Sweet Dreams!
Since Starting Kindergarten, Megan has been really getting to be a better reader. She now reads to herself all the time and reads before bed every night. Often, she reads till she falls asleep, with the lights still on and her finger in the book. When I come up the stairs at bedtime and see her light on, I'm always eager to see how she's fallen asleep.
This time it really cracked me up when I saw her. She does love her dinosaurs...even though you can see she's pretty much surrounded by pink, otherwise!
Chocolate icing fun!
The girls helped made dessert for one evening's dinner. They helped Patsy make cupcakes and then they decorated them. Megan confided in Patsy that she hoped there would be a little frosting left, so she could eat some....
A dream come true...chocolate frosting right out of the container!
A day at the Park
While in Arkansas, we had fabulous weather. We didn't even need heavy coats the entire time we were there. We took advantage of the lovely weather and went to the park one day. The girls had a blast running, climbing, and just being outside.
Megan climbed all the way up the "rock" wall herself. She was really proud of herself for going all the way up to the top.

Fancy Hats
The girls had a blast visiting with at Scott's parents' house. Patsy has all sorts of fun things at her house that we don't have at ours like a piano and the fancy old hats that she collects. The girls loved them and had to try them on. They were too cute not to take photos of them :)
Christmas Day
We really had a whirlwind on Christmas Day. We got up in the morning and opened gifts. We didn't get a lot of photos because it got a little crazy. The girls had a blast opening presents!
Then while the girls played with their new toys, Scott and I got ready for our trip to Arkansas. Around 3 we headed out to see my parents in Mercersburg. The girls had fun seeing them and opening more gifts there. Megan got her fill of Fancy Nancy stuff and Molly got a little of everything.
My parents got both girls these nifty laptop drawing tables. The loved them and were very sad when we had to leave them behind because they didn't fit in the car well for the long trip ahead. There just wasn't enough rooom for everything!
The table all set for dinner.

Bonjour Butterfly.
Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve was spent watching holiday specials on DVD, The Grinch & so forth. I made the girls and I all matching jammies - tees with applique and pj pants. They were so cute on the girls...
Here's the tree all decked out with the presents after Santa's big delivery. I think the tiny tree makes it look like more than it really is. I love the twinkly lights in the dark.
