Messy, Messy, Messy

OK- so this morning Macie and I had the usual for breakfast- hot cocoa and toast. Like usual, I gave her some hot cocoa in a little Macie cup. And once again- like usual- I left Macie in the dining room to finish her hot cocoa while I cleaned up breakfast and loaded the dishes. Well- after about 2 minutes I decided that I should check on her- Here is what I found!

(Yes that is chocolate milk all over Macie, my table, the floor, the walls- EVERYTHING!!

Let's just say that my dining room got a really good cleaning this morning!

Sledding!

When we were home, we went to Bear Lake with my family and we stayed in a condo there. We went sledding on a few hills while there. Here are a few pics of us sledding. Geoff was taking the pictures so I was the one going down the hills with Macie. On the biggest hill we went down- everybody was crashing at the bottom- so when Macie and I went down- Geoff was at the bottom to try and catch Macie in case we crashed. Anyways- we ended up not crashing because of the ditch at the bottom of the hill- we crashed because we ran into Geoff who didn't move out of the way fast enough! Pretty funny! Unfotunatley we don't have any pictures of this- however- we do have it all on video if any of you would ever like to see it!

Decorating Cookies!!

Ok- so sorry it has been so long since the last post. We were out of town and then I just haven't thought about it since we have been home. So I am going to do a few posts and let you know how our vacation was.

First- here is Macie helping frost sugar cookies. She had a lot of fun and really enjoyed eating them. Aunt Nana is helping her.

Playing in the Snow

We are in Twin Falls and took Macie outside the other day to play in the snow. Here she is in her big snow suit. She then proceeded to fall into a trailor that was parked on the side of the road. She landed right on the hitch with her mouth hitting first. Luckily- she lost no teeth and just has a really fat lip from it. It was kind of scary because of the amount of blood- but all is well.

Christmas Morning!!

We had our Christmas today becuase we are going out of town on Saturday and couldn't begin to pack all of our presents. It was so fun to do our own thing! Macie loved it! She was so excited to come down those stairs and see that kitchen that Santa brought. Then in the end- she was so excited to get her baby doll and stroller she wouldn't let them go. She also got a little purse with her baby which she is CONSTANTLY trying to wear and keep on her shoulder. She gets mad everytime it falls off and promptly turns to the purse and screams at it. Way to FUNNY!!

It was great. Once she opened one present and realized that something cool was inside- all she wanted to do was open the rest. She wouldn't really even look at what was in them- (unless it really caught her eye) she would just go and grab the next one. It was pretty funny. Needless to say- it was a WonDerFul Morning! Here are some of the pics from our Christmas!

Santa!!!!

We had our ward Christmas party the other day. We were so excited to see Macie see Santa and sit on his lap. We stayed the whole time just waiting for Santa. Finally- Santa showed up!! So we dashed to the front of the line (so we could leave and go home.) Well- needless to say all of our waiting was totally worth it just for this picture!!

Chagrin Falls

On Saturday we had the chance to go with some friends out to a little quaint town called Chagrin Falls. It was so fun! We went in hopes of seeing Santa- but Santa wouldn't be there for another 2 hours- so we just took our Family pic in front of the tree where Santa will be. Then we took a walk around the town. There are some waterfalls and a cute little park where there are ducks. Macie loved it. She was so excited to see the ducks and she loved the waterfalls too. We could have stayed there all day and she would have been happy- she did throw quite the fit when we left. It lasted all of the way to the car, where we had her sandwhich waiting for her. Then she was happy. Anyways- here are a few pics of our adventure.

Basket Head

The other day I was cleaning my kitchen and I found Macie doing this with my baskets. Too Funny!!

Hot Cocoa

So almost every morning for breakfast I have hot chocolate and toast. Well- Macie likes to have this with me and so we share the hot chocolate. The other morning while eating breakfast- Macie started to freak out when I left the table with the hot cocoa and so I came back and she wanted to hold it. Way to cute! Seeing her hold this big mug is really funny! She now does this every time we have this for breakfast. Well- when it happened the first time- I just had to get some pictures of it- so here they are.

Clock

Here is our newest project. It was so fun to do and it looks so good!! Who would have thought that we could be this creative?!! Yes- they are all real clocks with the correct times. The one in the middle is a working clock as well. Cool huh!! Let me know what you think about our new addition!
