Christmas Lights

Off to go see the LA Temple Christmas Lights

Not to much going on this year at the temple

but pretty all the same

Christmas Decorating

This year I literally let the kids do all the decorating

Usually I am one of those people who has a "designer tree"

So letting go of that was not easy

I ended up with the best looking tree and the happiest little kids ever.

Puppy Love

Meet Kitty our poodle mix

Yes he's a dog

Kinda funny when you call him ," here kitty kitty"

And out runs a puppy!

Costumes

Alina was supposed to be a cheerleader but decided to be a punk rock fairy instead.

To be honest I cannot remember what Christian said he was going to be but as usual he didn't dress up.

I was a witch/ vampire

Rylee was Dorothy

Halloween

Making Popcorn Balls

and carving pumpkins

Happy Halloweeeny!

He's 7!

For Christian's Birthday we took him to Disneyland. I'd love to write about how we went on all the rides and had so much fun but this kid is an old man!

We literally rode Indiana jones and Pirates of Carribean and he was done.

We ate churros and popcorn and went home. We had to force him to go to eat as well.

He had fun but he's a little homebody and hates to travel further than grandma's house.

I should be happy about that right?

We love our little fuddy duddy!

Missing Tooth

he wiggled and jiggles until it finally came out...
he was excited for the toothfairy to come and come she did.
with a $1.00

Vegas Babies

Arriving in Vegas looking at all the Hotels.. they thought they were hot stuff

We took them to the M&M and Coca cola factory, the Shark Reef museum and dinner of course

then just hung out by the pool and lazy river the next day. We had a fun time with all these crazy kids we have!

Pink Cupcakes

Four years= cupcakes

Alina wanted pink ones with cherries and lot's of sprinkles.

I try very hard to make things as equal as possible... and so every year when the kids turn a certain age they get the same kind of cake as the other kids at that age.. crazy I know!

But it actually makes it a little easier for me and when they're older they won't ask why so and so had this over them...
(well i hope anyways)

Isn't she a doll?

Big shoes to Fill

Literally...

Alina and Rylee love wearing my shoes...

Good thing I have lot's of them...

Rylee is Alina's little shadow....

And Alina loves having someone to blame it on...

Rylee Chanel

She is not a smiley girl when it comes to pictures... or anything really. She's always been a very serious little girl

She's TWO and today was no exception on smiles!

Each girl has a disney princess they collect Rylee's is Belle yes she's a beauty but more so a little beast with a temper!
Hard to believe with this face!
