Valentines 2011

Jeremy and I got up at 6:30am to make the girls pink heart pancakes and some bacon. It was actually really fun to get up together. We were both really excited to see their reaction and that made it so fun spending time in the morning...even if it was early!

I read somewhere about writing each of your children a "love letter" on valentines, so we decided to start that tradition this year. The night before we sat down and wrote love cards to the girls. Eva really liked the love letter, I think it's just what she needed.


Eva was pretty pleased with breakfast too...I added a few chocolate chips in for fun!
Elle woke up late but once she did she was pretty excited for breakfast too.

Eva decided to wear her heart dress for her school party. As you all know, Eva is my tomboy and I was really excited that she was totally for it. This dress is actually her size...we bought it a few years back so...now it's a tunic.
So cute...she has trouble not blinking so we tried it again.
And again...

Third times a charm.
We had a great Valentines Day as a family. Jeremy came home with sushi and it was delicious!

Not Daughter of the Year

That's me!
I'm just now getting to Christmas photos...sorry grandparents. But be prepared for an over abundance of Christmas photos, I kept it mostly to the gifts both grandparents sent.
So, travel back to Christmas...Fa la la la laaaa la la la laaaaa:

Reading the Night Before Christmas

The kill...as my dad calls it.


Coming downstairs on Christmas morning.


Stocking time...

REALLY excited about her new slippers.

I kind of ruined the surprise of the shoes for the girls...I didn't realize it was for Christmas and I opened both pairs and had the girls try them on about a week before...so this is Elle's "these look familiar" look.

Eva had a slightly better "I've never seen these before" face.

Opening up their other gift from grandma and grandpa...this one I didn't ruin.

Grandma got Eva a shoulder dragon...she wasn't too sure what it was at first.

Ballerina Barbie!

Now she gets it...and loooooves it.

Writing things...this was a popular choice by both sets of grandparents.

Homemade Zhu Zhu pet sleeping bag...very cool.

silly putty was a hit too!

Now gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Brower

Both the girls got letter magnets that spelled out their names, big hit.

They also got their own little cases that hold little animals...another HUGE hit.

Ellie finally got her own doggie!

Pretty excited about finally having a game for her Didj, she's been playing the game that it came with for months...it gets boring after a while.

Rapunzel dress-up!

She HAD to have it on right away!

She's been wanting one of these "alive" animals for-ev-er. She was pretty stoked.

A Littlest Pet Shop clubhouse...a place where they can all play together.

The "big" gifts...all the Tinkerbell fairies

and all the princess dolls.

Elle was kind of sick Christmas morning...she was a little hazy the whole morning but we really had a great Christmas...we ate our Christmas waffles and hung out while the girls played with all their new things and we ate leftover and napped in and out.
Merry belated Christmas.

The Funky Swirl

Eva made up this dance the other day. She's added in some more moves once I started taping her. There is some techno on in the background but you can barely hear it on the video.
I couldn't stop laughing once I started. I'm not sure why I thought it was SO funny but when I was laughing I spit all over my phone...and then I really couldn't stop.
Enjoy.

Family Pictures...sneak peek.





Actually these were the best of the bunch. Not even halfway through I had a pregnancy hormone meltdown and that was the end of that! So sad. So Grandparents...which one is your favorite? You'll get a 5x7 of your very own in the mail soon!
