Christmas at a glance

Once again, we were all spoiled this Christmas.  Santa was VERY good to the 5 of us!  So very blessed!

 We had such a great time with family and our cousins Bryn, Avery and Emily were here! 

Neighborhood Holiday Party

We love going to the clubhouse to celebrate the holidays with our friends and neighbors! 
The highlight is always the horse and carriage ride through the neighborhood!  Rachel loved every second of it!  Even the stinky horses!

After the horse ride we went inside for yummy food and hot chocolate!  And of course to see Santa.  Rachel was scared to death of him!  She would NOT let go of me.  We decided not to push it this year to get a picture.  But Molly and Ava were more than happy to pose with Mr. Claus.

Ava's Christmas Program

On Monday night, Ava had her performance.  She was an angel and had a speaking part!  We were very proud when she spoke clear and loudly into the microphone!

Molly's Christmas Program

Holy Moley!  Tis the season to be behind in blogging!  So much going on!
Last week Molly had her last Christmas program as a preschooler!  Makes me a bit sad.  The girls' preschool always does such a great job celebrating and teaching the true meaning of Christmas.  Molly was a bell ringer.  We had a crazy busy night that night.  Molly and Ava both had gymnastics.  So, we had an half our to change clothes and eat dinner before Molly performance.  The pictures showed just how exhausted Molly was.  I did get some good shots after the show though!

Light Parade

Our whole family had quite the treat on Saturday night!  My parents braved the freezing cold temps and took all 3 girls downtown Denver to the parade.  My dad has taken Ava before but this way the first year for Molly and Rachel.  Aside from the cold temps,  they had a GREAT time!

And Mike and I got a much needed date night!  We did a LOT of talking, had Sushi and got some shopping done!  GREAT night! 

Stolen camera

Not sure when but the girls took over my camera.  I didn't realize it until I downloaded them onto my computer!  Here is some of what I found.  Mighty creative!

A day of fun with my girls

Lately, I have been feeling that time is going by way to quickly!  We have been so busy.  I have decided to take advantage of having Molly home two days a week.  Next year with her being in Kindergarten, I will not be able to do activities during the week anymore.  This makes me very sad.  I have grieved when this happened with Ava so it will be easier but my babies are growing up way too fast for my liking! Next year it will be just Rachel and me!  I realized that Rachel has never been to the Children's Museum.  I think I took Ava and Molly there once a week when they were her age.  So sad!  We had fun and it's so much easier with two instead of three!
