This weekend we finished Reagan's big girl room furniture! She absolutely loves it, when Quinn sat on her bed she said told her no and pushed her a bit, she did not want Quinn on her new bed! We got her furniture from Ikea, and it is ever sturdy, and weighs a ton! The bed is very low to the ground so she can get in and out by herself, but it is plenty long enough for years to come, Quinn has plenty of room in it. We also got her a 3 drawer dresser, night stand and a wardrobe, which is really big. I haven't finished everything yet, I need to rearrange some pictures and hang so other ones, but it is off to a great start!

Snow Day!

It's really snowing!
Let me see if I can catch one!

Today we got a "big" snowstorm, we have about 4 inches right now, luckily no ice yet. Reagan was a bit under the weather so she stayed in with Lance, since my office closed early I was able to play with Quinn. We built snow castles and tried to make a snow man. Quinn also had great fun trying to catch snowflakes in her mouth! I went to Wal-mart to buy Quinn a sled...can you believe they didn't get any in this year, how crazy is that!

Reagan is still learning new words, yesterday she was trying to say sister. She knows about 15 words now. She is also still doing great in her big bed!

Reagan is becoming such a big girl!

This has been a big week for Reagan...she just had her fourth night sleeping in her big girl bed! We took the side off her crib to make it a toddler bed and she is doing great! She did roll out a couple time because a side rail won't fit on it so we are getting her a new bed this weekend. She has done such a great job, we are so proud of her. The other great thing about it was that Quinn was so embarrased the first night that Reagan stayed in her bed all night that she has slept in her bed every night since! That's right, the last 3 nights Quinn has stayed in her own bed all night, she hasn't woke up at all.

Quinn is doing so well at preschool, Friday her teacher said that Quinn is by far her best listener and does such a great job, even better than the kids who are there full time! Quinn has also learned how to do the sign of the cross and is helping to teach Reagan. Reagan now puts her hands together and sits patiently while we pray at dinner, it is very cute.

We are looking forward to our trip to FL in a few weeks, it is supposed to get cold here so we'll look forward to the nice weather. Before I go, a funny Quinn story. Last week Lance had an appointment to discuss his procedure to prevent Quinn and Reagan from having anymore siblings. Quinn was very concerned about why her dad had to go to the doctor, she wouldn't let up about it so without thinking I just said that Mommy and Daddy didn't want to have anymore babies so Daddy was going to talk to his doctor about it. I thought that would satisfy her, but she looked really sad and then said, "If we don't want anymore babies what are we going to do with Reagan, who are we going to give her to?" I assured her that we were keeping Reagan and she was very relived!

Merry Christmas!

Reagan had so much fun!

Today we had breakfast with Santa at the Ritz in true RitzCarlton fashion! It was for all the employees so their wereover 400 kids there! The breakfast buffett was wonderful and of course, the service was impeccable!

They had many stations set up for the kids, an arts and craft area where Quinn made a glitter stocking. An area to write a letter to Santa, which Quinn did, requesting the real fish she wants and a pretend one for Reagan because she would spill a real one (that is all Quinn wants, what a sweet kid). Quinn's favorite was the cookie decorating station, she made a candy cane and gingerbread man. Reagan also made a snowflake, both the girls sampled some candy along the way!

Both of the girls wereterrified of Santa so we stayed away from him. It was such a wonderful event and so nice of the Ritz to have such a wonderful event for the families.

Pretty good for our first one!

Last night we made a Gingerbread house, I didn't bake it though, I bought a kit a Target. Quinn thought it was a lot of fun, but that it took a long time. She was also a bit disappointed in the size, I guess when I told her about it she imagined one like we saw at the Ritz, a lifesize one. She kept asking when it would get bigger so we could get in it.

Finally an update!

Sorry it's been a while since I did an update,we have been busy and my camera broke! Reagan has been starting to say some words and is really starting to communicate! She is changing so much everyday!

We went to the Ritz to see Santa and also attended the Mrs. Claus tea with Quinn's friends from across the street, we have had a busy few days.
