Cute pictures..

It's a "Where's Waldo" but with an Alaina...

...there she is!

The Alaina and Alyssa game...

Their game: Alaina puts her face in Alyssa's face-- then they both giggle like maniacs!

Ok, so I was a bad, bad, very bad Mommy... I forgot to take pictures of my babies in their Christmas dresses. Sooo-- I had the girls put them on again today and told them we are getting a picture and we aren't changing our clothes until we get it!!! Alaina had other plans.... and Alyssa went poop half way thru the fight..I mean thru the photo shoot-- so she got a wardrobe change... OI...anyway, this is as good as we got:

Alyssa was like "Yo Alaina, WTF?"

You can see here that Alyssa is smiling... and Alaina, well.. she's trying!

Alyssa is just annoyed now...

And the drama continues... and I should note that as I type this, the bad girl is sitting on the couch next to me with her head on my arm...

The final picture.. not our best work, but they are both in the picture, both are not crying, and both are looking at the camera.. I think that is good enough!! :)

My hands work...

Maybe Miss Lys can't actually grab them yet, but she is certainly trying. She gets her hand in the right spot and grabs, grabs, grabs-- but the slippery little buggers just won't stay in her pincer grasp. And she stares down the lion while making noises at it... I think he torments her.

It SNOWED!

She looks so comfortable, doesn't she?

OOPS!! She fell face first into the snow pile. I think it was done on purpose, and she didn't seem to mind so much!

Helping Daddy get rid of that nasty snow! Too bad she was just batting it back to the already shoveled area. But look how hard she is working!!

FUN!

This is the first several minutes of being outside. She sat down in one spot and stayed absolutely still for what seemed like forever. I guess she had to figure out what was going on first...

This was not LuLu's first experience with snow, but it is the first time she actually got to play in it independently. She woud NOT leave on her mittens and wanted to play with the snow with her bare hands. Her poor little hands were beat red and she kept crying every time she grabbed the snow. Poor kid-- I bet her hands hurt soo bad. We ended up bringing her inside before she was ready because her hands were seriously an unnatural red color. She had a major melt down, and wanted to stay out in the snow. She kept looking out the window saying "nooooo"... meaning "snow." So now- "no" and ''snow" are the same thing. Awesome!
