Molly's Dance Party

Molly looks forward to the Christmas party at Griffith Academy every year - Santa comes and they get to dance for the parents so I love it, too. Auntie Beth is finally home and the kids could not be more excited - the snow kept us from seeing her yesterday but we got our fill today as we celebrated Uncle Colin's big two four!Molly and Abby had a blast at their Christmas parties and Papa was there to see it all.Stretches before class.I love the look on Molly's face when she dances - bliss!Annie loved the dancing and the cookies.Poor Lizzie can not get over this cold.Molly and Molly are always partners and they have so much fun together!Molly girl and Santa - how beautiful is my girl?Molly and Molly Garrahey showing off the toys that Santa brought for them.Norah, Molly and MollyAnnie in her Santa dress!Annie was so excited to go sit with the big girls during the break between classes.My girls loving each other!

My boy is amazing - he was all snuggled up on the couch watching Christmas movies in front of the fire when Bob went out to shovel the driveway - he immediately ran and got his snow stuff and yelled out to Bob that we would be out in a minute to help him with the walk. He did the whole walk and sidewalk and the stairs and path to the road. He was so proud of himself when Bob came in and thanked him for helping so much - what a wonderful little boy! I have lots of pictures from Uncle Colin's birthday party tonight but I'll post those tomorrow! GNM - ILY!

Lots of baby pictures!

Sleep is not really happening over here in the Harding - Wheeler house. All three babies have been sick with croup and various forms of cold and flu. The big kids have been feeling icky but nothing awful - just colds and tired. And NO ONE sleeps when they feel gross - at least not in our house! Good thing we have some really cute kids!

I love tubby time - I am so happy that we got this huge sink so we can fit both babies at the same time - they have a blast together and I thoroughly enjoy watching them together! Oh and they probably get at least a tiny bit clean.
Happy babies playing with duckies in the tubby!

Nothing better than soaped up babies!

Except soaped up babies with a duck stuck in their mouth!

The big brother taking care of his girls - BOb and I can probably just start leaving him with the kids soon - he is pretty darn capable. BTW - I am only admitting this to my blog fans - I had to check the outfit to figure out if it was Lizzie or Annie in Pete's arms - it's Lizzie!

My beautiful angel asleep on the couch - I need the life of a two year old just for one day!

This bouncy chair is for babies up to 6 months old but all three of our babies still love it!

Scary how dirty they get during the day - and how cute they are!

Molly and Annie playing Twister! Love those little butts!

Lizzie with her candy from Auntie Beth - this was pre-sugar high!

Ellie loved her package from Auntie Beth but she just threw it on the floor - she clearly does not get the concept of candy yet or she would have been all over it.

Annie is the one who LOVES packages from Auntie Beth - she goes nuts waiting to see if there is anything for her and what it is. Take for instance the Dora Bandaids
- note the one on her shirt already - she shook and yelled - "I'm happy - so happy" when this particular item came out of the box!

Ellie liked her reindeer bowls from Auntie Beth's package but then the tape got stuck to her fingers and she flipped out - we all got a laugh but she was not amused!

Excuse me - polar bear bowls!

Annie could not have been happier about all of her goodies! We went to see the Princess and the Frog today and she was asking for a candy cane all day - and wouldn't you know Auntie Beth is magic and sent one in the package that arrive - literally - the minute we got home.

Lizzie somehow got the chocolate bell out of the bag and out of the wrapper and in her mouth before any of us noticed - she totally deserved it after handling spagetti for dinner.

Scary face - Annie can not be told to smile - she just can't make it look candid!

Molly girl loved the package but really just wants her Auntie home NOW!

And this is tonight - BOb left for poker and Lizzie decided that sugar frenzy should be somethign we share so she stayed up ALL night with me. 11:57 a.m. and she had just gone in!

"I swear I only had one piece of chocolate, Mommy!"

I love those baby blues!

So we decided that we chose the perfect godparents for Lizzie - she snacks alot and LOVES the cell phone! You should see her text!

Pretty talented, my girl - texting, talking and eating!

I'm off to sleep for the hour or so that the babies all sleep - I promise to be better about blogging and getting pictures up - Christmas is coming so there should be plenty of pictures to come!

GNM - ILY!
