Sista Sista!

My girls bring me so much joy! I love watching them interact with each other and protect each other. They have a special bond! One thing I love is that when Annabelle is crying, Lily gets very serious and says in a very demanding way, "What happened to my Sissy!?" When they are in big groups of kids they always start out side by side daring anyone to pick on their sissy. They do have their moments of fighting however. I'm excited to see how our lives adapt to having another sister. I'm excited for all that life brings with having girls!

Playing Doctor, they are very good at taking turns with the outfit and tools, although Annabelle tells Lily exactly how to do it.

All Dressed Up! Annabelle wanted to wear my necklace.

took the girls skiing at the Jackson Hole resort, it was pretty cold so they were only interested for a short time.

Lily's first time skiing!

She said, "I did it!"

Lily's adventure getting out of bed and getting into my makeup, she did get everything in the right area though haha

Christmas & Annabelle's Birthday

We had a very Merry Christmas! We went up to the cabin and did Christmas morning with Mom & Dad Searle; played in the snow and went sledding and skiing. We had a blast! Then we celebrated Christmas with Mom & Dad Richmond. The girls acted out the nativity this year and it was super cute and funny.

We cut down a Christmas Tree!

sledding races, Annabelle loves going fast!

I just love this picture, they were both so gentle with the "baby" and gave Him kisses, it was just a blanket wrapped up.

Grammy Searle made the girls these hats! so Cute!

Isn't it amazing that she put a snowflake on them!

Lily loved the snow mobile

Christmas Jammies at Grammy & Papa Richmonds

We stayed at their house on saturday night and went to church together for Taylor's baby blessing. This is the girls in their Christmas Dresses

Lily playing doctor

After Christmas we have a week to recover before Annabelle's Birthday! She is 4 now! I can't believe it! We were planning an Elsa party, but she decided she wanted a Tinkerbell party after she got a Tinkerbell dress for Christmas. So we had a Pirate Fairy Party from the Tinkerbell movie. We lost the blue pixie dust and had to get it back by sword fighting a pirate, walking a plank, and sorting the pixie dust to their correct colors, topped it off by making magic fairy bottles then we opened presents and had cake! It was super fun and the kids loved it! Lily was confused about the gifts because she just had Christmas but Annabelle generously let Lily help her open presents.

Annabelle has loved this horse! She loves that the hat has a "Crown" on it :) she has even shared the horse with Lily

The cake I made for Annabelle with the help of Mom Searle and Cindy!

It was a hit :)
