Chuck E Cheese

Where else do we go with 2 weeks of no activities and REALLY cold weather ... Chuck E Cheese!

Never too Cold for Popsicles

Some VERY happy girls!

This is what sharing looks like ... lots of germs : )

It's been uncommonly cold in Atlanta and all Sophia can talk about is swimming and playing outside. To give her a little "taste" of summer ... popsicles were the dessert of choice!

Below is a video Mrs. Inge took during their

Christmas Party ... enjoy!

Santa Clause is Coming to School

Santa came to visit Sophia at school. Of the ten children in her class only these four were willing to take their picture with him. It didn't surprise me one bit that Sophia was one of the four. She LOVES Santa!

Though, when I showed her this picture I thought she would tell me all about his visit but she was more interested in telling me about her friends. I would say, Sophia is that you and Santa? and she would say "yes and those are my friends from school Pagen (Hagen), Ewan, Jack and Sophia ... look at all my friends mommy!"

Santa

Since we didn't have anything on the schedule Friday, I decided to take the girls to get their picture taken with Santa. Sophia was so excited to see him she could hardly wait her turn in line. Luckily, there were only five other families before us so the wait wasn't too long.

As we approached our turn, my overly confident little girl became very soft spoken and shy. Who knows maybe she was just a little star struck! Afterall, she was about to meet "the man" himself. But this didn't stop her from sitting on his lap and telling him (very quietly) she wanted "lots of presents for Christmas"!

Alexandra on the other hand could have skipped the whole lap thing! She was perfectly content watching him from a distance though we did manage to sit her down long enough for one decent pic : )

After Santa we grab some lunch and took a ride on the carousel and Choo Choo Train!

Alexandra is ONE!!!

I really can't believe my sweet little girl with the feisty personality is one! Part of me doesn't remember life before her but at the same time it feels like this year has just flown by. She has added so much to our lives and I can only imagine it's going to get even better.

Everything, from the cupcakes to the girls coordinating snowman outfits, was transformed into Alexandra's Winter One-derland!

The favors were a "snow globe" cup filled with some hot cocoa mix and a snowman ornament

Yum Yum Yum Yum snowman cupcakes are SO good!!!!

... a few of Alex's quests after their sugar rush : )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

sweet girl!!!!
