Merry Christmas

We had a lot of fun during Christmas.  Adrienne was not quite as into it as I thought she would be but it is always fun no matter what.  Maybe next year she will start to understand Santa Clause a little bit better.  After presents and breakfast we got in the car and went down to Lemoore to see my Sister.  We had fun with the fam and the kids.  The next day we went to their friends house to see their horses.  Next Christmas.............Adrienne gets a pony.  Yeah right!!!!

Good pals

I was looking through old pictures of Adrienne and came across this picture of Fiona and Adrienne.  It is amazing how young they were.  This was taken in July of 2010 (Adrienne was 10 months and Fiona was 2 1/2.

July 2010

December 2011

The girls are such good pals.  It is fun to look at a picture of them now and see the difference in how they look.  What has not changed is their behavior with each other.  Good buddies!!!!  They have always loved hanging out together.

Crafty if only for a day

I am not a crafty person.  I like crafty things, it just isn't in my blood.  Probably because I am not very patient.  I have this wall above the little desk in my kitchen.  It has always been very unattractive with a tattered bulletin board on it.  Even worse, the wall behind it is very yucky with a bunch of old adhesive etc.  The only thing I could think of was to do a ribbon board.  Not such a difficult task you say?  Well, I had an electric outlet and a phone jack to deal with as well.

Tada!!!  With some help from my awesome hubby, I completed what I believe to be a very nice looking ribbon board.  Don't expect any additional crafts coming out of this lady anytime soon but apparently I can pull it off if left with no other options.

Disneyland Xmas 2011

We went back to Disneyland during their Christmas celebration this year.  We went around the same time of year last year and knew we wanted to do it again.  This year was so much fun that we have decided to try and make it an annual thing.  If you haven't been to Disneyland at Christmas (it runs from mid November to early January) it is such a special time.  They have decorations galore and Christmas music blasting throughout.  Lot's of seasonal things happening throughout both Disneyland and California Adventure.  I don't know of one person who has been there at this time who has not liked it.

Adrienne and Fiona had fun the entire time.  They love spending time together and riding the rides.  Fiona is such a dare devil, riding Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.  She loved them both.  Adrienne rode the Go Gadget Coaster in Toon Town, she liked just a little but not a lot.  She really likes the Tea Cups, It's a Small World, The Little Mermaid, the Carousel, Autopia and her favorite since she was 9 months old..........Disney Junior Live!  This was the first time that we have gone to Disney where Adrienne was more aware of what was going on.  Lot's of fun!!!!

Matthew was a different story.  Just like Hawaii, he does not like being on the go.  He did not want to sleep in his stroller and would get really tired and cry a lot.  Poor little guy.  He will have more fun next year.  Thanks to Dave and Dani for being so patient and helping us out......let's just say Mommy and Daddy got to ride all of their favorite rides too!

I would spend a lot of money for those toys.

Paul calls this the Veruca Salt picture.  Dave won many prizes for Fiona.
