Merry Christmas

Mady making sure zach knows how to open his gift...
Mady was so excited to open dora jammies christmas eve
Ashlyn got dora jammies too
Mommy said say REINDEER POOP...that's why they are all laughing.
In there new jammies
Ashlyn loves to help make cookies
Mady likes to do it from a distance so she doesn't get messy...
Zach wanted to do one of each!
Ashlyn decorated this cookie all by herself...do you like it!
Mady was excited to see that santa ate the cookies and drank the chocolate milk (which ashlyn suggested so santa can stay fat she said)
Zach still hasn't put this toy down...it is the coast guard made out of legos, wil and him spent 2 hours putting it together.
Mady got elmo's restaurant...it is so fun to see her and ashlyn speak into the microphone...daddy your order is ready
Mady said MINE all morning after every gift she opened...
Zach still playing with the coast guard legos.
This is where you can find ashlyn and daddy on any given day...(NAPPING), but today they were using their new christmas blankets that santa brought. And ashlyn hasn't asked for her ratty old blanket once since... and if you know ashlyn, you know that this is a HUGE step for her.

This is what we did christmas night, watched monster house and ate fettuchini alfredo and garlic bread in front of the TV. We had a great christmas and hope that you did too!

Getting Ready

Ashlyn is going to be in the Upland Parade today at 5 and we have spent most of the morning...getting ready! If you know anything about me you know that I don't love most crafty things except vinyl because it is simple...so what better way then to wrap the wagon in christmas wrapping paper, then put vinyl sayings on it! We even wrapped a box and put it inside for ashlyn to rest her back up against. We are so excited because Ashlyn has been excited for weeks...It should be a fun night. Ashlyn and I have to wear Blue Jeans, matching white long sleeve shirts, with black Dance Dynamics t shirts over them, and white tennis shoes. I'll post more pictures after the parade, but this is what our wagon turned out like!

Knotts Berry Farm

Four years ago my family started a tradition...going to Knott's Berry Farm the day before Thanksgiving. It is never crowded, we usually have great weather, and it is just a fun thing to do! My sister and her family were able to come along this year, and my Grandpa...we even took him on a few rides!

Zach's favorite was the sierra sidewinder ( A big roller coaster)

Ashlyn's favorite was lucy's tug boat and the cotton candy she said

Mady's favorite was definitely NOT the log ride...her and I got soaked. She loved everything else that she got to ride though!
