Christmas Break

 Nap time buddies!!  They are so cute and will lay and talk to each other forever.

 We have been fishing.

 Lots and lots of coloring and tracing has been going on.

Koriann is on break from school and we are having so much fun.  It is great having her home and we are just trying to make the most of it.  Aspen likes having someone to play with and pester.  Everyday is something new but I do believe baking/cooking  is her favorite thing to do. 

Christmas 2012

 Christmas Eve with these 2 was awesome!!  Love that they are best friends.

 Koriann LVOES play-doh and built herself this cute little snowman all by herself!!

 Christmas Eve jammies!!  They are freaking cute.

 Koriann reaction Christmas morning!!  It was so sweet.

 Aspen was just as excited but also kinda nervous.

 Aspen loved her stocking and thought it was awesome evertime she reached in and there was something.  I do believe it was her favorite part.

 Getting started on the presents.

 Aspen was so excited about this toy!!  She kept smiling and laughing at them.

 Koriann recieved many Dora books and could hardly contain herself.

 SANTA himself.  Thanks for everything you do for us!!!

Christmas this year was very laid back and easy going.  We loved it!!  The girls played so hard the day before that they slept in till almost 9 o'clock, which is amazing.  Zeke and I keep wondering when they would wake up but we just let them sleep.  As soon as Koriann was awake she ran into see what SANTA had brought.  She was so grateful for everything and just keep saying how wonderful and thankyou for everything she opened.  Aspen was a little overwhelmed but was just happy to play with toys.
They recieved so many gifts from everyone, so thank you for the love you show our family and especially our girls.  It is way appreciated.

We missed seeing our families, but at the same time it was nice just the four of us for the Christmas weekend.  Zeke had 4 days off in a row and it was AWESOME!!  Koriann and Aspen were in HEAVEN.  He spent every minute with them.  He took them sledding and they LOVED it to say the least.  Koriann talks about it all the time and can't wait till next time.  We are so grateful for this time of year and especially for FAMILY.  We can't wait till next year!!

Early Christmas

 Koriann was so so excited to be able open presents EARLY!!

 She was so cute, when she tore off the paper she exclaimed "It's a box" with such joy.  It made us all smile and laugh.

 LOVE the little nativity set they recieved.

 Both girls were excited for their hoody towels.

 Grandpa and his girls!  They LOVE him to death.

While G&G were up the girls were able to have an early Christmas with them.  Koriann could hardly contain her excitment.  Aspen wasn't sure what was going on but soon got in on the fun.  As usual they were spoiled rotten!!

Gingy!!

Let it begin

 Aspen scheeming on how to score more candy.

 Koriann was so precise and wanted everything just right, my little perfectionist.

The girls had so much fun while G&G where here.  On the last day they busted out the gingerbread house and went to town.  Koriann wanted to wait for her Grandpa casue he "knows how to build" were exact words.  I kinda think Grandpa like it too.  Aspen was more into just eating the candy and hanging with Grandpa.  She LOVES and I me LOVES him to death!!  And Aspen isn't very fond of many people, so it makes Grandpa really proud.
The house turned out awesome and the girls love to look and eat off of it everday.

Reading buddies

 SO so so sweet.

 Aspen adores Koriann, hope their bond always stays strong.

 LOVE this picture of our 2 beautiful girls!!

Koriann is awesome, when ever Aspen gets a little tired she wants to be read too.  So this evening she took it upon herself to read to Aspen.  It was so precious the way she would tell what was happening and then show Aspen the picture.  I LOVE how much they care about each other and hope they will always take care of one another.

Cuteness!!

 Still has the bluest eyes around.  Her teeth crack us up, she has a gap between the 2 front ones and it it hilarious.

 Do they come any cuter?!!

This little girl is so stinking cute!!  She has the best little personality.  I wish I could freeze time right now and keep her at this age.  Aspen LOVES to cuddle and give kisses.  She has also discovered when she doesn't have her hair done and rushes to get the brush and flowers to have her hair done.  Aspen also has a temper that can rage when she gets mad, and oh boy watch out.  Overall she is just a tiny little ball of cuteness and we wouldn't want it any other way.

Holding Hands

These two have really been so cute lately.  They like to hold hand all the time and we think it is the most precious thing EVER!!  Aspen will just wander over to Koriann and hold her hand out for her sister to take.  It's just way to cute. 

Dancing Dress

 No matter what she wears we think she is the cutest thing around.

Koriann recieved a new dancing dress and is in LOVE!!  Seriously she wears tht thing 24/7 and the only time she will let it go is if I stick it in the washer.  Even at that point she stands and watches it till it's done.  She has really been into the Disney Princesses and it is so cute to watch.  Her dancing moves are pretty sweet also.  Maybe it is time to enroll her in so classes.
