Snow Day

 We finally got our Snow Day!  It's funny because all the other snow that we have had has melted before the girls get out of school and get a chance to play in it.  Well it finally happened the snow came and it stayed.  

 Nyah loved trying to surf/snowboard on the sled Adelynn is such a good sport pulling her sister around.

Alyse liked the snow for about 10 minutes.

Ella and Adelynn had so much fun barring each other in the snow.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve has finally arrived. This year I decided to make it a less stressful night. I moved all the family parties to earlier in the week or the month. I also made sure everything was wrapped and ready to go before the big night. I loved it! Our friends the Bagley's decided to join us this year because all their kids are big and lets face it little kids are the best around Christmas time.

I wanted a picture of the girls by the tree and Alyse did not want to be in it with the girls. We tried to trick her I told the girls I would count to three and then I wanted them to run into the picture next to Alyse. She was not happy about this.

Alyse was ok with her sisters being in the picture if her Dad was in it also.

We had a great evening. We started it off with fondue and lots of other yummy eats.  Then we opened our Christmas Eve pj's.

After we all got cozy in our new Pj's we watched a Muppet's Christmas Carol.  We had such a nice relaxing evening.  The girls were all so excited for morning so they went to bed really well.

(I'm not sure why this is out of order!!)

 Happy 4th Birthday Ella!  We celebrated all weekend long.  The party started on Saturday she invited a few of her friends to kangaroo zoo.  They jumped and jumped tell they couldn't jump any longer.

  

 Ella was so excited Grandpa Fell came down and brought lots of love from Grandma Fell.  Grandpa gave her some puzzles for her birthday.  They got right to work putting them together.  That is one thing that she loves about Grandpa Fell he will do the puzzles with her for hours.

Ella wanted to have a Tiana birthday so this is the cake I made her.

 Ella loved it.

After church we let her open her gifts.  I know I broke my rules we hadn't even sang happy birthday or blown out candles.  It was really hard for Ella to wait any longer we don't get home from church tell after 4.

Happy Birthday my little Bell Bell I hope you had a great weekend.

 Ella's 4 year pictures!  I'm really excited at how well these photo's captures Ella.  Ella has a heart of gold.  She is so sweet to everyone.  She is ready to protect anyone in her family (so look out when your at the playground and you want to play chase with one of her sisters). 

 Ella loves, loves puzzles right now.  She will spend hours working on them. 

 Ella is a good little sister to her big sisters and a good big sister to her little sister. 

Happy 4th birthday big girl.  Mom and Dad love you so much!

Ella's Quote of the Week

Aunt Melanie and Uncle Mark invited Adelynn and Nyah to go swimming. Ella was sad she wanted to go. I told her that she couldn't go because she was sick. Ella said "well then can you turn on the sprinklers so I can run through them." I said oh no honey it's to cold outside. Ella then said "but Mom I will put on my coat."

Gingerbread Houses

We finally had a few hours that we were all home so we could put together our Gingerbread houses. This year I got a little village that way everyone had their own house to put together. It worked out really well there was not fighting.

No worries Alyse is not bleeding she had been eating the frosting. Mike and Alyse teamed up and did a house together.

Ella and I worked on a house together.

Nyah and Adelynn were on their own.

We decided to make it into a competition. When the houses were all complete Mike called our neighbor Gary to come over and judge the houses. We put them all in the center of the table and didn't tell the Gunns who's house was who's. Adelynn won! They said that hers was the most unique.

Sugar Cookies

There is one thing about Christmas that is a must have and that's my Mom's sugar cookies. I did so good I put the crazy Keri away and let Nyah and her friend Halle make the sugar cookies. I normally don't ever let the kids roll the dough out and cut out the shapes and most of all I never let them frost them. I just hate the mess. But look at me this year I just got out all the stuff and left the room.

The kids had a blast making their own cookies.

It really wasn't to bad of a mess either.

I'm glad that I just chilled and let the kids make and decorate cookies. They all had such a great time.
