First Half of Winter Break

Victoria gets just over two weeks off for Winter Break. We started it off right with a mini family reunion in Las Vegas. My Dad flew into Phoenix and him, V and me drove to Vegas where we met my sis, her husband and daughter and my aunt and cousin. We had a blast!!

After a couple of days in Vegas my Dad, V, my sis, her husband Eric and daughter Madeline all drove back to Phx to celebrate Christmas. Next week V is staying home with Eddie...stories to come...

What we did on Christmas Eve...

Victoria

What better thing to do than go get your nails done?!!? Victoria got Christmas stickers on her thumbs...they were gorgeous!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

With much love we wish everyone a very Merry Christmas...

Homework Book

So every week V has homework to do for school. As I mentioned before she has a book that she has to do "triangle reading". I (or Eddie) read it to her, we read it together and she reads it by herself. Well today Eddie was doing the book with her. He told her it was time for her to read it and she wouldn't. She said she already did. It turned into an arguement, she got upset and then she called us liars. I couldn't helpit, I started laughing...just the way she said it, it was really funny. Oh man do we have our hands full with her...

Elf Drama

We had a little bit of Elf drama but luckily Mama is a fast thinker. So since Zert (the Elf) is magically nobody can touch him or his powers will go away. Well, earlier in the week he was sitting on the end table. As you all know Stella loves to carry things in her mouth especially when she gets excited. Sure enough when we got home from work Stella started flipping out and grabbed Zert off the table and dropped him on the floor. V instantly started crying, thinking that his powers were lost. She jumped into my lap and buried her face in me. I motioned for Eddie to put Zert back and go into the kitchen. When Eddie got into the kitchen I turned my head back and said Victoria, Victoria look. He jumped back onto the table. She stopped crying and looked up. I then said I guess his magic only goes away if a person touches him.
Crisis adverted...

Snow in AZ?!!??

Yep, that is right. This past Sat there was snow in Scottsdale. They made snow (lots of snow) for the kids to play in. My Mom took V. Since V is a AZ baby she really didn't know what to do, but she was so excited. I love the picture of her and Santa in the green grass.
