Back to Bethlehem and a snowy day

The live Nativity 2009. This seriously is the coolest thing! I'm glad we've made it a tradition. This was Elsie's favorite part...seeing baby Jesus. If you look closely you can see Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus behind us.

This was Addie's favorite part. You may recall me mentioning earlier that Addie loves animals (the whole fair experience). She loved these little lambs. She kept baa-ing. Elsie was laughing at this picture because "Ads is touching the sheep's bum Mom".

Addie in front of the camel. Elsie wouldn't even sit there for a picture because it was too close to the camel. "It might try and get me Dad". (again, you may recall the Fair experience when Elsie thought the goat was going to eat her scarf)

The first snowman of the year!

Getting ready for the snow.

Addie was a good sport. I had her ready well before Elsie finally got her act together. Ads just got a car to play with and waited.

No more naps for Elsie

So we ditched naps for Elsie. She was taking a nap in the afternoon but was then staying up too late at night. So sadly I stopped putting her down. Well the girl needs her sleep and many days she falls asleep, mostly on the couch while she's playing or watching t.v.

This is by far the funniest spot she's fallen asleep at. She was out playing in the snow (hence the entire snow outfit) and needed dry gloves. I told her they were in the back of the Jeep. Quite some time had passed and we couldn't find Elsie. I went out through the garage to see if she was on the side of the house and saw the driver's side door open. I just figured she had forgotten to close it when she got the gloves. I involved Tyler in the search and went back to check the Jeep. There she was totally zonked out in the driver's seat full snow clothes...but no dry gloves! Tyler and I laughed so hard.

Bottom line...the girl needs her sleep!

Addie playing

While Elsie is at school, Addie has all the toys and the playroom to herself. I love this, on the table and all. I had to take this picture from the back...the dolls in chairs and the baby in a bed in a bed. She's a crack up.

Thank heavens for the overflow drain

Yet another reason Tyler is the man for bath time... I turned the water on to fill up the tub, closed the door so Addie wouldn't fall in and finished the dishes. Totally forgot the bath was filling up. Good thing they make those overflow drains.

Not related to the overflowing bath tub, some pictures of the girls sporting their hot shades.
