More December...

So what else did December bring? Well, we decorated the tree...





The girls modeled last year's Christmas dresses. Ellie was sick on Christmas Sunday, so we couldn't get a pic of their dresses that day. And with church at 9 am this year, we have yet to be ready early enough to take pics of them on the Sundays they both wear them. One of these days...



And it snow. A lot. Which makes our little family smile.

Pizza & Movie Night

Somehow I missed posting about Gracie's Pizza & Movie Night. I guess that's the problem with having two cameras and not downloading the pics regularly.

Gracie talked about wanting her friends to come over for several months before she took things into her own hands and started telling her friends she was having a pizza and movie night. After a few of their moms asked me about it, I decided we might as well make it happen. So in November, Gracie had five of her favorite friends over. And of course our little Ellie Bean joined in on the fun. I'm pretty sure she thinks she is 4-years-old too.

The girls had a pizza picnic, and then we started the movie. About 20 minutes into it, there were no little girls left in the living room. They had all moved upstairs where they played dress up and took turns being patients in the hospital (the recliner in Ellie's room). Occasionally one of the girls would wander downstairs to grab something from the gobs of candy in the kitchen.

It was a great night that ended with NO tears (quite a feat with seven little girls together for three hours) and all smiles!
