More trampoline

So the girls got all dressed up to go out and jump in the snow. They were slipping and a sliding all over the snow covered trampoline. It looked like lots of fun and even Chloe went out. She is not a fan of the snow but she loves being with her sisters. I love the trampoline already it will provide hours of entertainment for the kids.

It's a pillow, it' a pet, it's a pillow pet and more

Can I say pillow pets are the root of all evil?? I am jealous that I did not invent this $20 toy. It seems every kid wants one and we bought 5! Well really we bought three "cuddle pets" off the Internet from Amazon and were ripped off. The lady bug looked good, the bunny was alright, the tiger was horrible. But we figured the kids would never know better and were going with it. Until we got the presents from my aunt and she got just Chloe a pillow pet which is a great gift for her considering how many toys she sleeps with. But now we are feeling guilty Emily could measure her lady bug to Chloe's and size does matter with pillow pets. So we ventured out on Dec. 23 to find pillow pets. We got lucky and found a unicorn and a panda.
The joys of having three girls where everything you buys should be in three equal portions. We try with some things but there will not be three drum sets, lets clear that up now.

Suprise ... Snow, NO...Trampoline.

Watch the video Michael had the great idea of wrapping the window so they could un wrap it to see the trampoline. Well it snowed that night so everything was covered in snow. Listen to the video Ashley thinks Nana brought SNOW she does NOT even see the trampoline Emily does though. It was AWESOME to see their faces with the trampoline our back yard is a huge play ground now and I love it!! Who wants to come play??

There is also the video of Chloe eating tick tacks and then spitting them out all over the floor. Santa always brings candy, Michael's idea not mine. At least we got smart and no more chocolate coins anymore.

DRUMS

Ashley is the one who wanted the drums. They were her gift, since Emily got a bookcase and lots of art supplies. Although they are required to share the drums. Chloe is going to give her a good run for the drums she loves them too.

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning is lots of fun, messy, over whelming and LOUD. The girls loved opening all their presents they got everything they could have wanted and more. Emily made a Christmas list this year at school a little strange I thought they were not suppose to talk "Christmas." But we did get everything on the list because there was only four items on the list!! It was so cute she spelled everything on her own and did pretty good too. Book shelf she spelled "boocshf" not bad is i must say. Ashley really wanted those drums and it worked out that a Friend of mine had a new set for $50 less then what they would normally cost!! I will just post some more pictures a couple of videos.

The loot (before)

The stocking are hung on the chimney with care... and all the packages are set up ready to go. Remember Santa does not do much around here but momma, dad and Nana were busy for a good couple of hours. Some how the girls still think everything comes from Santa. Until they ask who got me this and I reply with me!!!

Anyway we went over board again. When will we ever learn. Emily loves it Ashley was super over whelmed but good times anyway. Next year I want to do a smaller Christmas besides the girls have e v e r y t h i n g!! I could not imagine what else they could need by now. I am thankful that we could afford so much this year. God has been good to us I will say that. We are so blessed with a healthy family, and that is the best gift.
