Poor Thing

She was a little too excited for free time at preschool and fell into the lego table. She was so sweet and so brave. As soon as we got to the InstaCare and they put a numbing solution on it, she was happy to watch cartoons and was loving the attention. She even got a popsicle! Lucky her. And she got a banana split when we were all done.
She did blame me for it happening though. I wasn't even there. #1 I wasn't there, #2 I apparently put the wrong shoes on her this morning. But thinking about it now, I think she put her own shoes on and didn't get them on all the way and that is what made her trip. Oh well, she is better and happy now.
The sweetest thing of the day was her little BFF from preschool brought her a "Get Well" gift this afternoon. I was so sad that Miss Belle was sleeping when they came over, she would have loved to see her friend.

Just for funnzzies

We were bored so this is what we did.

The kids don't know the meaning of do it at the same time, so just as Dawson's was getting big, Cora's was on its way out. Oh well, it was fun the whole 2 minutes we played.

Papa Turned Sixty

  

This weekend my papa turned the big 6-0! It's a little weird. But we had a great time with my family and I hope gramps had a happy day.

Oh it was so cute!

This morning while getting ready for school the subject of earrings came up between Cora and I. So I suggested she ask daddy if she could get her ears pierced. I figured he would say no because he was so against Cait getting hers done. But, he said sure and so after school we went to Walmart and now Little Miss has cute Minnie Mouse earrings. I love it and I think she looks so sweet.

 Before the shock.

After the shock. She was so stunned she didn't say anything for a minute. She looked like she was about to cry, but held her own and did very well.

Once she saw herself in the mirror she was fully recovered. She is so excited to show Caitlin. It will be super cute when big sister gets home.

Christmas was AWESOME!

We had a really great Christmas. Of course it came and went way too fast.  The kids were spoiled and so was I (and David too, he just won't admit it). 

 Okay, these don't look like happy children on Christmas morning, so I must explain. David had a plan to catch Santa Claus. They wanted nothing to do with the plan, but Daddy insisted anyway. Well of course we didn't catch  Santa, but for even trying, he left nothing but coal in their stockings. Cait and Cora were devastated. Dawson was just confused because he was sure that the stockings were just in the living room. Lucky for them, they have cool parents, cause the stockings were just in the living room with the rest of the loot.

Cora's favorite toy, Willa. I thought she would only kind of like this Fijit but she loves it.

 My favorite picture of the morning. I know you can't tell what is in that box, but Cait knew exactly what it was just looking at the end. It was another American Girl doll. Marie-Grace is her name and she is very cute. And Cait loves her.

Dawson wanted army guys for Christmas, so that is what he got. He got the base and two packages of soldiers.

Zoo Lights

We were supposed to go ice skating last night but daddy couldn't go with us,  so we hit Zoo Lights instead (much easier with just me and the three kiddo's). I think the kids had a good time. It was really cold and there were far too many teenagers there. I honestly think they were on a field trip at 7 pm cause I heard an older guy tell them that their parents would have to come get them. Who takes kids on a field trip at night? Lame! And teenagers are rude. There were all these little kids that wanted to look at the tigers and the older teenagers would just step right in front of the littles.
Anyway, We had fun. There were still a few animals to see, like this little owl. It was asleep and Dawson was totally miffed because it is supposed to be nocturnal so why wasn't it awake?
So here a few pics just for pics sake.

Oh Christmas Tree!

We have had a bit of fun this last week with our Christmas Advent Calendar. I will give you the low down of activities through my experiments with my new toy.

Monday: Cait's Piano Recital. I didn't take one of her playing because I was doing a video, but this works.

Tuesday: My nephew Evan's band recital. He looks so cheery doesn't he?

Wednesday: We wrapped presents that the kids are giving to each other. 

Thursday: We read the story of Hansel and Gretel and then made our own little yummy house.

Friday: We went to see the lights at Temple Square. I really enjoyed using my camera here. I was able to get nice pictures of the lights that I have never been able to capture before.
