December wrap-up

I was a bad blogger last week.  I indulged in lots of sweets, stayed in pjs all day, let the dishes pile up in the sink, and ate way too much take-out but I built lots of Duplo castles, dressed Minnie Mouse hundreds of times, ate lots of pretend cookies, colored after every meal(and then some), danced my butt off against a 4 year old and two year old on the Xbox, and snuggled up with my little people while watching movies.  Sometimes life is better when you step away from the camera and laptop and just enjoy.  So that’s what I do every so often and hope that my mind will tuck those captured moments away for later on when the kids are too big to want to cuddle anymore. 

But good news Mom(because she is always wanting to see more pics of the girls) I did take some pictures this month and here is a quick wrap-up.

1) Nothing says Merry Christmas like Mr. and Mrs. Santamingo; 2) Christmas list made; 3) Screaming and coloring, check; 4) dress up; 5) crazy poses for Mom; 6) wiggle car used as a scoot toy; 7) Singing in the Christmas preschool program(Taylor is on bottom row, 2nd from right); 8) crazy Elf(aka Snowflake) antics; 9) new color changing star on tree thanks to hubby; 10) more dress up and posing silly; 11)Ikea shopping; 12)Daddy snuggling; 13)sidewalk decorating; 14)new hat creating(I’ll post about this in January); 15)mailbox checking; 16)goodbye party for Elf; 17)car napping; 18) cross dressing Elf tea party; 19)Santa gifts; 20)left pile jumping; 21)fun with bracelets; 22)present opening; 23)new visitors for Baby Jesus; 24)bike riding; 25)spending time with cousins; 26)Elf vs transformers marshmellow war – they really shouldn’t mess with Mommy’s coffee; 27)best road trip kid

4th Birthday

Four years ago I became a Mom.  This tiny little human came into the world and changed our world in the best way ever.  I am still trying to figure out how this little thing

and has now become our sweet little four year old.  How did she get to be four???!  We lucked out this year and were able to celebrate on her actual birthday(saves for much confusion in four year old world).  What better way to celebrate your 4th than with a Hello Kitty bounce house party.  I’m not sure if the birthday girl or little sister had more fun bouncing and sliding.

Bluebonnets

I think it’s a requirement if you a)live in Texas and b)have kids, to go get photos of the kids in bluebonnets.  Last year there wasn’t a huge population of flowers, but this year they seem to be on every corner.  A couple weekends ago I made Chris walk with us to a patch of bluebonnets near the house.(too bad it takes me until now to get the pictures up) Taylor embraced the sunshine and loved the field of butterflies and flowers.

learning about the cat claw on a bluebonnet that was laying on the ground.  I promise we didn’t pick a flower, but I will admit that I never knew about the cat claw.

Egg Hunt

We found out about a neighborhood egg hunt last minute and I was a bit worried that Lizzie might still be too small to understand the concept.  Her love for bags, or anything with a handle, came in handy.  In the 15 minutes before we left the house she had already filled it with toys and trinkets to take with her.  This girl was ready.  Taylor is an old pro at this, just not as competitive as the Lambert gene can be.  (warning: lots of photos in this post)

Taylor is the best at posing for me and looking sweet ~ Lizzie ready to start the hunt
