Talking Eve

Eve loves to see her reflection. We were able to capture a little conversation she was having with herself in these videos. Enjoy!

Miriam's 1st Haircut

Miriam got her 1st haircut this week. The girls had an afternoon out and went to Snip-It's- a kids hair salon here in Georgia. I had a great coupon that made the visit even better! Miriam was a little scared at first but once one of the stylists started blowing bubbles, she became distracted enough for the other stylist to do the cutting.

Miriam was fascinated with the box of hair clips. She especially liked the red jewels that she later got to stick in her hair.
Miriam and her new style!

Afterwards we went to the grocery store for a chocolate chip cookie reward for being brave. What would a girls outing be without some form of chocolate?

Miriam and the Alphabet

Miriam was super cute singing the alphabet. Listen carefully for Luke providing help when she got stuck.

Here is Miriam telling us what her favorite letter is:

Marshmallow Igloo

Luke started a pre-K program here in Georgia shortly after we moved. He attends Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. One of of his assignments was to make an igloo at home and bring it in to the class to show. We decided to make an igloo out of marshmallows and cream cheese frosting. (2 very delicious sweets!)

Morgan had worked all day but willing spear headed this project with the kids.

Of course we ate more marshmallows then we used in the igloo!
The Fife Igloo

Luke's teacher, Ms. Brenda, was very impressed with his igloo. He got to choose a prize from the Treasure Chest for his hard work. Needless to say, a few days later he begged to make another igloo. His teacher accepted the second igloo too and he got to choose another prize. Luke is definitely motivated by prizes!

Ballerina Miriam

Miriam loves to dance. On Friday morning, it was just us girls at home and she found a tape with ballet music. She had fun dressing up and practicing her steps. She created her own moves and kept dancing for 15 minutes. Here is a short clip from her performance:

Christmas Day

Santa ate our cookies!

Here's a few pictures of the kids opening presents. Santa made his second stop to our kids this season and found them with no problems in NC. Just one more visit from Santa when we get to Georgia and are reunited with Daddy!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Christmas Eve with the Lewis Family

After eating a delicious meal, we settled into the den for a Nativity play by the grandchildren. Luke was Joseph and Kaitlyn was Mary. Eve played as baby Jesus. Miriam was supposed to be an angel but wanted the role of Mary instead. What a diva! Madison was an angel and Connor was a wise man.

After the play, we opened gifts. Here's Miriam opening the pots and pans that Maw Maw gave her. She was so happy and just smiled so much!

Luke was excited to get more Book of Mormon scripture action figures from Maw Maw.

Eve acted impartial to most of her gifts but I think she will love them all in just a few months! ( I liked them all and can't wait to start playing with them.)

Paw Paw gave Connor this cool tractor. Doesn't he look so cute sitting there with his John Deere hat?


We had a great afternoon with the family and the kids were so tuckered out that when I asked them to lay in bed with me for a nap, I didn't get any refusals. They were out in 3 minutes! Now that is what I call a Merry Christmas!
