For the first year ever, both girls were excited to play in the water, though Eva was always a little hesitant at first. Izzy loved to play in our little swimming pool from Uncle Eric because it has a slide. Slides make that little girl fearless. Our trips to the splash park with grandma usually ended with lunch at El Patron's, which was always a highlight for us big kids. On one visit, we even visited the Girl Scout Outreach center so the girls could test out the giant slide. Oh, the perks of knowin' a guy... :)<br />

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-86193195861564230352014-08-24T14:46:00.001-05:002014-08-24T14:46:41.606-05:00Daddy's 30th and our Drive In NightWith Daddy on vacation during his birthday week, we decided to kick things off right with a trip to the Muscatine Weed Park water park (which was awesome) and then a trip to the drive in that night. Since it was a Monday night, it wasn't crowded at all, and we got a front row parking spot for the shows. This year we saw Planes 2 and The Muppets Most Wanted. Izzy made it through the first movie, but fell asleep after her MnMs ran out at the beginning of the second. Evalee, however, did not struggle in the least to stay awake through both movies. At 12:30 a.m. as we were packing up to leave, she was still bright-eyed and happy to be there. The night continues to be one of my favorites of the whole year, and I'm so glad we started this tradition. I know I won't have many years of being snuggly with the girls during the movies, so I did my best to breathe in the moments.<br />

Eva was *so* excited at the idea of going to the beach, I didn't have the heart to correct her when she assumed she was headed to the ocean. She was on a hunt for dolphins the whole time she was swimming, but didn't have any luck. We had so much fun the first time we went back for another round a couple of weeks later. It was so great to just relax in the sun with some sand in my toes. Those couple of days truly felt like summer.<br />

This year we brought out the slip and slide for some 4th of July fun. The water was very cold and neither girl wanted to slide much, but Izzy braved for a few treks down the slope. Eva eventually decided to enjoy the small pool of water at the bottom, but mostly they enjoyed throwing splash bombs at Uncle Eric. :)These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-43264390326727153282014-08-21T17:57:00.002-05:002014-08-21T17:57:41.291-05:00Love at the zooWe didn't get to the zoo nearly as often as we have the last few summers, but the girls had a great time every time we went. Izzy was afraid of the carrousel the first time we took her on it, and she wasn't too crazy about the train either. Still, she loved feeding the ducks and the fish and seeing the monkeys and giraffes. Members only night was great again this year, and Izzy LOVED the carrousel and the train that night. Since they're both free on members only night, we rode a few times. :)<br />

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-18426746015880653622014-08-21T17:13:00.001-05:002014-08-21T17:13:21.784-05:00Eva's First Year of Tee BallEva's first season of tee ball was definitely one to be remembered. We signed her up, despite her young age, because we wanted her to make some friends, burn some energy, and learn a skill. We did not anticipate the amount of drama she would bring with herself to each and every practice and game.<br />
<br />
Her first practice was cold. Very cold. It was May, but it felt more like March. The girls were snotty, cold, and miserable. It wasn't a great first impression for her. Most of the practice was spent sitting on the bench and crying. The second and third practices got marginally better, but all in all she froze any time she was unsure of what she needed to do and coped with it by running and crying on the bench.There were lots of stares from other mothers, and it was a long season.<br />
<br />
But still, for those of us watching our tiny little athlete each week, she definitely grew over the course of the season. She loved hitting the ball and running the bases. She hated standing in the field, as she felt as though no one was ever hitting the ball directly to her like she would have liked. She loved playing catch with Audrey Terry before the game and giggling with the other girls waiting for her turn at bat. She hated putting her hand in for the post-game huddle. Still, I am so glad she had the experience, and I felt a little sad at her last game since I didn't think she would ever want to play again. To my surprise though, every time we drive by the field she still points to it and talks about how much fun she had in tee ball. Maybe there's a promise of a second season after all.<br />

