Playing in the Sand Pile

Grandpa watched the girls while I

went on a photo shoot. He played with them

outside and they spent a lot of time

in the sand pile.

While the girls were playing in

the sand he found this!

An Indian Knife, or part of a Spear Head

that we presume must have came in

with the sand.

Since then we have been playing in the

sand and hoping to find something else.

 Grace has begun to sift the sand.

She thinks every rock is a treasure!

So - she always finds something!

 Just look at her. She's digging!

 And she is completely focused on

her work!

We didn't find any treasures

of our own, but Gracie

sure had fun looking!



Bubble Baths

What is it about Bubble Baths

that kids seem to love?

All three of these girls love BUBBLES!

 I think Grace enjoys bath time the most.

But then, she's unlikely to slip and fall

and go under.... and if she does go under,

she knows how to hold her breath!

 Brilyn concentrates on getting clean

while the other girls play!

And Olivia likes to play Santa Claus!

She gets her head and face covered with

foamy bubbles and says,

"Ho, ho, ho!"

 

So..... "Ho, ho, ho..... Merry Christmas!"

I hope you have some good, clean

holiday fun!

Our Little Gymnast

While our little gymnasts were

here visiting they wanted to

show us what they could do.

So Grandpa and Uncle Deuce held

Grandpa's monopod up for them to

use as a bar.

Olivia has just started taking

gymnastics!

But just look at her!

She can swing off of the sofa

and onto that bar with

no problems at all! 

 And she already knows that

when she lands she is

supposed to throw her

hands up!

 Grace swung on the bar and

did a little trick!

I'm sure there is a name for

the trick, but if she told me,

I don't remember.

But - I think she did a great

job doing whatever it was

that she was doing!

And she had fun doing it!

And fun is the main

objective at this age....

Or - at least it's supposed to be!

The Easter Bunny Stopped By

Would you just look at that!

The Easter Bunny stopped in

for Christmas Pictures,

so I just had to share.

How cute is that?

Santa Claus Stopped by for a Tea Party!

 Santa Claus stopped by a little

early this year!

 He wanted to make sure each of

these little ones were being good

and to have some one on one time with

them before the Holiday Rush!

 He helped Gracie serve up some

tea and cookies!

 Yummy! Who doesn't like

Christmas Cookies?

 And each of the girls got a chance to do

pictures with Santa!

 They went for Razor Rides!

Unloaded gifts...

And opened presents!

 And it took every bit of that for Grace

and Olivia to warm up to Santa!

 Brilyn, on the other hand

was won right over with a piece of chocolate!

My how that girl loves chocolate!

 For Olivia, Santa has to work just a

little bit harder to get on

her "nice" list!

Give me a present!

Now..... that's NICE!

SOMEONE Needs Their Hair Fixed!

SOMEONE

Needs their hair fixed!

They really do!

Just look at it!

 It's a MESS!

There, now.....

That's better!

Thank you, Brilyn!

You've been a big help!

Playing in the leaves!

 Isn't Brilyn cute playing in the leaves?

 She is such a sweet and happy

little thing!

She is just full of personality!
