Denver Museum

Santa brought our family a Year Pass to Denver's Children Museum. Our lives have changed :) We will be found there very very often. Our first visit with our Family Pass this year.

Christmas 2013

Santa was good to us. We feel so blessed.

 Angela was so funny and cute to watch. Her animation was so sweet after seeing/opening her presents and exclaiming how much she loved each of them.

 One of my favorite gifts from Carolyn for Christmas...a letter.

 The girls were so cute. They each had already picked out a gift for each other with my money but wanted to use their own money to buy each other a present. We went to the Dollar Store and the girls were giddy as they picked out presents they thought each other would love. Carolyn had saved up money for months to give some presents to people that didn't have as much money for Christmas. She used her saved up money and bought a couple of people presents. It was so sweet. Carolyn was so cute and sneaky...she bought me some scrubbers for Christmas using her own hard-earned money. She asked me before we went to the store what cleaning supplies I thought her friend would want for Christmas..."What would you want, mom?" Then we went to the Dollar Store and she was sneaky and bought me the scrubbers. What a sweetheart. She went to the cashier and checked out all herself so I wouldn't see.

 Carolyn got a TON of games!! We spent Christmas crafting and playing games.

 Beautiful girl in her PJ dress :)

 LOVE this girl :)

 Carolyn with her password electronic diary :) ...it will only open to her voice using her password.

 Angela got 4 pairs of shoes for Christmas...this girl was in heaven :)

 Daddy wrote everyone a sweet letter. This was one of my favorite gifts. Yes, I have the best husband in the world and, yes, the girls have the best dad.

 Angela was the sweetest ever. For Christmas presents, she colored pictures of things people love. Here is a picture Angela carefully picked out for dad...Minnie playing BASKETBALL. What a perfect and thoughtful gift for Dad from Angela.

 Angela picked out a picture of a butterfly for Carolyn because Carolyn loves butterflies.

Christmas was amazing!! I love our Christmas traditions!

Christmas Eve 2013

Angela getting stylish and ready for the Christmas Program. She danced a beautiful dance to princess music! She is so graceful and can listen and dance beautifully to music.

 Looking good in that makeup, girl :)

 Emily LOVES and HAS to help Mom make dinner, clean, do laundry, etc. She is my little side-kick who loves helping 24/7. All the girls helped with the dinner but here Em is helping me with the creamed carrots.

 One of my all-time favorite pictures of Emily

 For Carolyn and Emily's talent...Carolyn played on piano "Up on the Housetop" while Emily sang and danced to moves Carolyn taught her. Carolyn also joined in for moves.
