Ashley not to angelic during her program. She was having a rough time. She couldn't see since she was the shortest one in the back row.

You can see in Abbey's eyes how sick she was feeling.

The note that was hidden in the Christmas tree.

Easy Bake Oven bakers

I still can't figure out what Abbey was doing but they were playing that they were cooking in these pictures.

The girls received a Easy Bake oven for Christmas from Auntie Tania and Uncle BJ. They love it! We didn't get the cupcake decorator done this day but they enjoyed their first baking experience. We had two brownies and two cakes.

Abbey's First Lost Tooth

This was a three week process but it finally came out. Abbey had her pediatrician ask twice, her ENT once, mommy more times than she could count to pull her tooth out and it finally happened. She pulled her own tooth out and we were so proud of her. The tooth fairy came and left her $5.00 for the special first tooth. She was so excited.

Dryer

So last Friday I decided to play "Mrs. Fix it" and wanted to clean our dryer. It hadn't had a good cleaning since we moved in which has been over 5 years now. Well, it started to unscrew something and then heard something that didn't sound right so I stopped, panicked and shut off all power and then called Shannon begging for forgiveness.

The project turned into a big headache since the exhaust vent tubing broke and the electric cord was very short. We had to have Ashley go back and plug it in since she was the smallest one that could fit in there. Anyways he fixed it all!

January

So far it has been an eventful month for us. Ashley had surgery on Wednesday. She had her tubes put back into her ears. She will be looking at a cat scan in her future as well as possibly more surgery. She may need a skin graft to help support her ear canal.
Abbey pulled her first tooth out. It was a three week process but she did it all on her own. We are so proud of her. She was so excited when the tooth fairy came and left her a special present.
Girl Scouts have been keeping the girls busy and cookie sales start this weekend. The girls can't wait to sell...
Shannon and I joined Snap Fitness and have been working out and feeling the benefits of the work out.
The girls were healthy over Christmas break now Abbey has a cold. She got it the first week after school resumed. What a bummer.
Keeping the people of Haiti in our prayers, couldn't imagine what it would be like to be in that situation.