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-24582741673335588182014-08-21T17:01:00.003-05:002014-08-21T17:01:50.538-05:00Busy busy summer 2013I probably say this (and will continue to say this) every summer, but I feel like this was the busiest summer of my life this year. The 10 weeks of summer are always such a welcomed adventure, especially after the chaos that May always brings with the end of the year curriculum, high-demand grading, after school events and obligations, etc.<br />
<br />
At the beginning of summer, I made a rather hasty decision to begin a master's program through Walden University. The program was the perfect fit for me and our family, and the thought of having it all done in 16 months was too tempting to resist. It was, however, much more challenging at first than I was prepared for. The degree is a masters of science, which calls for a very different writing and research style than my bachelor of arts degree did. It was frustrating and difficult to learn on my own without the guidance of a professor, as the class was online. But with the generous help of my mother and husband keeping the kids entertained as I wrote and wrote papers each week, I got through the summer semester 2 points shy of a perfect score in the class.<br />
<br />
We also decided to put our house on the market at the beginning of summer. This meant finally getting around to a few repairs we have been meaning to do and a careful diligence in keeping the house ready for prospective buyers all summer long. This is no easy task with two wild and crazy kids running around in said house all day. But again, we got through it as a team. The house still hasn't sold yet, but with the return of our "regular" school schedule, it has been much easier to keep up with the house until we sell.<br />
<br />
To really complicate matters, Miss Isabel Grace took a keen interest in potty training in June as well. I skeptically decided to run with it, and she did so wonderfully for weeks. She would have an accident here and there throughout the day, but she made a serious effort to make it to the potty every time she had to go. I was so excited at the thought of not having dirty diapers in my life for a year or two. Unfortunately, she abruptly stopped going on the potty a couple of weeks before summer's end. This has been incredibly frustrating, but hopefully she'll be back on the bandwagon soon.<br />
<br />
Despite all the stressful challenges of the summer, we still managed to make some pretty fantastic memories. It's crazy to think that next summer will be the weeks leading up to my baby heading off to school!These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-22048858655686555182014-05-31T18:00:00.000-05:002014-08-21T18:11:38.704-05:00Alex and Amelia's birthdayAlex and Amelia's birthday was another success again this year. I didn't take many pictures, but the kids had a great time bouncing in the bounce house and driving all those battery-operated cars around the yard!<br />

My rule of thumb is once they start taking a flying leap from the rails to get themselves out the crib, it's time for a toddler bed. :) We feared how many nights we would spend picking her up and taking her back to bed over and over until she finally learned to stay in bed, but to our delightful surprise she has not once left her bed in the night. Got lucky with this little girl.<br />

On one of the few days left in an adult's year<br />
where selfishness and gluttony are acceptable, often encouraged,<br />
I fix myself an order of buttery, syrupy pancakes,<br />
fantasizing about the peace and tranquility that could come<br />
from a leisurely breakfast at the table.<br />
<br />
Browsing the news.<br />
Drinking in the sunlight.<br />
Sipping coffee while it is still hot and<br />
not neglected, cooling on a counter<br />
while I tend to a drippy nose or an empty juice cup. <i> </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Time for me to just be me</i>,<br />
I chant to myself as I set my cup and plate down at the table.<br />
<br />
I take one bite,<br />
then two bites,<br />
relishing the fact that my children have not yet<br />
caught sight of me from the living room.<br />
My plan is working.<br />
Warm sips of coffee.<br />
Beautiful rays of sunlight.<br />
This is the life.<br />
<br />
And then she sees me.<br />
Hair wild like long, tall grass.<br />
Voice shrieking high<br />
like the monkeys she loves at the zoo.<br />
Tiny feet racing one another,<br />
Left foot versus right --<br />
which could get to me fastest?<br />
<br />
She softly lays her head on my lap.<br />
She doesn't know the words yet,<br />
but her deep chocolate eyes do all the talking for her.<br />
I know that I have been caught.<br />
<br />
I carefully cut one bite,<br />
then two bites,<br />
and offer them to her on my fork.<br />
She gobbles them up faster than I can cut another piece.<br />
She squeals with delight<br />
as she hoists herself up onto my lap.<br />
She takes my fork<br />
and cleans my plate for me,<br />
as if she didn't want to put me out<br />
any more than she already has.<br />
<br />
A small violinist that lives inside my heart<br />
plays a tune as I say goodbye<br />
to the last bite, sliding off the fork<br />
and into my daughter's mouth.<br />
<br />
She knows she has stolen my breakfast.<br />
Her apology is a sticky kiss,<br />
loud and sloppy on my mouth and chin.<br />
Before I can speak a word,<br />
she slides off my lap<br />
and sprints toward her toys.<br />
Her work here is done.<br />
<br />
My coffee is cold.<br />
My plate is empty.<br />
My stomach rumbles.<br />
Still, these birthday pancakes were some of my favorites.<br />
This is the life.These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-62418160257578204232014-04-08T16:56:00.000-05:002014-04-13T16:57:12.306-05:00Eva's Big Day OutI let Eva plan her birthday this year, so naturally she crammed as much as possible into the day. Travis took the week off with some of his vacation days, and I took a personal day so we could spend the entire day together. The zoo opened the day before her birthday, so we went there first to see all our old friends again. Eva was pretty sad the elephants were gone, but at least she knows we weren't lying to her last year when we told her to say goodbye to them. Izzy really enjoyed feeding the fish and looking at the giraffes, but the usual zoo thrills did not agree with her at all. She was not a fan of the carousel or the train. Maybe one day. :)<br />
<br />
Time got away from us at the zoo, so we went to Hungry Hobo to get a quick lunch. The girls devoured some cheese fries and we all had a good time. My one requirement in Eva's plan was that we had to fit a nap into the day, so this is where our nap went.<br />
<br />
Once naptime was over, we piled back into the car and headed to Monkey Joes. This was definitely the highlight of the day. The place was deserted and the girls had the run of the place. Izzy was a child unlike I have ever seen. She was daring and had such a great time climbing and bouncing around and going down the slides. Eva had a blast, as always, as well. We will definitely be going back there again soon.<br />
<br />
When the time came we left Monkey Joes and headed to Happy Joes and the Jungle Bungle to meet Grandma and Papa for some birthday pizza. She opened up a few presents we saved for the day and the kids played around the equipment and the arcade. Eva didn't want her birthday ice cream, so Izzy happily stepped up to the plate.<br />

