Christmas Day!

As per her usual, Reagan was up EARLY on Christmas morning. That girl hates sleep:) We asked her to go back to her room for a bit, which she happily did because she knew what awaited. Once it was a reasonable hour and Savannah was stirring, we got both girls and headed down to start Christmas!


Savannah got her own phone.


Santa brought Reagan a set of emergency vehicles which were a big hit! And Uncle Adam and Auntie Lauren sent two awesome gifts - a plant & grow set for Reagan and a recycling truck with a remote for Savannah - which were also well received! 


Reagan asked Santa for a Spider-Man toy and he delivered to one very happy girl!



And her cousins, Morgan & Michael, gave her such an awesome gift...an Elsa print! It's hanging in the playroom and it's perfect!


Thanks to a UPS mixup, Jess and I got matching fleece-lined flannel shirts from LL Bean! 


Only the best aunts play tea party with their nieces! 


Jason even got a few minutes to relax and read his new Food Trucks cookbook!


After a nice walk and bike ride (for Reagan), Grandma, Papa & Geoffrey arrived for Christmas, part two! I swear there were more presents in this round!


We headed out for Chinese this year. A great idea for those of us who don't like cooking and cleaning:) Then Reagan got to take a bath and use another present...shaving cream! Again, the best aunt ever participated in the fun!



And Savannah was happy to have Daddy read her new books before bedtime!


As always, it was a great Christmas! Couldn't ask for a better celebration!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
