I stinky

While watching TV, Alivia got it into her head that she could float away in a bubble. For the last month, she has refused to take baths. We can only clean her in the shower with the lower shower head on. She has been scared, so Santa thought it best to bring her new bath toys.

That did it! She came running through the kitchen yelling: "I stinky. I toot. I need bath." all the way to the bathroom. It was quite cute.

She's taking regular baths now. All I needed to do was be smarter than a two year old.

Sweet Sibling Moments

As Myles and I were still trying to get some morning sleep, we heard the following conversation:

"Here Liv, I'll put a clip in your hair. Now where is your clip bag? I'll make a ponytail. It might hurt at first."

As he was doing her hair, we heard:

"Oh, Christmas tree, Oh, Christmas tree, how lovely are thy branches." to which Liv replied:

"Look a booger!"

Not to be deterred, Addison continued doing her hair.

"I'll put a bow in your hair, just like Minnie Mouse"

"Purple one, too," replied young Liv.

Addison continued with:

"Oh Livia, Oh, Livia, how lovely is thou hai-air. (hair)" Let's show Mom."

It's up!

The tree is up, and we have sung 'most every night. There are presents, and the kids can't wait. Hurry up, Christmas!

He did it!!

We are on our 5th day of snow here in Seattle. What a great thing for all the kids. Addison's had two snow days, so he has had plenty of time to learn to ski in our backyard. I thought that these needed to be shared, even though they aren't the best quality.

Here's Addison coming up the hill.



Here's Addison comin down. He practiced and practiced until he could do it without falling.

Thanksgiving was lovely, and here are the wonderful people I am most thankful for:

Well, the tree is up, and we're decorated for another Christmas season. Ho Ho Ho!