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-77708529035891275172014-04-08T15:31:00.000-05:002014-04-13T15:31:53.750-05:00Happy 4th birthday, Evalee AnnDear Evalee,<br />
<br />
You are finally four years old. I say finally because you've been anticipating this birthday for months, often reminding me that you were "three now, but soon four". So, I can't say as though I was surprised to find the date on the calendar. Still, however, I am beginning to be amazed by how quickly you are turning into a wonderful, smart, thoughtful, beautiful little person. You are so creative and intuitive; I know you are going to move mountains one day.<br />
<br />
On this, your fourth birthday, baby girl, I will try my best to once again paint a picture of who you are. I hope you look back on these words one day when you are grown and find the roots of the woman you've become starting here in these days.<br />
<br />
You are such a fantastic big sister. Izzy looks up to your face each day, big eyes full of wonder, and you always respond to them with kindness and, usually, patience. You are her hero, and you are always looking out for her. Before Izzy was born, I privately asked myself how I could ever love another child as much as I love you, but now I see how I get to love you in all new ways when I see how much the two of you love one another. When you are working on something together or teaming up to bring down your father in a tickle war, I can actually feel my heart swell with joy at the sound of your shrieks of collaborative laughter.<br />
<br />
You are so smart. I amazed by the amount of information you are starting to understand. You have a genuine interest in learning, which I know is something that is found inside you and has nothing to do with us. You're starting to figure out how letter sounds come together to form words, but your colossal memory gets in your way from really figuring out how phonics work. You have entire books memorized, and I love so much when you decide to take over when we read books each night. You love to point out patterns you see when we are out and about, and you're getting pretty good at addition and subtraction when you're in the mood for it.<br />
<br />
You are the pickiest eater in the world. Seriously. Your father and I have had serious conversations where we speculate as to how you have enough nutrition to get yourself through the day. Unless the menu is pizza, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, or Spaghettios, (all of which your sister hates) I'm lucky if I can get you to take 5 bites of a meal set before you. Needless to say, this is a character trait I'd be happy to see you lose in the coming years.<br />
<br />
You love to pick out your clothes. We usually let you go with whatever you're feeling for the day, and that usually involves a Bears jersey, a TMNT tee-shirt, or a shirt with an animal doing something funny on it, if you can find them clean. Just yesterday you went with red yoga pants and a bright blue Toy Story tee shirt with your Tangled princess dress over it, a cape fastened around your neck, and sparkly silver shoes. We negotiated you out of the cape to run errands, but you pull the rest of it off through a couple of stops we had to make. Your blonde hair is now almost to your butt, but you sure hate to have it brushed or styled in any way. So on most days it is wild and free, just like you.<br />
<br />
You are funny. You love to make jokes or to sing songs and change the lyrics trying to make us laugh. Most of the time, though, you crack me up with these statements you make that come so far out of left field that most of the humor in the joke is in trying to figure out where it came from. This is a trait I hope you hold onto forever.<br />
<br />
You have the oddest collection of interests, and I love that you don't conform to any sort of gender stereotype. On some days, you are dressing up like a Princess and hugging dolls. On other days, you are Ironman driving your Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Shell Raiser around the living room. You love nail polish and dinosaurs and ponies and monsters. You wear fairy wings and football jerseys.<br />
<br />
You are kind. When you hurt someone, no one needs to tell you to apologize - you do it without prompting. You use your manners when asking for things, and you usually say "excuse me" when you are trying to get by people in a public place. You share your toys and snacks with other kids. You take turns. You scoot over to make room for your sister when she wants to share a seat with you. You like to set the table for me at dinner time and help put the wet clothes in the dryer. You like to draw pictures for people when you know you will be seeing them soon. When you find change to put in your piggy bank, you offer your sister a few coins for her to put in her bank too. Even though these are such small things, I see you make these choices and I know you will have a giving heart all throughout your life.<br />
<br />
Similarly, you love to meet new people. Every time we go somewhere for you to play, you never hesitate to strike up conversation with other kids and ask them to play with you.<br />
<br />
You do not value sleep. Nap time is still an essential part of a harmonious day (and evening), but it involves lots of convincing each day. On Friday nights, we let you stay up well past your bedtime as we play cards or watch movies at Grandma and Papa's house, and you've never struggled to stay awake. You are up each day before your sister and father (and mother, on the weekends) and ready to start the day about 4 seconds after you open your eyes. You are never without energy, and I am ever envious of this.<br />
<br />
You and your sister are our entire world, Evalee Ann. Thank you so much for making smile every day for the last four years of my life. Each day you grow and become a more precise version of you, and each time this happens I find new ways to love you even more than I did the day before.<br />
<br />
Happy fourth birthday.<br />
Love,<br />
Mama<br />

