Horizontal

A couple of weeks ago, Elise was really sick.  She was up several times during the night so I finally just let her sleep in our bed.  By morning, she was completely horizontal with her head in Andrew’s ribcage and her feet in mine…this is why our kids sleep in their own beds.

Forever Lazy

Andrew got a Forever Lazy for Christmas, but I’ve pretty much managed to hijack it.  I do think that they are missing out on a huge potential buying audience by not advertising to the pregnant women of America.

Christmas with the Files Crew

No Files’ Christmas is complete without a theme, and this year was no different.  This year’s theme was “Christmas Movies” and everyone was suppose to dress up as a character from a popular Christmas movie.  So, here’ the line up…

From left to right: Mom: The Ghost of Christmas Present (Muppet Christmas Carol), Lesley: Doris Walker (Miracle of 34th Street), Elizabeth: Snow on Christmas morning (every holiday movie), Preston: Ralphie (A Christmas Story), Katherine: Mrs. Clause (lots of Christmas movies), Alan: John McClane (Die Hard), Natalie: The Leg Lamp (A Christmas Story), Andrew: Joseph (The Nativity Story), and Dad: George Bailey (It’s a Wonderful Life).

Good times!

Christmas morning

Cinderella

Audrey loves to dress up like Cinderella and do chores…um, okay!

Baby’s 1st pile of leaves

I’m pretty sure that this is the most fun a 3 year old can have for free.

Halloween Princesses

The girls had such a great time dressing up and trick-or-treating this year!  We walked around the neighborhood with several of our friends and their precious kiddos, and had a fabulous time!  Now, what to do with the 40 lbs of candy that they collected…

Princess Planking

First of all, I love the whole “planking” craze and think that it is hilarious.  People have too much time on their hands.

Anyway, my girls have invented their own form of planking that I like to refer to as “Princess Planking”.  Without any warning or notice, they will throw themselves on the ground/couch/bed/grass and pucker up and wait to be awakened, by a kiss, from a prince (daddy), mom, sister, or anyone that is around.  The best part is that they don’t really seem to care if they are at home or in public…princess planking is fair game at any time and any place.

Baby Blues

People comment all the time on Elise’s blue eyes, and ask who she looks the most like.  Well, meet “Big Al”, my little brother.

 

My baby is 2!

I just love this little girl, and I love how much she loves cake!
