Lazy weekend

We have been having a lazy weekend and loving it!

Meghan and Jenna have played dolls almost all weekend.

Meghan moved her doll house into Jenna's room, so the dolls could be neighbors.

I moved Sarah's playhut tent into her room and she loves going in it and reading books.

She wasn't very happy when I opened the flap to take her picture.

First snow day of 2012

snow pants...check

snow boots....check

Hats, coats, gloves...check, check and check

Sled....check!

We didn't get much snow, but it's super cold and there was enough snow for the girls to pull each other around the yard with the sled. Sarah tried to eat the snow. Meghan and Jenna went out a second time and tried to collect enough snow to make a snowman, but there isn't enough this time to make one.

It is still snowing, but I don't think it will be more than a few inches.

Happy New Year

Cheers!

We got the girls some sparkling grape juice for our New Year's party.

We just drank some drinks, ate some snacks and watched TV (and cleaned up the girls' bedrooms).

Don't be jealous of our wild and crazy night!ha

I was really nervous heading into 2011 but it turned out to be a pretty nice year for us. Lot's of changes have taken place for us, but we are a tough bunch and all have done well.

I am so thankful for all we have and look forward to the new year.

Hair and paci

If you wonder what Meghan looked like at two....this is what she looked like.

Meghan fixed Sarah's hair this morning and wanted me to take pictures of her pigtails.

Seeing Sarah this morning was a flash back to Meghan at this age.

My oldest sweet girl with my youngest sweet girl.

(Jenna was off playing with Legos)

Sarah has two "sas" pacifiers. We call them "sas" and Sarah calls them "pink sas" and "ellow sas".

Some days she can't decide which one she wants to use....so she uses them both.

(When Sarah does something funny or looks extra cute the big girls tell me to take her picture!)

2 year stats

I didn't see this happy face earlier today.

Sarah wasn't too happy when we arrived at the Doctor's office for her 2 year check-up. Well, she was happy until she found out she was the one being seen. She asked me to put her clothing back on.

She is 36 inches tall (90%), 27lb 11oz (60%) and her head is 19 1/4 (90%).

She had a great appointment and only needed one shot today. So far she has handled it well and hasn't been fussy. It has caused a little diaper rash...but nothing I can't take care of.

She doesn't have another check-up until she turns 3.

I asked her before I took the second picture if I could take her picture....she said "no" and turned from me.

She was talkative and busy at the doctor's office. She has met and surpassed all 2 year milestones.

She even asked the NP if she could wash her hands too!ha

Playing in her playhut tent with Jenna on Christmas day.

How does my lip gloss look? ha

Christmas 2011

Hope you all had a great Christmas! We didn't get any snow, but it was nice and chilly on Christmas day.

Jenna woke me up at 4am, but I told her to go back to bed. I should have told her a time because she came back in our room at 5am.....I told her then to come back at 6am. Sarah woke up at 530am, so we decided since 2 were up, we would all get up.

Santa stopped by and gave the girls (Rob, Sissy and I also had a few gifts from the big guy) some nice gifts and they loved all of it.

They didn't have long lists this year, so Santa kept it light this year.

While Sarah was napping on Christmas eve, the big girls made some cookies and decorated them for Santa.

Jenna did a little cookie eating too.

Meghan helped me make the icing and picked the colors. She loves helping me in the kitchen and is a great helper. I just need to get her excited about clean up!ha

We all had a great day and loved our gifts.

Sarah was excited to find new toys in the living room. She tried to play with all of the big girls new toys too, but loved her own things more.

2 years old

Happy Birthday to my baby girl (yesterday).

She has grown and changed so much this year.

I love experiencing the toddler years again. The big girls make the whole experience that much more fun.

They spoil Sarah so much and Sarah thinks she is boss.

Sarah LOVES Dora, so we had some Dora decorations for her and she got a big Dora doll. She loves the doll because she can brush the hair and dress (mainly undress) the doll.

Sarah picked out the cupcake flavors at the store. When asked what she wanted for her birthday, her answer would be "a happy birthday cake".

She also thanked all of us a few times yesterday. She is so sweet and was super happy for her big day.

She blew her candles out all by herself!

We didn't do anything big for her day. We just enjoyed our day at the house (and I did a little housekeeping).

Sarah decided she needed to dress up as a princess!

Here are a few pictures of some of her gifts.

Here is Sarah with her Dora doll.....she is in her favorite place, Jenna's room.

Sarah is potty training a little, I think she is around 30 lbs, she wears size 2t clothing and size 6-7 toddler shoes. She talks great and is very independent. She acts like she is a big girl, like her sisters. She is sassy, bossy, lovable and has a great imagination.

I'm sure this coming year will be just as fun and a bit busier with her.
