A Snowman In St. George

 

 

 

We sure had some crazy weather this week! So crazy the Megan got to build her first snowman! It was so fun to make one together. We used rocks for the eyes and a piece of licorice for the smile. Megan was bummed because by noon her snowman, Frosty, was beginning to melt. I had to console her by telling her thats what happens when the sun comes out. All of the snow was gone by the end of the day, but it was a very fun morning!!

Dancing Queen!

 

 

 

 

Megan had her Christmas dance recital on Saturday night. She did a dance to "Jingle Bells." She knew her dance the very best out of all the dancers in her group (in her mom's biased opinion!). She was nervous to be backstage with the older girls. She really loves to dance!

Santa Claus is Coming to Town!

 

 

Megan finally felt that this was the year that she could sit on Santa's lap! She never has before and she wanted to this year! She stopped talking to him to pose for the pictures. She was shy too, but she did ask him for a Bouncehouse Trampoline and High School Musical stuff. She even got a candy cane when she was done. She couldn't stop talking about it the rest of the day! I guess she realized he really wasn't that bad!

Its Beginning to look alot like Christmas!

 

Megan's favorite Christmas decoration is this snowman. It dances and sings "Ice Ice Baby!" Megan sings it as "Ice Ice Skating." Jason and I don't have the heart to tell her what the words really are!

 

Ryan's favorite Christmas decoration is Rudolph. He sings and his nose lights up. Ryan only tries to grab the red nose the whole time its playing.

 

Our Christmas countdown! Megan looks forward to every morning when she can take out the decoration for the day. She informs Jason and I constantly that Christmas is coming very soon!

 

Making a gingerbread man on skis at Hurst cooking classes. We love this at Hurst every Tuesday! The best part is that its FREE!

Puzzle-Mania

 

Megan is really into puzzles lately. She can do puzzles that have up to 25 pieces. She loves them and mom loves it because it keeps her busy for a few minutes!

I've Been Tagged!!

So, I was tagged by my friend Julie and I have a little bit of time on my hands, so... here goes!!

7 Weird Things About Me:
1. My towels in my bathroom have to be folded and hung a certain way on the racks. When someone goes in and uses them and tries to fold them how they were, expect me to go in and "fix" them!!
2. I have a minor panic attack when I am about to finish a book and I don't have another lined up to begin reading! I have to keep my stack in my bedroom up so that doesn't happen! I always have my book on my coffee table I'm currently reading.
3. I absolutely have to floss my teeth every night before I go to bed! No matter how tired I am, I have to floss!!
4. I always have to carry chap-stick in my pocket! I'm not fully dressed until I have that in my pocket. I never know when my lips are going to get dry and need some moisture!!
5. When I am eating any meal, the food on my plate can't be touching each other! It all has to be by itself! I know it all goes to the same spot, but seeing it touching on my plate drives me crazy!!
6. I constantly wash my hands! That might be a little OCD, but whenever I touch something that might not be too clean, I have to wash my hands. Needless to say, my hands get a little dry!
7. I have to go to bed with a drink of water on my nightstand. That might make me sound like a really old lady, but I never know when I wake up if I'm going to be thirsty or not!
