Though she looks cute this was a painful lesson.

Shhh!

Holiday Harmony

Jake and I and the girls had a blast baking cookies tonight and kids didn't fight once! I think we baked and decorated for 2 and a half hours, Christmas music blasting the whole time! Happy Holidays! :)

A True Joy

I know I have mentioned this before but I still can't believe how great Giuliana has been behaving lately. Though she still has her 2 year old moments she has been so much fun to be around and she is really into the holidays and Christmas music this year. Jake and I are so grateful for our beautiful and sweet little girls.

So Grown Up

This is Isabella before her Christmas program at preschool. I couldn't get pictures of her singing because I was trying to keep a naughty 2 year old from getting into the toys and singing her ABC's while her sister's class was singing Jingle Bells. I can't believe how old she looks here.

Snowball Fight!!

Awesome Sunday

We went to the Bronco game this afternoon and had a blast. The girls were in wonderful moods and the Broncos won, who can ask for anything more?

Twister or New Dance Moves?

I can't tell you all how much fun Jake and Carolina had playing Twister on Thanksgiving. They were sore from the 2 hours of posing and my Mom and I were sore from laughing at them. We all had a great time!

My Accident

My sister Gianna wasn't able to come to Thanksgiving dinner this year because of work obligations. It's a well known fact that she's been the klutz in our family her entire life and we tease her relentlessly about it. Well on this night we were talking about how great the day had been but that we missed Gianna and hoped she wouldn't miss another holiday. I went upstairs to grab some leftovers and while putting the sauce back the darn thing fell onto the floor, exploding everywhere. Instead of helping my sister Carolina and Jake just came upstairs to laugh at me, thankfully my Mom came with her dog to help me clean up. We all felt the spirit of Gianna at that moment, except had she spilled the sauce it would have been boiling hot and dumped mostly on her and not as much on the floor. Actually, that happened! :)

Monday With the Boys

Jenn brought the boys over today and we had a blast. These little guys are so cute, and look, no oxygen! :) I just took a few because I spent most of my time snuggling with my little buddy Ben! Tristan was not happy with me. Aren't they adorable!?!
