handstand

Sam can do a hand stand all by herself!

Tis the season

Today we went for a drive and dropped off presents at the Muellers, Woods and Smiths. The Mueller kids werent feeling good so we didnt visit. We had a nice visit with the Woods. Sam ran around with Eric and his best friend Joe the whole time and they were say poo poo head over and over! Of course I left the camera in the car so no photos of the fun had there. Last stop was the Smiths. Jack was there (of course) and they played for a long time with the presents that they gave the girls.

You can never get a photo with everybody looking at the camera!

Monday night Football

Last night I took Sam to Debbies for a Christmas party. I totally forgot to bring the camera and it was the first time she sat on Santas lap. I was bummed. It was nice to meet and talk to few of the parents of the kids that go to the daycare with Sam.In the afternoon she wanted to bring her sisters but when it was time to get ready she wanted them to stay home and only go with me. Which I really enjoyed. It would have been crazy with the twins into everything. She put on her new fancy Christmas dress and looked so cute. Jon was very happy he got to stay home and watch the Vikings beat the Bears! He did find time to take a picture of Syd in the drum!

Home Depot

I was looking all over the house for Sydneys pacifer. I asked Sam if she knew where it was, she said "no" then she said"I know where it's at, it's at Home Depot. We have to drive there to go get it!" Silly girl!!

Superfranks again

This morning Sams playgroup met at Superfranks. It's a great place for me to take all the kids...something for all of them to do. I did at one point lose both of the twins...they are getting to be fast little buggers! We had a fun little gift exchange which I neglected to take pictures of. Sam was so confused with the concept of bringing a gift for no one in particular. She thought that was odd. She picked out a book which I think she was a little disappointed in since she has the same book but she didnt get to upset. Jaina isnt the only one in Sams playgroup but I didnt take very many pictures today!



the first video, Jaina tried to pull Sam... and the second is weeee.

Pate Cabin

This weekend we headed to the snow. It was the first time Sad been to it (the twins too) and she thought it was so cool. Once we hit the altitude where there was snow on the ground she was so excited. We asked her what color it was and she said "black" sometimes she gets black and white confused. According to her we were going to Emilys cabin in the snow. We got there with plenty of time to play. Sam doesnt have the best boots or gloves for the snow but she still and fun. I couldnt get the boots I had for Syd on her feet so she wore her robeez and her feet got really cold. After we got home I realized I didnt take one picture of Cj in her little snow outfit. A fun time was had by all! The Pates have the most beautiful home.

Barley has always loved the snow. He's getting to be such an old dog. The Pates house is 3 stories tall and he had a rough time with all the stairs.

Gymnastics

Tonight was the last night of gymnastics and Sam really wanted us all to go. The twins had so much fun playing on everything. Sam always has fun. Her favorite thing is the rings. She kept twirling on it and then she'd get all dizzy and say "gymnastics is moving" to cute.
