The Impossible Dream

Trying to get a picture of the girls together in their pretty Christmas dresses...
Several attempts were made before, during and after brunch..these were as close as we got. Daniella is too mobile and she is just getting over a sinus infection. One day...

In their dress up coats...so cute!!

Mom and Dad...Grandma and Grandpa

Just a couple daddy-daughter pictures before the big MSU basketball game...

Sparty On

Dj took marianna to her first msu basketball game at the palace today.  She was sooooo excited for their "date". Who needs a son?!  This girl can hang! ....and she saw quite a game!

Oh Christmas Tree 2010

What a difference a year makes! We had the Christmas tree up this year one week before Thanksgiving (shocker), but that way we all get to enjoy it longer. Daniella has been obsessed with the ornaments and pulling them off the tree and Marianna loves to move ornaments around the tree. There goes my beautiful, beloved, perfect tree...
We also have 2 nativities this year...and they both get played with daily, especially by Daniella.

If we can't locate Daniella, chances are she is up to no good, in this little spot, playing with the ornaments. Her favorite one is the sparkly, red, disco ball ones.

Lately

I am so thankful to have my camera back! Here are some pictures of how we have been passing the time...in the playroom, playing with the Christmas, dressing up as a bride and singing to Taylor Swift videos on the tv...you know, the usual...

Elf (Elfie) on the shelf has been great for Marianna. She has told him everything she wants for Christmas: A Pet Shop, MobiGo, a go-go walking pup and a painted snake. (oh and a new kitchen!!)

Every morning it is her favorite thing to do is find Elfie! (he likes to hide in very creative places!)
