This is about the view we all had Xmas Eve while we were attempting to put together the dollhouse I randomly bought months ago for Gwennie. Not knowing there was something like 4000 pieces, we decided to crack open the box around 9 PM thinking we would be done within an hour.....or so.....
Well, the dollhouse is done and is a HUGE hit (as was the Dora Scooter which was literally a last minute toy). Hudson loves his incredi-block and sock monkey which I am pretty sure is going to be attached to him in later years. As you can see from the pictures Nana Sus, GeeGee and Pop pop were here for the fun and were a big help with all of the cleaning/assembling of toys and food. The day after Christmas Corbin, Gwennie and I said our good bye's to Nana and headed to Monkey Joe's to burn off some of the food we had been eating all weekend. Gwennie wasn't to into going on the slides but loves the bounce house and you will notice her father does as well!
Pop pop and I celebrated our birthdays and you can see from the video below that Gwennie liked to serenade us every night before birthday cake (which we ate just about every day for almost four days now! Safe to say we are birthday caked out!
Here are the pictures from the fun and 2 videos of Gwennie. Every time she jumped on the Dora Scooter "Skip to My Lou" was heard throughout the house and lately she's adding this nutty ballet routine as well that I caught a quick show of with my dad's camera phone.
Once again the Webb family met up for the annual holiday sleepover. I think everyone can agree this might have been the best party yet. From the Spice for lunch (wonderful burger joint in Sparkle City) to decorating of the gingerbread dolls/houses and the finale of the "Tiger Woods Starter Kit" Chinese Auction, everyone had a blast! The kids literally passed out both nights from exhaustion and I loved hearing "where's Gwennie" from Molly or "Hi Molly" from Blyth. Gwennie was also Miss Chatty and woke up every morning with the same question...."Mommy/Daddy....where's Molly, Blyth, Faryn, Kamryn & Alex?" She could not wait to see her cousins and Hudson was pretty much occupied by every family member. I think he's going to expect to be held from here on out!
Here are lots of pictures from the weekend.
What a great vacation! Saturday Corbin, Gwennie and I headed out to California to visit with our friends Michael, Michelle and Madeline. As you can see from the pictures we spent LOTS of time outside and at Disneyland. Gwennie and Madeline had a blast and quickly became BFFs! Michael and Michelle were amazing hosts and we loved waking up to warm, sunny weather. Corbin and I both agreed this is one of the best vacations we have ever taken and we can't wait to come back and visit again!
As you can see here...it was a chilly 29 degrees on Sunday. Unfortunately it was a brisk 24 degrees in the house because our gas pump on the heater wasn't working so we all were in sweatshirts and under blankets until Daddy could fix the heater. Hopefully today it will be resolved and it is finally warmer in the house as we are running on electric now which is not as efficient but at this point we all just wanted the house to be warmer.
Other than the cold temperatures, we attempted some Xmas pics in cheesy matching outfits (I know the kids will be mad that I made them dress alike when they were younger). Until they can pick out their own clothes, they are stuck with matching smocked clothing for now. I figured you all would like to see some of the "outtakes" from our Xmas picture fiasco...
