Week Before Christmas!

Here are some random I Phone pictures from the week before Christmas while G was out of school! These are the days I love when we don't have alot going on and can stay at home and play or just get out and visit with friends! I feel like time is flying by and I just wish I could slow it down! The girls are growing fast but they are both so much fun! Enjoy!

My heart!

My friend Amy finds the cutest ideas and she found this one on a blog I think! She made this Christmas tree out of felt and I made the ornaments out of felt too! I stuck the tree on the wall with some sticky tack in the playroom and the girls were able to "decorate" the tree! G had fun rearranging the ornaments and I think I'm going to add some more stuff next year! Lillie had fun just taking them off and walking around with them! Either way it was a cute little idea!
This is how Lillie spends most of her time! Strolling around with some sort of lovie in her stroller! She still loves her baby dolls and stuffed animals!

Gracie loves to perform and dance here at home! While on break she pretended like she was putting on the Christmas Pageant like the one we did at the beginning of December! She mainly pretended she was Mary(like in the pictures) but also changed roles to an angel and the director! Watch out Mrs. Amy...you might have some competition for your job!:)

Sissy didn't want to be left out either!

We also had picture time everyday at the end of her practices (this went on for about four days straight!:)). She would ask me to walk around the house and take pictures of her in different spots! This was quite the production but kept her very well entertained!!

My baby is getting so big! This picture is dark but she brought me the headband and bracelets she is wearing so she could dress up!:)

While putting on her pretend Christmas pageant Gracie also made us all goody bags! (Mrs. Amy did this for them at the real pageant too:)) This one was Lillie's. She did this all by herself and I thought it was cute! It has a Christmas napkin, candy cane and passy!:)

Daddy wasn't home but he got one too after work! I laughed when he opened it because I didn't know what she had put in it! There was an orange, candy cane, napkin and gingerbread cookies in the Ziploc bag! G has become more independent and gets her own snacks and knows her way around the kitchen! This is new for her and she has taken it and runs with it!:)

One morning G had fun painting with her new paints and pictures from a friend's birthday party!

We went back to see Santa with some friends while G was out of school! Notice who is missing? We got close to Santa and Lillie put the death grip on me! Can't blame her! We had a good first experience because she didn't know what she was getting in to but now she knows and wasn't having it!

This is Gracie and her sweet little friends Cailyn and Zoe!

We met up with the Purdy's and a few other friends happened to be there! The boats were a hit with the kids!

The people told me to just put Lillie down and see what she would do for the picture! This was what she did!:)

Lillie found a new seat one morning on her choo choo train!

Gracie made her and Lillie a picnic snack one morning! I just love these sweet times being at home with the girls!

The Friday before Christmas I had to do some last minute shopping at the mall! Craig came home early so I could go and I took G with me while Lillie napped at home! We had a fun time together! She was my little shopping buddy and I treated her to a smoothie and a ride on the escalator! Oh the things that make a little girl happy!:)

She wanted to pose by the huge tree they had at the fountain!
