Catch-up Post for December

OK, so this is a catch-up post for Christmas!

Campbell had her first dance recital! It was a tap and ballet recital. She did SO well! She knew all the steps and had great rhythm! She almost never looked to the teacher off to the side for guidance, and she smiled SO much more than I would have expected! She gets really embarrassed if we ask her to show us her dance at home, so I wasn't sure if she'd smile during the performance. She really impressed us!!

The girls had a pajama day at school in December. Here are a few pics of them before heading to school!

On Christmas Eve Eve (Dec 23rd), we took the girls to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. It was Cooper and Conley's first movie at the theater. They were really excited and really did great! Of course each girl had popcorn, drink and candy so there were no complaints...LOL! The twins sat in our laps most of the time, or we had to hold their seat down since it kept folding up on them. They really did watch the movie though, so it was definitely a successful trip!

Conley...being silly AGAIN

The night before Christmas, Campbell sprinkled the reindeer food on the front lawn so the reindeer would know to come to our house. It was super cute! She had made it at school with cheerios for the reindeer to eat and glitter for the reindeer to see their way to the house. She went outside with her jacket and undies on...and it was cold! Too funny!!

Campbell also baked 2 cookies for Santa and left some carrots out for the reindeer of course accompanied by a glass of milk. Santa brought stocking goodies for the entire family and a few "big gifts" for the girls. Campbell got Cookie the Playful Pup and a Dinosaur Train Leggo set. Cooper and Conley each got a "Very Real Baby" doll that is really interactive. There were lots of smiles Christmas morning.

Cooper and Conley may have been most excited about their Dora and Tinkerbell Band-Aids and Dora and Diego tooth brushes that were in their stockings.

Here are a few other pics of the girls opening gifts Christmas night. Conley was excited to show off her new night gown with matching scrunchy and new coat. Cooper is also sporting her new night gown and holding a new bear. Campbell was thrilled to get a Wuggle Pet kit, which she of course recognized from TV commercials :-) .

We had a great 5 days off to spend with the girls over Christmas. The day after Christmas we were crazy enough to hit up the mall for a few things. Campbell took her doll and stroller for the insane trip, and the twins insisted on wearing their new coats.

It was a great Christmas for all!! Next year we are looking forward to spending Christmas together as a family of SIX!! Did you notice the extra stocking with no name??? :-)
