Best of Friends

Kemrie and Lucy are the best of friends, but they are more like sisters. They are 9 months apart, and no siblings should be that close.  They know just how to drive each other crazy.  Lucy has bit Kemrie 3 times so far, but has not bitten anyone else. I believe this is a self defense strategy!  We now know why she needs this! These are pictures of how they act when we are all right there, so what in the world do they do to each other when we're not?

Kemrie Elle

Last weekend all of us siblings were at Ammie's, all of us were in their room watching tv while the boys fixed the computer during halftime.  Lucy and Kemrie were in the tub, as usual, sliding down the back of the tub, also as usual. All the sudden Kemrie slid and did not laugh, so I looked at her and could see blood on her finger.  Her chin was split right open to the bone, I held it together while we got her dressed and out the door to the insta-care Marc and Ammie went.  Kemrie ended up with 1 internal stitch and 5 stitches, which she calls her blue whiskers (her dads favorite color, she always adds that!)  Kemrie Elle the princess who is scared of everything was the first to get stitches! Heres to you Kemrie!

Lunch

Last Thursday Ammie and I took the kids to Iceburg for lunch, and to go shopping. We took Macade, Kemrie and Lucy, Ashton with in school. The kids were being so cute so I snapped these pictures.

Christmas Tree

On Sunday we put up our Christmas tree. This tree is a little different then our tree has been in the past, we only put up ornaments that could not break.  Lucy helped so much, she put 7 things on one branch and 5 on another. Lucy also go sesame street ornaments this year to add to our tree. This time daddy was in charge of the camera.

Lucy's favorite spots

As of late, Lucy is very interested in hiding everything.  Tonight she had hid her sippy cup in the drawer under the stove.  The other day I was doing laundry, and of course Lucy figured out that she fits in the dryer. However, I will not let her play in there, because if you ever saw Punky Brewster when her friend got stuck in the old fridge and almost died, you will know why.  But now instead of helping put clothes in, she is always trying to push them in so far, that she happens to go in with them.

Jazzmine

Marc and Ammie's family have a dog named Jazzmine. Lucy loves this dog so much, she calls her Jazz. Pour Jazz puts up with so much, so I decided she needed her own post. Here is Jazz on Thanksgiving, after Lucy and Kemrie fed her half of their dinners of course.

Black Friday!

I love this day! We did not get up early this year, but Grandma Sandy did sleep the night on Thursday so that we could go shopping. Most years we all go, but this year only the girls went, the boys stayed home with the kids. We left at about 10AM, went to a few stores, went to lunch and then a few more.  But the highlight of the weekend was making candy with Ammie, Stacey, Mom, and Myself. It is so much work, nut so worth it when it is done.
