Playing with their dolls. They love their dolls.

The girls in their matching dresses. Thank you MomMom and PopPop.

Lost and Found. I found the missing package from MomMom and PopPop. The girls had fun opening the goodies in the box.

How Sweet...

It is nice to see this when the majority of the time the girls are picking on each other. They just sat there talking to each other!

A few stories...

The one morning, Isabella came out of the bathroom with our toothbrushes and what we thought was tooth paste. Upon a more careful inspection of Isabella's choice of tooth paste, we don't think she would like to brush her teeth with the ointment in the picture...

Isabella was really out the one afternoon for her nap.
Now, I am surprised at Isabella sharing her favorite blanket with Demitri. She moved the blanket that I had on Demitri and put her blanket on Demitri. She left it there for a long time.

Bath Time

Demitri loves taking his bath in the bathroom sink. He has outgrown the sink fast!

Christmas Morning

Alessandra is serious. She is telling us that we need to wait till Isabella is awake to start opening presents.

My Dream - to fly but with Billy behind me

What do you think??? How do we all look?

Isabella was too scared to sit on Santa's lap. Maybe next year all three will be in the picture?

How about a story...

So, on Sunday, Billy was on call and did not make it to church. I was there with all three kids. Isabella was in the nursery, friends of mine were holding Demitri, and Alessandra was sitting with me. Alessandra asked to go to the bathroom and wanted to go all by herself. I told her she has to close the door, flush the toilet, and wash her hands. (I thought I had all my basis covered) So, this was during the sermon. She went to the bathroom, but did not close the door. I thought, oh well, other kids do that too. Well, what came next, hold on. All you hear coming from the bathroom is "Mommy I need help! Mommy I need help!" People laugh and without missing a beat, the pastor says "Someone help that child." (he was smiling of course as he has two children of his own) Now, I am sitting towards the back of the church and can hear her like she is sitting next to me. So, if that is not bad enough, it gets worse. I am sure you are wondering how much worse it can get...well, let me tell you. As I am swiftly going towards the bathroom, she continues with this..."Mommy, I need help, I pooped!" Everyone started laughing, but me. I just happen to be wearing a red sweater so you can guess how red my face looked. Billy would have had a complete cow if he was there.

Pictures with Santa

Isabella with Santa

Alessandra with Santa

In town this weekend, they had all kinds of fun things to do including pictures with Santa. Alessandra was not afraid. Isabella was terrified. Alessandra went on Santa's lap, told him what she wanted, and he gave her 2 candy canes. One for her and one for Isabella. When Isabella had her candy cane, Daddy said to her "You should go and say thank you." Well, without any hesitation, Isabella went to say thank you and Santa asked her if she would sit on his lap. Again, without hesitation, she went.

Exhausted Girls

The both started out on my lap, awake. Isabella was the first to fall asleep, then Alessandra.
