Church Christmas Program

Yes, we made it to church... Livie's feeling good... Claire's feeling TERRIBle and I am in between. We didn't take Claire to the nursery, but wanted to take Livie to Sunday school as her class was singing during church.... too cute.

They also recited 1 John 4:10 with hand gestures.





Looking forward to a new week... hopefully a new, HEALTHY week!! :)

Sick Week Continued...

Still not feeling well... YUCK, but
We worked more on our Christmas crafts...

Claire snacked...



Yea, snowmen finished... magnets on back... Check

Yes, she's watching Elf :) naked sitting on the heater :)

Sick... yuck

Livie, Claire, and I have all been sick this week.  It's just a cold, but it has made us all miserable.  We have pretty much stayed inside.... Livie however, has not had near as much trouble as Claire and I so she still went to preschool.  It was our turn to bring snacks... we brought peanut butter Rudolph the Reindeer snacks, bananas, and fruit marshmallows.  (because after all marshmallows were what Livie was most thankful for this Thanksgiving :) )


We snuggled, read, and watched lots of Christmas movies.


We also worked on Christmas crafts...



Livie's making snowmen clips for all of her grandmas and great grandmas...

We're making hand Christmas trees for ME and our grandmas...

Claire loves having her hand painted.  She says tickles tickles while giggling the entire time.

And they both love washing it off and watching the water change colors.


One day it was pretty warm and I decided the vitamin D would do us some good.


The fireplace was going... when we were ready to come back in.

There was "snow" on the ground... which the girls were ecstatic about.

We made balloon buddies... Livie kept hers warm.




Oh and did I mention what my children wanted as a snack??!! ICE pops!!

Hopefully we'll be feeling better this next week!!

Friends

We had a friend come play today... she is 2 months younger than Claire.  Last year they were in daycare together.  They had a great time!!  It was pretty funny trying to get a picture of them together.
"I chase you!"

 Cheese

 Wait are we going down a stair??

 Up?

 I'm confused...

The best part was check out Claire's Hair... she let me put hers in pigtails after I put her friends back up... Its so cute!!  We need a friend here every morning!!

Favorite Things...Library

Since staying home, Story time at our public Library has become one of my favorite things.  I've always loved books... the smell of Barnes and Noble makes me giddy!! :)  But now the library is our outing... and sometimes outlet... we all always have a good time socializing and learning...

Claire enjoys playing in the play area...

 Livie likes the computer, but the puppets are hands down her favorite part!

 Livie also loves the activities, and checking out her own books and movies.

We love the Library!!
