Merry Christmas

Today was a busy Christmas day. Lillian was so confused about it being Jesus Birthday and that she was getting gifts. She kept wondering if she would have to take her gifts to Jesus later. I got up early and made eggs and Cinnamon rolls for breakfast, then it was off to my dad's house. From there we made a quick stop at Aunt Sheba's house (because she spoils the girls) and to my mom's mom house (Grandma Rice) There Lillian got the new Little Mermaid DVD (she screamed because she was so excited ) I got the girls down for naps (thankfully they were long good naps) And then we had Christmas at my moms. The girls were blessed with Tons of toys and gifts there. Lillian couldn't decide what to play with first. Addison just loves her baby dolls. She have some screeching screams as well because she was so excited to get a baby out of the package. She could hardly wait.
Tomorrow we will go to Great Grandma Bollenbachers house. Then our last Christmas will be New Years eve with Eventt's sisters. wheew....

Christmas

Santa came a little early to the Norris house. He had to come early cause we have such a busy day tomorrow with multiple family Christmas. He somehow snuck in while the girls were napping. I guess he even asked daddy to help him unload the sleigh. Anyway the girls were surprised. It was fun to watch We video taped it all and I was so excited watching them I forgot to take pics while they opened the presents. I did take pics afterwards though. They have played all night with everything especially Lillian. I will write more later.

Baking

Had to share this!

Last Friday night the girls, Eventt, and I decided to make Christmas candy and cookies. We needed to make something for our new neighbors. Both girls were big helpers and they love to dump the ingredients into the bowl. Lillian helped daddy roll the Buckeyes. Addie ate it all :)

Fun family memories Baking.

Play Days

A few days ago Lillian made a chain to tear off to let us know how many days until Christmas. She has 2 chains left. Its crazy Christmas has came up so fast. Lillian is very excited about it! I am babysitting the Dejean girls today. Everyone is asleep now ( I should be cleaning up all the toys, but decided to catch up on this instead) Lillian and Ella wrote letters to santa before their naps and we plan to take them to the library later and put them in the mail box there (It goes directly to the North Pole with Over Night shipping) It was cute to here them say what they wanted. Ella wants a Princess tent and Lillian wants a bike. Otherwise they just looked around the room and listed the items they seen.....Christmas tree, building blocks, ect. hahaha....It was funny. They love to use the shape punches and then glue their punched shapes onto the cards.

Should of got a picture of them doing this to add to this blog, but didn't think of it. But I did take some pics of them last week playing with Barbie's. I have attached them. In the one Lillian is playing with all the tiny pieces (like always) and Ella is holding a mirror and a brush. It was so funny to watch her look into the mirror and brush her hair. (wonder where she learned this?)

It is so fun to sit back and watch these to girls play. They have a blast together.

Time of our lives

Ok, Im gonna try to get on this blogging thing again! Eventt and I went to Jamaica for 5 days and it was WONDERFUL! We had an amazing relaxing time. The girls stayed at Eventt's sisters house (Brenda) for a couple days then at my moms house and then with "aunt Sheba". I think they almost had more fun then us!! I know I will remember Jamaica forever!! Eventt surprised me with a new wedding ring. We were thinking about upgrading at 10 years (1 year away) but I guess I got lucky early) It was romantic! We were there with our friends Jason and Lisa which made it fun and had other people to talk with. We snorkeled 3 times and saw an octopus, Sting Rays, and Jelly fish. I have attached some pics. Mostly we relaxed layed on the Beach or in the pool. You could also find us "bellyed up to the bar" quite often.

Sharing Family Memories

I think I will give this blogging thing a try too. I hope it allows me to print off my blogs and save them for the girls when they get older. I think this may be a good way to keep and share fun family memories. My scrap booking days have slowed now that the girls keep me so busy doing other things. I still continue to take tons of pictures of them and plan to share them with everyone on here ( If I can figure that part out). Anyway stay tuned for future blogs and details of our family memories.
