Team Jogan

My parents were around for a couple of weeks and we had lot of fun! The kids loved having them around. We went to Hop To It (a bouncy house), we visited family in Utah, we played lots of kid board games, and just hung out together! :)

My girls dressed up as "Santa's"! :)

We've been told in Twin Falls the snow rarely sticks for longer than a day... But we've has some pretty crazy weather. I've been told by numerous people that they haven't seen weather like this for many many years. It's been pretty cold and this snow has been around for about a month!!

The girls loved playing in it with daddy and Grandpa Obray.

On Christmas Eve we watched some movies about Christ's birth. Numerous times the girls and I talked about how Santa brings presents to celebrate Jesus' birthday :)

Breakfast on Christmas morning! The girls woke up at 8 and wanted to eat before they opened presents :) I guess I should enjoy that before they start waking up at 5 am, haha!

The tree and presents before they got opened!

Checking out the stockings. Daddy bought huge ones this year... We could have stuck Abby in one! But she wasn't up for that :)

Opening presents, both of the girls had a blast and loved their presents.

Abby with her spoils!

Emma and her presents!

The girls wearing a princess jewelry set that Abby got.

They got a trampoline! Emma begged for one... And we weren't up for a big one :)

Talking to Uncle Mike on Christmas Day! He comes home on Jan 23! Pretty excited to have him home, even if it's to Tennesee. My parents flew in to visit on Christmas Day and got there about 7pm. So they weren't able to talk to Mike so we got a good chat in. Emma took this picture :)

The girls LOVE to play games. We got a few before and for Christmas and they could play them OVER and OVER again. It's fun... But whew! It can be tough, haha.

Abby loves to use diaper wipes as blankets for her dolls... Drives me CRAZY! Haha, if I don't catch her, we go through them like nobodies business :)

Wrestling... Remind you of a couple of boys?

Daddy being the best dad ever! Being silly with the girls.

Trying to wake Abby up from a nap. She cracks me up!

I found these matching Christmas dresses at a second hand store in the girls sizes and I only spent $14 total!!

My little baby turned 2! I really can't believe it :)

She loved being the center of attention and making all of the decisions. On the other hand it was probably the worst day of Emma's life ;) she had to let Abby choose what cake to make and the color of the frosting and what movie to watch for quiet time, and what birthday balloons to pick, etc. I don't think she's ever let Abby make that many choices in a row ever before, and it was really tough for her.

Abby loved her presents. We had some friends over to open presents and eat cake and ice cream. Abby got some ponies, a Minnie Mouse set, fairies, Pete the cat book and doll, a cute little monkey outfit, and a puppy stuffed animal.

Abby is a sweet little thing. She loves to give hugs and kisses. She loves snuggles or "nuggles" as she calls them. Her favorite movie is either Cars or TinkerBell. Her favorite color is purple and she always asks for the purple binky instead of the pink one. She loves to follow Emma and copy her. It drives Emma nuts but it's really cute :) She loves to read books and comb my hair. She has a fierce little personality and loves the word no. She has THE BEST facial expressions; if looks could kill... Haha. Anyway, she is super attached to me and still rarely sleeps through the night. But we love her to death and are so glad she's a part of our little family!

So excited about her birthday cake!

Opening presents!

 

 

Enjoying the cake and ice cream!
