Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas eve we headed down town for horse drawn carriage rides. This was not just a first for the girls but for Craig and I, and while it was fun it was pretty cold out and we were glad it was a quick ride :)





Our tree all decorated and ready for Christmas morning...I had left my camera in the car and when I brought it inside the lens fogged up, I kinda like how it blurred the lights

Santa '11

One of the things I wanted to do while we were in Colorado Springs was take the girls to see the Santa there since ours isn't very Christmasy (Blue and red just doesn't say Christmas to me) While I normally am not a big fan of any Santa pics, this year's photo I LOVE!! I think it captures the girls personalities spot on!

Resurrection Rolls

Last night after church the girls and I made Resurrection Rolls to help explain the meaning of Easter to them. Since Aubrey is such a hands on learner I knew it would be a hit! There are a few different expainations that use every step to symbolize what Jesus went through but since Evvy is still kinda young I used an easier one this year.



The night before Easter you roll out bisquit dough...





Eating the dough is not required :)


Add some melted butter and Cinnimon and sugar...

"Anoint" a marshmallow (Jesus) with Butter (oil) and Cinnimon sugar (spices)...



Silly Daddy!

And wrap it in a Tomb of dough.


Then you bake it and wait till morning to find out what happened!

Halloween

This year we went to Palmdale for halloween. We carved our pumpkins after the packer game and then went trick or treating once it was dark. Aubrey was Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Evelyn was Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. Both there costumes were store bought but I made them both candy buckets to match their costumes! They both loved getting dressed up as princesses and walking around. Evvy kept saying "look, me, princess!" Aubrey wasn't talking much at this time last year, but this time she had no problem knocking on doors and saying "trick or treat!" And both of them did a great job of remembering to say "thank you". Like last year, there was a haunted house and aubrey wanted to go through it! While waiting in line, she could barely contain her excitement and was giggling like crazy! While we were in line I pointed out a teenage boy dressed as a banana and she said "I'm going to eat him up!" Silly girl, I love the crazy things she comes up with!! Once we got to the front of the line the guy at the door let the people inside know there was "little fresh meat" and they went easy on us. Aubrey loved it and probably would've been fine if it was scarier. I on the other hand am a huge whimp and was so glad they went easy on us cause I don't think I could've handled it if it was any scarier! That was our last stop and a great way to end our ToT but Aubrey was dissapointed and is already asking to go trick or treating again!

Easter Sunday

Our Easter this year was very low key! Craig had to work so it was just me and the girls. We did baskets in the morning and then headed to church. Here are some pics of them with their baskets