I had lots of fun plans for spring break, but most of them were altered when Isabel woke up Monday morning with a 104 degree temperature. The week was spent visiting Dr. Moen, barreling through tylenol and ibuprofen, snuggling on the couch, and enjoying bursts of feeling-good energy playing around the house. We even decided to take an impromptu trip down to WIlliamsville to visit Alex and Amelia. Izzy was not up to much socializing, but they still had lots of fun with their cousins. I was so thankful when she finally started feeling better and eating food again. Unfortunately, that was on Sunday, the day before I went back to work. Oh well. Summer vacation is only 8 weeks away, right? :)</div>

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-91093674996510086982014-04-05T15:55:00.000-05:002014-04-13T15:55:35.406-05:00Eva's Birthday PartyIn the weeks leading up to her birthday, people would often ask Eva what she wanted on her birthday cake. "A lion driving a car!" She would quickly respond.<br />
"So you don't want a Frozen cake, then?" I asked later, as this was her original idea. "No, I want a Frozen birthday," she'd respond. Lather, rinse, repeat.<br />
<br />
So needless to say, I didn't exactly purchase anything for the party. The weekend before the party we visited Alex and Amelia (and Uncle Adam and Aunt Molly, too! :) ) and she decided she wanted a Candyland party.<br />
<br />
Candyland it is.<br />
<br />
We had the party at Grandma and Papa's house this year since they have so much more room than we do. We came over the night before to set up and cook a bit, and as a team effort we put together the cake. Evalee was so excited to see all the candy she didn't know what to do with her hands.<br />
<br />
The party was great. It was so great to see everyone again, and Evalee loves each and every one of the gifts people were so thoughtful to choose for her. The day was even nice enough for the kids to play outside for a good portion of the afternoon.<br />
<br />
All in all, it was another birthday success!<br />

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-44645451541612096912014-03-24T16:07:00.000-05:002014-04-13T16:25:21.851-05:00Gizmo - a girl's best friend/hated enemyEvalee has been constructing elaborate schemes to catch our cats in their cat carrier. She tells me she wants to catch them and take them to Petco because she saw on their sign that they had dogs and cats and would like to exchange our cats for a dog. I have to remind her that they are family, and you cannot return family members for different ones. She reminds me that they throw up all the time. "Something is wrong with them," she points out.<br />
I know, kid. I know.<br />
<br />
And yet, at night Gizmo has started offering a white flag of surrender. Just as we wind down from the collection of books Eva heaps on our laps, Gizmo announces herself loudly as she strolls into the room and joins us on the bed. She allows Eva a few precious minutes of snuggle time. Eva is beyond joyful.<br />
<br />
And then she is off to throw up on the stairs or knock things off shelves. And Eva is back to dreaming of ways to fool her into leaving the family.<br />

