SNOW BUNNIES

Mommy had a meeting in Flagstaff so Grandma Vicki came along for the trip to let the girls play in the snow. They dropped Mommy off and went in search of snow. Grandma Vicki said it took her longer to bundle them up than the time they actually spent in the snow. They took about two steps, fell, and cried to go back in the car. So they went shopping at the Flagstaff Farmer's Market. Shopping for Isabelle and food for Madee.

Paci fairy

The time finally came when the Paci fairy came into the house in the middle of the night and STOLE all of Madee's paci's last Friday night. She was heartbroken for a while. It has been a long week and she has only asked for it once. It actually was easier than I imagined. About two weeks ago we told Madee the paci fairy was coming and she freaked out; screaming, hitting, throwing whatever she had in her hands. Thankfully we told her while she was in the car seat! In the end, we are Paci free...we hope!

Oh the days

It is so amazing to watch my girls grow up so fast right in front of my eyes. They are learning to do so much on their own. Soon I will be able to sleep in and they will be making me breakfast. For now, I think I will stick to combing Madee's hair; that is one she hasn't quite mastered yet!

Freckles!

Both girls were finally able to tell Daddy they wanted a kitty. Mommy said that is all she wanted for Christmas. We now welcome Freckles, our stripped kitten into our home. She is 3 months and full of love. She tolerates both girls very well and even lets them pet her...occassionally. Isabelle is having a great time telling Madee what is mean and not mean when playing with the kitty.
If you are wondering why Isabelle named the kitten Freckles, it is because both her imaginary dog and cat were both named Freckles too. Even if it lookes like the name doesn't fit, it surely does!

Disneyland

The trip to Disneyland with Grammy and Grandpy was a SUCCESS. The dinner with the princesses came as a big surprise to both girls. Isabelle just thought that Ariel was going to cook our dinner; she had no idea she would see FIVE princesses. Each time they came to our table Isabelle and Madee both jumped out of their seats to get their picture taken with each one. Below are a few of the good ones. More to come later Madee LOVED Snow White, she kept trying to touch her face.

A big hug from her first princess love
Madee was just so amazed to see them all. Isabelle acted like a pro telling Madee how to stand and even talking to them!!!

Name change

Isabelle came to the conclusion last week that she needed to change her name because it doesn't describe who she really is. Now she would like to be referred to as "Isabelle Hope GIRL"! Maybe she'll understand one day.

Can we go to Eattle tomorrow then

Isabelle's favorite best friend cousin (her words) came back to town to visit and they had sleepover at Grammy's house. They played, made gingerbread houses, went in the coozie, watched movies, and I am sure ate a whole lot of sugar! Even though she was so happy that she got to see Audrey, she refused to give her a real hug when I picked her up. Not sure why, but she wouldn't. Of course the minute we pulled out of the driveway she wanted to go back and hug her again. She also wanted to go to "Eattle" and have a sleepover at Audrey's if she couldn't come to our house. AWWW I love her so much!
