We survived
We survived xmas barely. We got so many things that mom now is looking at bigger houses(literally). Stella bonked her head the friday before xmas and got a huge bump which now has changed into two black eyes. It is hard not to laugh at her when she growls at you with those eyes because she looks so tough. O has been trying to catch up on sleep but she has still been overly stimulated with all of the new things that she got. Mom took down the tree yesterday and she didn't know what to do with herself. She thought she did something wrong when in reality she just needed to have it explained to her that we will put up a tree again next year but for now xmas is over. Now on to the big 2 for Stella!!

Christmas
This year is so exciting for Christmas. Olivia really is getting into the spirit which I love because I think it is the best holiday. We have been rocking out to holiday tunes most days. Stella is much more aware of who Santa is but still not quite into him as O.
O wakes up everyday since we got our tree and turns the lights on in the living room which are connected to the tree and says "Good Morning Tree"
We went to Target one day and I let them roam the toy isles for about an hour (not the best idea but they were good about it) and that is where Olivia found the Barbie Mermaid and Friends that she has been asking Santa for everyday since that incredible moment. We immediately went home and wrote our letters to Santa in which Olivia asked for her Barbie and Stella asked for a ball, and Tinker belle (Mommy already ended up caving on the ball since they sell them in a quarter machine at Old Navy and they were then less crabby and I could get more shopping done).
When we went to see Santa that was the best because she was so excited to see him that she went into her baby mode where she was not sure how to talk. They took their photo and then she finally had her moment that was pushed by mom but she said can I have a barbie mermaid and friends? She origianlly told me that she was going to tell Santa that he was to bring her Barbie Mermaid but I had to slowly explain to her that we do not tell Santa what to bring we simply ask for it. Stella got close enough to Santa to give him a high five and that was about all. She still says that she is getting a tinker belle though.
Then the other day they both got an individualized email video from Santa telling them that they needed to be nice. I thought O was going to pee her pants she was so excited.
Stella kept saying "Thats me" Thats me" ( This is her new phrase and she especially likes to use it when she gets somewhere and introduces herself, Its me)
We all can not wait for Santa to come tonight. I think mommy is just as excited as the girls.
Other fun things we have been doing this holiday season. . .
We have been making cookies, and the girls helped decorate the house. We have been dancing to holiday tunes. O took a tumbling class but it did not go well because there were about 25 3 and 4 year olds with one teacher. We all liked going though and watching. We made decorations and presents. We took the girls to the holidazzle for the first time and they loved it. Stella kept shouting some more, some more.
I took them to holiday on 44th at my work which has become me and the girls new tradition. They love going to my work so much that after we went on the horse drawn hayride we went into the gym where there was a live band the girls just kicked off all of their winter stuff including their socks and shoes and started dancing. They saw Santa there too. They love that event so much O has been talking about it since last year and they already are asking when we can go to my work and ride on the horses again.
Happy Holidays
