CHRISTMAS MORNING:
We had a great day as usual. We were able to stay home and everyone visited throughout the day. The girls were spoiled rotten as usual.

CHRISTMAS EVE:
TAYLOR AND ZOE GOT THEIR NEW MATCHING PJ'S. WE HAD A NICE EVENING AT MOM AND DAD'S. THEN HOME TO PUT OUT THE REINDEER FOOD AND COOKIES FOR SANTA.

"The Gingerbread House"

every year Taylor and i make a gingerbread house. this year was Zoe's first experience. as you can tell they did great!

Just a cute picture of Taylor. Jason told her she was supposed to be in 1st grade not 12th.

"THE PLUG"
Well last night the plug fairy came and took Zoe's plug while she slept. I thought this would be difficult for her because she was slightly more attached than Taylor was when she was little. For example - she was found many times in her room with it. I would walk in and she would be sitting in a corner with her hands over her mouth or in her bed under the covers "getting a hit". She was quite addicted. She did well today without it for her nap. I am very proud of her. Only one breakdown when she went to bed. She laid there rubbing the place where it usually is and said "my plug it's gone, I need it". Poor little thing. Parenting can be so hard.

This weekend we celebrated Zoe's 3rd birthday. What a great day beautiful weather and great family and friends. Thanks to everyone for sharing Zoe's day!

This is Taylor's first school project. I am so proud of her. Thanks to Grandma McCarty for the artsy scrapbooking skills;)

Started Trick or Treat early with a visit to my grandma's. She was happy to see her little Dora the Explorer and Pink Power Ranger. Thanks for the candy!!!!

PUMPKIN CARVING!!
Last night we carved pumpkins. Here is the result. Taylor did a great job with plenty of help from her Nana. Zoe did a great job too, with help from her dad.
I was all about the pumpkin seeds and cooking them. I wait all year to do this. DELICIOUS. This year i burned them:( So sad. Oh well, better luck next year.

Our little Zoe started school this year. She is a little young so she will be in preschool for 3 years. She did great at first. then every day i took her she cried and the teachers had to peel her off my steering wheel and take her into the school. Jason took her one morning and she ran in with no problem. Since then she goes in fine for me. I guess it was a little mommy separation problem:)

WOW, only one year since i started this blog and i haven't updated it once. This is due to laziness and also, in my defense, not knowing what to do.

This blog will probably consist of mostly pictures and not too much writing. I am not the greatest writer in the world, but i would like to share the things that our family enjoy doing.

This is a picture of our weekend getaway to the O.C. Ok not california, it was Ocean City, Maryland. We had a nice time. The weather was ok so the girls got to hang out at the beach a little.
