Do you like green eggs and ham?

So I know it isn't St. Patrick's Day. But we had green eggs and ham for breakfast. These eggs don't have any food coloring mind you. I put the raw eggs in the blender with raw spinach and whipped them up before I scrambled them. Perfect fun way to get veggies in the morning! (PS-- if I put spinach or any other vegetable in her scrambled eggs or omelets Bryndi picks them out. This way she eats the whole thing!)

Bella caught in the act

We had some candy in the cupboard above the microwave and I came up the stairs the other day to see this! She pushed a barstool over there, climbed up on it, and then onto the microwave! Needless to say, we moved the candy.

Bella without binky.

Binky coming.

Success.

Isn't two better than one?

This little girl has curls.

Her hair does this for a while if I scrunch it with my fingers after her bath!

Fire and Snow

Richard got a fire pit for Christmas and we all roasted marshmallows in the backyard. Yum!


On another evening the girls had fun having a snowball fight with their Dad.




Peas in a pod...well, a green laundry basket anyway.

Christmas

Has it only been two weeks since Christmas? Here are the few pics I took. Terrible. I get this great new camera and I only take a few pictures! Oh well.

Bryndi loved all of her presents of course.

Bella loved hers too. I think she's making a face because she wanted to open this right away.

Holding their new babies.


We enjoyed having Daneen with us for Christmas. The girls got some fruit loops in their stockings! They were so excited! I think that was their favorite treat.

This butterfly jack-in-the-box was definitely a favorite.

Mmm. Cookies.


Christmas is almost here! Bryndi helped me make 8 dozen Christmas tree cookies last week. Well, she got to press down the cookie cutters, put the red hots on, and taste test everything anyway.
I love these girls of mine!

All I want is a sunset for Christmas

So Santa came to the Rec Center yesterday. Bryndi sat on his lap and he asked her what she wanted for Christmas. "Presents." Santa, "What kind of presents?" Bryndi, "Red presents." Santa, "Oh, and what would you like inside the presents?" Blank look. I asked her if she would like a tea set. Nod. Ask Santa if he'll bring you one. Bryndi, "Santa, will you bring me a sunset?"

Maybe I should mention Thanksgiving before Christmas is here.

This is Bryndi. She was a pilgrim for Thanksgiving.

She helped her Dad make pies.

These pie crusts were filled with the yummiest Buttermilk and Walnut pies ever!!


This is my birthday party at my parents house where we ate the pies. It was a huge success. About fifty people showed up and filled two rooms with a huge spread for dinner. Turkey, ham, rolls, yams, you name it. No expense spared for Ali's birthday party here and everyone was so thankful!
This is Bella. She had fun playing in the leaves.

This is the instigator of the leaf-frolicking.


Bella is totally attached to these two items.

Yep. Its the binky theme going on with this child.


These are the dozen roses Richard brought me last week for NO reason other than that he loves me. :)
