First Sleepover

It's New Year's Eve, and Grace and Sarah are having their first sleepover. Their best friend, Kylee, is spending the night tonight for the first time! Grace and Sarah are so super duper excited to have their friend over. They are all sleeping together on the carpet in their bedroom on sleeping bags. They look so cute! I remember having sleepovers when I was younger, but not as young as they are. I remember one in particular where I got really homesick and had my mom come and pick me up in the middle of the night. I hope Kylee doesn't have any problems tonight, this being her first time sleeping here. We shall see!

It's been a while

Okay, so I need to be more consistent about writing in this blog. It's been five months since I last posted. Too long. So much has happened and time has flown by. Mia started walking at 10 1/2 months old, at the beginning of September 2006. She hasn't stopped since. She now climbs on everything, including the coffee table. She loves to dance, and is blabbing a lot. She just recently started giving kisses. It's so darn cute. She absolutely adores her sisters, and loves to follow them around. She especially loves going in their room...they have so much "stuff" she can get into. Her favorite things to get out of their room are their chapsticks. She likes to take one in each hand, pop off the cap with her teeth, and dig out the chapstick. If you take it away from her, boy does she get mad. She screams so loudly, and sometimes falls to the floor and flings her head back. It's quite the tantrum. I wonder what'll happen when she's in the "terrible twos." We shall see. One thing is certain...she wants what she wants, and if she doesn't get it, watch out! Right now, Mia is sick with some type of intestinal flu. She's been having diarrhea for four days, and has been throwing up for two. It's so sad! I hope she feels better soon.
Mia's big sisters, Grace and Sarah, are doing so well, and are getting so big. I can't believe they will be five in merely three months. At that time, I will also be registering them for kindergarten. Wow. Time surely flies. My twin babies aren't babies anymore. They're the cutest little girls! They got so much stuff for Christmas. Right now, Sarah is totally into Tinkerbell, so she was inundated with Tinkerbell stuff. Grace is obsessed with Ariel and all things mermaid, so she was showered with all kinds of Ariel things. They also got a Leap Frog Leapster, which they love to play with. There are some pretty cool educational games that are available for the Leapster, too. On Christmas Eve, just before bedtime, the girls put on their Christmas jammies and set out the sugar cookies they baked for Santa along with a glass of milk. We made sure to open the fireplace, so Santa wouldn't have any trouble getting into our house. We then went outside, and threw baby carrots on the roof for the reindeer. In the morning, the girls woke up to brand new bicycles that they got from Santa. They were very excited, and the unwrapping of all their gifts was a whirlwind. We tried to slow them down as best we could. It was so fun to experience Christmas this year with Grace and Sarah, as they were totally into it and completely excited about Santa. They are really buying into it, and it sure does make it fun for us.