It's always nice to see everyone on this day. We headed to the pool for some lunch and swimming first. Eva had a great time splashing around, but Izzy was not enjoying herself. She clung to me like a spider-monkey the whole time we were in the water. We headed back to Grandma's for presents and more food. It's always great to see people we haven't seen since, so often, last Christmas, and give the kids time to get to know each other and play together. Unfortunately, Travis is one of the only family members that isn't retired or working for the government, so we had to head home after supper so Travis could work the next day.<br />

I know it's completely crazy for me to think she could try potty training any time soon, but as long as she is interested I am playing along for sure. She's been finding pairs of Eva's underwear and putting them on over her clothes, so I bought her three pair of her own. She wore them once for about an hour and kept them dry, so I say that's a successful first go at it. She has even successfully peed in the potty on her own!<br />
<br />
Regardless, I am sure this is a phase that will lose its luster soon. But I've captured the cuteness, anyway. :)<br />

Whether it's playing with their dolls, dressing up, watching movies, flying around like Ironman, or chasing the cats... they've kept busy. Still, I'm longing for the days where we can open up the sun porch and get some fresh air!<br />

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-74875673920740606212013-12-25T21:12:00.000-06:002014-02-16T21:39:42.602-06:00Christmas Day 2013On Christmas Day, we woke up at a leisurely hour and opened our presents together as a family. Isabel was so excited to tear through the paper, and Eva was so good at being patient and waiting her turn. What made this Christmas so unique was that unintentionally, I had chosen gifts with minimal packaging to tear through and nothing that required batteries. Instead, we opened presents, got through the bit of packaging there, and watched their imaginations sore. They received a wooden train set, play food, doll house dolls, and lots of books. It was wonderful. We had our breakfast (I tried making crockpot French bread, MAJOR FAIL), and Travis spent most of the morning hooking up his new TV. This required moving our living room furniture and Christmas tree, so before we knew it Christmas was coming down to make way for the new year. It felt pretty wrong taking some of the decorations down Christmas afternoon, but I wasn't going to re-decorate after we moved things only to take it down again in a few more days. Once the TV was on the wall and working, we headed to Aunt Carol's for some Christmas soup and board games.<br />
<br />
It was a wonderful Christmas season filled with so many smiles and so much excitement. We felt so blessed at the end of the day to be surrounded by so many good people in our lives.<br />

It was nice to get an early start on our "together" time -- and we made pancakes and bacon (our traditional calorie fest). We had a great dinner with turkey, potatoes, stuffing, salads, breads, wines, and all sorts of others I am probably forgetting. Then we opened our presents before naptime hit. Grandma loved our surprises for her this year, despite the fact that I couldn't finish a part of one in time. I found a website where you can make your own print of fabric, so I scanned in an old handwritten letter from Grandma Parchert with her instructions for how to making a turkey into a pattern to make a Thanksgiving hand towel. It took a lot of swearing and some help from my husband, but I got it done. :). Some of the girls' presents highlights were new Megabloks (which they have played with almost daily since Christmas) pots and pans for their kitchen, a baby that goes potty, and sleeping bags. It was Daddy, however, that stole the show with his excitement over his new 50" TV. I never would have been able to pull it off without help from Grandma and Papa, so I thank them profusely for giving me the gift of seeing his excitement.<br />
<br />
The afternoon was spent relishing in our new toys and taking good quality naps. And eating. Lots of eating.And wine. Lots of wine, too. :)<br />
<br />
Before we knew it, it was time to head to church. Evalee told us all afternoon that she didn't want to get on-stage, and if she did she was going to sing "Jingle Bells" and not "Away in the Manger", so our hopes were not high going in. With the help of Amy, super-mom/babysitter and Sunday School teacher extraordinaire, we convinced her to go to her classroom before the program. We got seats in the front row, hoping that if she was sitting in front of us she wouldn't abandon ship. We waited for the storm, watching Isabel go from preschool chair to preschool chair in front of us in excitement.<br />
<br />
Not only did Evalee decide to go onstage, but she also decided she would, in fact, sing "Away in the Manger." Sort of. Because she would freak out and refuse to sing the minute I suggest we sing the song a time or two, she wasn't quite sure of the words anymore. But that didn't stop her from slowly inching closer and closer to the microphone, making sure her big booming voice was all the audience could hear. Our five seats were shaking as we all held in our laughter in the audience. After the first song, Amy came on stage and moved her back where she belonged, which resulted in the world's biggest pouting face throughout the entire next song. It was a memorable performance, for sure.<br />

