Merry Christmas!

Sister love!  Or iPod love, take your pick.

We went to the live nativity, Stella pet the sheep, but Leila wanted nothing to do with it!

The girls like to hide between these cupboards, they are super sneaky!

Christmas pictures - they were not in the mood at first.

Leila had to get the funny face picture out of the way first.

Then we could have a nice smile.

Stella did pretty good too.

And finally, a good one of both of our girls!

Virginia Park

The weather was pretty nice again this week so I decided to take the girls to Virginia Park.

They really enjoyed it.  I thought it would be a good idea to get out before baby brother comes and we are homebound for a bit :)

It took Stella a couple of tries to get the slide right.

Big sister Leila was happy to help her.

Not a huge improvement, but this is a twisty slide.

Stella did great on a straighter one.

Leila climbed in there all by herself!

The other night we went to visit Duie and she asked Leila what she wanted for Christmas.  Leila answered that Stella was getting presents from Santa, but she was not expecting to receive anything.  When asked why, she responded that since she had cried on his lap, she didn't think he would bring her anything. :)

Christmas is coming...

Leila decided to teach Stella to play Trouble, even though she doesn't really follow the rules herself.

Stella moved up to booster seat at the table, most days I do not regret this decision.

Leila is still deathly afraid of sitting on Santa's lap.  She informed us that she does not like Santa because he has a white beard.

After visiting Santa we went for a short walk downtown.

Leila really likes this Christmas tree, probably because it is the largest decorated one she has seen yet.

Last night it was so nice out we had to grill.  Jer got adventurous and made bacon wrapped hot dogs and an egg bacon cheeseburger.  I did not eat an egg burger, but I did have a bacon wrapped hot dog.  The girls also enjoyed the grilled bacon along with hot dogs and cheeseburgers.
