Audrie's 1st Snowgirl

Tuesday was a nice day with lots of snow so Audrie and I bundled up to go outside and make a snowgirl. We started rolling...and rolling...and rolling and nothing was happening. Little did I know that the snow was not very easy to pack because it was too dry, but I was determined to make one with Audrie before Christmas! I had to bring buckets of water outside to wet the snow down. 2 hours later!!! We have this cute little snowgirl (not much bigger than Audrie) that was made with a lot of effort and love :)

Audrie did a great job putting on the carrot for her nose (we only had baby carrots)


She loved pointing to her eyes

This one was taken by Audrie herself...she is getting quite good! :)

Once there was a snowgirl...

And her friend Audrie (please don't melt too soon!!!)

P.S. Since I'm behind on posts...this was Tuesday last week...today is Monday and all the snow is gone. We came home and Audrie shouted oh no! Her snowgirl melted...:( At least she knows and understands the song "Once there was a snowman"...

Audrie knows Santa...whoops!

So little ones don't read...pssst that means Carter & Spencer...

Audrie's Papa Turley dressed up as Santa for their ward Christmas party this year and we didn't wake up early enough to make it. Well on Sunday Santa came to see Audrie! He walked around the corner and I was not sure how she would react really...I thought we might get nervous Audrie who likes to hide from strange men talking to her. But as soon as she saw him, she said "Papa...ho ho ho!" Crack up!!! She knows her Papa and now she knows Santa. When we see any Santa, it's "Papa!" I'm sure we will be able to convince her next year that Santa really is a jolly old man who lives at the North Pole and watches you to see if you are nice...we will see. She has an amazing memory, but is also pretty easy to reason with. I wouldn't have traded this sweet experience for Santa remaining a stranger. It was super sweet!

"Papa...ho ho ho!" (I wish I would have been standing to see her face!)

Santa's coat is soft

I've been a really good girl

I'll prove how sweet I am :)

I love you Santa!

This Santa likes to play

The classic tug on Santa's beard

Papa I knew it was you all along :)

Cute Christmas Toes

My sister gave me a pedicure for my birthday :) She is so good to me!

She even put a cute snowflake with a rhinestone on each toe and sent me home with a fun bag full of pedicure must haves.

Thanx again Jenni! You truly are the best!!! LOVE YOU!

Sleepover Fun

Over their Thanksgiving break, we had our niece & nephew Madison & Franklin over to spend the night. We had a great time & Audrie looooved having them over.

She just loves Madison and I watched her take her hand and say "c'mon...let's play" soooo sweet!

We played hide & seek Audrie's favorite game!

Nope not in there...

Maybe in here...

There they are!!!

A little Super Mario Brothers...always fun!


Madison & I love to scrapbook together & we had a little scrapper until she was partied out...and that wasn't until much much later :).


Gluing paper to her coloring book all by herself

More hide & seek...the girls are hiding

The game never ends with this little one :)

It's just too much fun!
Yeah for sleepovers!

Thanx for coming over to play! We had fun!!!
