Can you guess what we made this weekend?








If you guessed pasties you were right. I don;t have any pictures of the assembly. The twins were quietly napping and Mike, Megan, and Bob went to see "The Polar Bear Plunge" in downtown, so I assembled them in peace and quiet. It went pretty fast, we eneded making 22 pasties. They turned out really tasty!

Bob and Megan also made a fort of blankets to sleep in Saturday night. Megan slept good, Bob said he tossed and turned all night - I think I would have bailed as soon as she feel asleep!

Last weekend we headed down to Columbus to visit the Voakes family. Mike's cousin Jan and her daughter Alyssa were up (from Alabama - right Bob?) for the long weekend. We hadn't seen them since I was pregnant with the twins I believe. Alyssa turned five today so there were a lot of girls around the same age. We hardly saw the girls all weekend, they all played together very well. We tried to get some pictures of all of the little cousins but it didn't go so well, oh well - we tried.

In other news, Megan is beginning gymnastics on Thursday. She is very excited, she must talk about all day in school also because her teacher keeps telling me how excited she is. Megan will be bringing home her 2nd report card on Friday, hopefully it is as good as the first. Her teacher told me she is getting very good at her reading and writing, she told me she hopes she isn't bored in first grade. She LOVES to read!

The twins are doing recognizing their letters and learning their sounds. Annalyse is very intriqued by letters - everwhere there is an "A" she said, there is Annalyse. She also knows M for Meredith, K for Kennedy, T for Tony from daycare. I would say she knows about 75% of her letters. Meredith is doing good also, she is just not as interested as Annalyse. The potty training is going well. Annalyse still needs reminders to use the bathroom, I would say that Meredith is all potty trained when she is awake.

That's about it, have a great week. I am going to try to get some videos this week of the twins signing their alphabet.

Let's Go to the Movies, Let's Go See the Stars ...

10 bonus points to whoever can guess what movie that is from.

We made our first family trip to the movie theatre today. We went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks, the Squeakal. The girls loved the movie. Annalyse loved the dancing (she was dancing in her seat), Megan loved the Chipettes, and Meredith loved the popcorn (she liked the movie also). The twins sat good, they were getting a little antsy toward the end but if there hadn't been 20 minutes of previews, I think they would have been okay.

We are enjoying our time in the UP celebrating Christmas and spending time with family. Santa was good to the girls, he brought Megan an American Girl doll, bubble gum for her machine, a dry erase board and some other goodies. He brought the twins some "ickey ouse" toys (a hot dog dancer and race track) and a cd player with microphone and a big doll house that they need to wait to play with until we get back to our house.

Sledding Fun

Trip Down Memory Lane


**There is another new post also**

Christmas Preperations

We had a busy week and another coming up. Mike started his new job on Monday, he likes it so far just busy. He is going to have another busy week coming up with training out of town.
We have also been busy getting ready for the holidays.
Last Monday when i was gone to a conference in Lansing over night, he took the girls to the Tree Lighting Ceremony in downtown New Baltimore.
This Friday we celebrated Christmas a little early with our good friends Cristy and Mark and their baby Nathan. We haven't seen them in a while so it was really nice to catch up. The girls waited all week for Nathan to come over.
Saturday we made cut-out sugar cookies. We are waiting to decorate them until we get to the UP. The girls had a fun time but didn't last as long as I thought they would have.

Enjoy the pictures, I decided to do a slideshow since I was having so much trouble last week.
