was just a zip lock bag because I don't often ice cookies or cakes) her face lit up and she took over the icing job.

Avery spent an hour icing cookies and wanted me to bake more when we ran out of cookies to ice! The girl is a natural!
Brennyn was on decoration duty, although I suspect more sprinkles found their way into her mouth than on the cookies.
