Merry Christmas!

By sheer luck, Stephen was home in time for Christmas :) Although he's probably regretting it now because the kids have been a handful. Stewart had the stomach flu the first half of the week. Allie fell down outside and skinned up half of her face. On top of that she has a terrible cold so she's been MUCHO cranky. We all had a great Christmas, though. Stewart woke up at 6 and announced it was time to open presents. He had time to open all of his presents and put them together before Allie woke up at 8 and opened her presents. I think we're all ready for naptime now :)

Christmas Cards

I wanted to make my own Christmas cards this year. I couldn't get either kid to sit still together long enough to get a group shot. Stewart refused to smile. Allie just wanted to ride Stewart's old tricycle that's she's too little for. It was a mess. Here's the best I got:

Beads

AJ and I went to Claire's today and got her some "jewelry". She loves playing with mine. Which is more than frustrating when I have to search the house everyday to find where she'd hidden things. When she went after my wedding ring, I decided it was time she had her own accessories.

I bought her a set of 5 pastel beads. At first she was very excited about wearing them, even showed them off at the grocery store to the checker. Then we got home she took them all off and played with them for AN HOUR! It was mind-numbing. I'd give a million dollars to know what was going through her head :)
