Christmas Cookies

I'm catching up with my Christmas photos... now that the craziness is done!
We got to make Christmas cookies at Grandma Hopkins this year!
The girls actually did very well!





This is the new doll house that the girls got from Great Grandpa and Grandma Pylman and Hopkins! The girls love it! And... as an added bonus... room for 3 girls to play!

Christmas Program

The girls were able to participate in their first ever church Christmas program! They were very excited! Sophie sang nicely, and didn't mess around at all. Olivia danced like crazy! Evie was tired and didn't want to be up there. She didn't cry, but she hid her face a few times. Oh yes... there were some dress lifters as well! Ha! I always knew one of my girls would : )

PB & J


When I make a meal, it is what it is... If I am serving chicken nuggets, that's what they are getting. If I am serving lasagna, that's what they are getting. Sometimes I give them a choice of three things to eat for lunch - but we all decide on one thing, because I am not going to make 3 different things!

There is one exception to the rule... PB & J sandwiches. If that is on the menu for a meal, I let the girls pick how they want their sandwich made. This is how it usually rolls out...

Olivia - On soft bread, just peanut butter.
Evie - On crunchy toast, just peanut butter.
Sophie - On cruncy toast, peanut butter and strawberry jam.

That's right... all different. They rarely want to do things the same :)

I will not, however, cut off the crusts. If they don't eat all of the crust - fine. But I will not make extra work for myself by cutting it off. Plus, I want them to be used to sandwiches with crust on them. Sometimes they eat the whole thing crust and all.

Snow!

Oh yeah! The girls are excited about the snow! They couldn't wait to get out and play in it! The snowpants are on their third year... I think I'm stretching them a bit - literally! I may have to buy a couple new pair!
