Happy New Year 2010!

We spent New Years Eve with friends like we have done for the last few years. There were plenty of kids for the girls to play with, so they had a blast! If I didn't check on them every now and then I probably wouldn't have seen them all night!

Juli was excited to wear her "2010" glasses that she made at school. This year both girls made it midnight and were able to ring in the new year with everyone. Livi didn't make it off the block though. I think she fell asleep before I even finished buckling Juli in.

Juli fell asleep a few blocks from home. We dropped Maddie off at Cici and Uncle Joe's. Maddie rode with us so since we had some extra room. When we got home Juli woke up hysterical because she didn't get to say goodbye to Maddie and hug and kiss her. Not to mention we would see Maddie first thing in the morning at New Years Day brunch. I told Juli we would call Maddie to say goodnight as soon as we got upstairs and got Livi in her bed.

When we called, Juli was so upset and tired that she could only whisper when Cici answered the phone. Boy did we give Cici a scare. Sorry Cici! When Juli whispered "hi cic", Denise thought it was me saying "help me". I took the phone and explain what was going on. Juli finally got to say goodnight to Maddie and all was right in the world. :-)

Holiday at Mom Mom's House

We went to Mom Mom's for a holiday party today. I only got one picture. I'm so mad at myself. I should have taken more. Livi was happy to play photographer today, so I'll have to check her camera and see if there is anything I can use on there.

Disney on Ice

Nonna gave the girls tickets to Disney on Ice for Christmas. We had great seats and they were so excited to be there. I don't think Juli took her eyes off of the show for a second. Livi started getting antsy close to the end, but she did better than I thought she would. They both can't wait to go back and see another show!











Thank you Nonna!

Santa was here!

The girls are at such a great age for Christmas. Everything is SO exciting to them. They loved ripping open all of their presents and seeing what they got. There were quite a few squeals of delight as they opened gifts. It was so fun to watch them.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve at Uncle Rick & Aunt Mary's house, as usual. It was so nice to see everyone. The girls had fun playing with Dylan and Sara. Juli made a new friend, since their neighbors came over and they have a little girl about her age. We tried to do family pictures like we always do, but the kids are all at such a tough age that we didn't really get anything good. The best ones I got are below.

Bath Hat

Livi insists on wearing a "hat" after her bath. She says, "I have to wear a hat. I like you mommy. We have to match." LOL

More Snow!

We got more snow today! This time it totaled over a foot! We went out a few times to play in it while James ran the snowblower. The girls had so much fun they didn't even want to come in. We even threw them on sleds and took a walk through the neighborhood. It was so peaceful!

School Holiday Luncheon

Today was the annual Holiday Luncheon at the girls school. They sang songs with their classes and made magic reindeer food to put out on Christmas Eve. It was very cute and we all had a good time. We even got to spend some time with Kyra and Ryan who came to see Katie's "show".

Oh Tannenbaum (since we already used Oh Christmas Tree)

Take 2... a better picture of the tree.

SNOW!

The girls were so excited to get some snow, even if it was only a little bit. They ran around, made snow angels, had a snowball fight and even played on the slide for a while.
