Sock Space Monster

So, today Amber was throwing a fit so i set her in the hall by a laundry basket to calm down, she got quiet and when i looked at her she was putting these orange socks on, i thought it was funny and i wanted to distract her from what she'd been throwing the fit about so i played along, i put the green ones on her arms and found her a hat! She ran around the house saying she was a "sock space monster" she was happy, i was happy, it was a happy day!

Mandi's Gradulation!!! (that is how amber says it) One of the best days ever!! Every one is so proud of her! Amber especially because she got to eat chocolate cake, it's all over her face!

Christmas pictures!! Amber and Quincy made cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve, then Amber wrote Santa a letter. It was so sweet, in one of her notes to Santa said "happy birthday Baby Jesus, I love you santa" it was so cute. My mom made all of the girls matching pajama pants that are pink with snowmen on them. These are only a couple, i will put more on later!!

Amber going through her stocking. apparently she was pretty amazed by the chocolates!

There is Mandi, right after she opened her sweet new ipod touch!

I think amber was getting bored because we found her by the tv singing ABC' to her reflection.

We've been Elfed!!

the Merry Crestmas party!!

Today was our annual Crestmas Party and it was such a blast!! Everyone brought such yummy food and we just got to hang out and talk!! Every one came except Katie because she is sick, but the paper plate version of her face was there. After dinner we played our gift exchange game, and there was only a little fighting. I got some super cute, super soft and warm slippers from Jessi. THANKS DUDE!! And i'm totally stoked because Mandi got an icecream maker!! I think by the end everyone was pretty much happy with what they got. It was awesome to get together with everyone at the same time!

Yay for snow!!

Amber and I were so excited that it snowed so we decided to go build a snowman! We didn't have the traditional items for making his face so we improvised, His eyes are mushrooms, his nose, asparagus, and his mouth is obviously a banana. I'm pretty sure this is one of the coolest snowmen ever made (no pun intended). Amber helped a little in the actual making of him, but most of the time she was keeping me well fed and hydrated with her fantastistic snow cookies. (sorry, the recipe is a secret) She also loved to make snow angles!! At one point her main goal was to clean all of the snow off of papa's old car, but wheras the snow was coming down faster than she could get it off she gave up. Anyway, here are the pictures of our eventful day!
