5th night of Hanukkah

Matty and Lexi were exhausted today so we did an easy dinner and got ready for Hanukkah night. Both kids were up by 5am this morning and then had a big day. When they got up they were still groggy. Mommy was upstairs painting a wall with chalkboard paint, but as the crying and screaming for mommy continued she quickly hurried downstairs. They finally calmed down... we put on a Mickey Christmas movie and they were happy to see it and cuddle with mommy and daddy!

Tonight Matty lit the menorah and said the prayers.

It was a night of Play-dough for presents and then we all played it was fun!

Christmas Morning!

Santa came and brought Matty and Lexi some great toys! They had fun looking at the presents and we even left out some carrots for the Reindeer. It is amazing that Santa knew to bring them Donald Duck and Elmo things...

4th night of Hanukkah

Yes I know the candles went the wrong way...I don't know what I was thinking, it must be the kindergarten teacher in me trying to get the kids to read properly...whoops, at least Matty and Lexi are not old enough to correct me!
Tonight was the fourth night of Hanukkah! Matty and Lexi now have the hang of things and are totally excited when I say that it is time to light the menorah and open presents. Tonight Lexi helped mommy light the menorah! They opened their presents and loved their Donald Duck dolls and coloring/marker fun!

They love Donald Duck!

Mommy, open your eyes...this could have been a cute picture!

Snow in Vegas

Well it was quite extraordinary that it snowed in Las Vegas on Monday. It also stuck to the ground. It began and last night and they even canceled school today. (LAS VEGAS SNOW DAY) Unfortunately it is super sunny and it was a waste of a day.

Matty and Lexi did not like the snow. They liked the snowman, and they always say build snowman when they see snow, but were not amused by the cold. I guess they are just warm-blooded vegas toddlers.

computer difficulties

I will update soon, having computer difficulties!

Happy Halloween!!!!!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

We had fun today!

We played outside all day and then after naptime we went to a Halloween Carnival- Matty and Lexi love rides and Bouncy houses!

Then we went trick-or-treating in the neighborhood! The kids had a blast and did a great job.

They went up to doors...knocked said trick or treat, grabbed handfuls of candy, and said thank you and bye, bye.

We made it around our whole neighborhood with heavy elmo baskets we headed home and called it a night after a safe piece of candy! Overall Mommy and Daddy were very impressed!

Haircuts

BEFORE

Matty needed a haircut, so we decided to get Lexi her first real haircut as well. She was very good in her seat and didn't squirm as much as Matty! Mommy shed a few tears because now she looks like such a little girl and not a baby anymore with those bangs. But still cute.

AFTER

Doesn't Matty look handsome in his new do.

They did so well that we picked up cupcakes for dessert!