We had our traditional family breakfast, filled with delicious homemade doughnuts and biscuits and gravy served with a side of sarcasm and laughs. We opened our gifts - the kids were way too excited to take turns, so I missed a lot of them opening individual gifts. But that's okay - the excitement was palpable. The girls got so many great things, and Izzy was SO excited to open presents. Her first gift was some Snap 'n Style dolls from Aunt Ashley and Uncle Trevor. She loved them so much it was hard to convince her to leave them be long enough to open more. Grandma gave the girls Monsters University and a cardboard table house, so those were quickly set up in the living room and the kids scampered in there while the adults opened our presents. Grandma Kershaw received two canvas prints from our family photo shoot last fall - by coincidence - so that worked out quite nicely :).<br />
<br />
The kids played with their new treasures all afternoon while we caught up with each other, and then it was time to head back to try and beat the snowstorm headed in our direction. When we got home, Travis put together the girls' new trampoline and they had a great time trying it out. Isabel sat and played with her Weeble treehouse all the way until bedtime. It was so fun to see them so excited.<br />

Isabel loved the Christmas tree -- but it was hard to keep her from tearing it apart every day in excitement (especially those beads - they looked too much like her necklaces!) This was the first year our Elf on the Shelf came to visit, and Evalee enjoyed finding "Eek" every morning and giving him a lecture about the shenanigans he pulled the night before. Santa came to the Quad Cities toward the beginning of December, and we had a fantastic time visiting him, making some crafts, and jumping in a bounce house they had set up for the kids.<br />
<br />
Evalee was all about making cookies this Christmas. I can't even tell you how many batches we made, both at home and at Grandma's house. We took buckets of cookies to our neighbors -- Bill and Stacey and Ralph and Cindy, and that might have been her favorite thing we did all season. They are fantastic neighbors and are so thoughtful all year round. I did most of my shopping online again this year, thank goodness, but there were a lot of late nights where I was cruising between websites trying to decide on just the right gifts for my babies and family members.<br />
<br />
We watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas almost daily, and on top of that read the book before bed. I can't say as though I was ever annoyed, however, because I love both the movie and the book. Isabel wasn't all that interested in Christmas movies this year, but I am sure things will change by next Christmas.<br />
<br />
On their last day of daycare before Christmas break, Santa Claus even made a surprise visit to Mary's house! Eva was so stoked to get her toaster and add it to her kitchen in her room, and Isabel served us tea from her new tea set the whole night. It was sure thoughtful of Santa to stop by, even if the one-year-olds were a little thrown off their game. :)<br />
<br />
I tried to make a conscious effort to slow down this year - to stop and smell the evergreen. I know you only get so many of these magical Christmas seasons with little ones, and I wanted to relish in it. It's hard when it's a chaotic time of year at work with finals and all sorts of things, but I still found ways to soak it in. Even when crafts didn't quite go right or Isabel got too tired too quickly for plans to follow through as we hoped, I took a deep breath and reminded myself that these are the memories we have instead. And I know I will still cherish them.<br />

<br />These Are The Dayshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06175203540139326746noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-74145629045238323.post-73813793171060741162013-11-24T11:05:00.000-06:002014-02-16T21:36:18.519-06:00It's the Most Wonderful Day of the Year...Christmas Tree Day -- my favorite day of the year! There are a lot of reasons why this day is so special to me. I have so many wonderful memories of this day as a child -- cramming into pick-up trucks on laps of my older cousins, singing songs obnoxiously and making plans to own our own Holiday Farm someday (which I still think is a solid idea). Our family has evolved a lot in my 27 years of life, and we don't see each other nearly as often as I wish we could. But this day still hasn't changed. Sure, we don't go to the tree farm in illegally packed vehicles anymore, and the location of the farm has even changed three times. But the spirit remains. It marks the beautiful passage of time as each year we can marvel at how we are all different in some ways but essentially the same. The kids are taller. Derick finally remembers the electric saw he promises himself to bring next year. The trees are more bushy. The weather is more or less cool. The huge Husky dog that greets us is still sweet and beautiful and giant. Some can't make it so years. Other years new people join us.<br />
And now I have the added bonus of not having to play by my dad's schedule anymore, and therefore the tree goes up immediately :). I love the smell of pine filling the room, the joy of unwrapping the ornaments, and warm fuzzies you get the first time you turn out all the lights and the tree's light fills the room.<br />
<br />
The weather this year was crazy warm, and many of us didn't even wear coats. Izzy had a great time running through the trees. Eva wasn't crazy about pictures, but we bullied her into a few. :)<br />
