CHRISTMAS!! Becky

I love Christmas season. Christmas is officially in full swing at the Stoddard house. Our decorations, which once looked like a TON in our little apartments, now look rather sparce in some places. From the first time we looked at our house, I was excited about the perfect Christmas tree window. And now that the tree is up, I can say that it definitely is the perfect tree window! So far we've managed to keep Holly from pulling on the branches, but I don't know how long that will last. Holly now has her own stocking, which I realized yesterday I had to make. It was the perfect activity for the AMAZING BYU-Utah game! Happy Christmas season, all!

Blessed, blessed children! - Becky

Alex has had a very busy week, and decided last night that he would work from home this morning. No alarms were set; we just waited for the 7:30 call of the children. At 8:30 this morning, we woke up and realized that both girls were still asleep! It was our little miracle for the day. I don't expect to be sleeping in that late again anytime soon.

The Halloween Pictures! - Becky

We got some cute pictures of the girls. Alex took Allison Trick-or-Treating while I stayed home with Holly (who got a good nap!) and gave candy to the kids who came to our house. We had a fun night! Alli is a little sad that she can't wear the princess dress anymore (we borrowed it). And now . . . Happy Birthday month, Dad and Steven!

Sunday fun - Alex

Becky did an amazing job on her talk this morning. She spoke about not being offended. She took up ten whole minutes! That's an improvement from the 5 minutes she took up the last time we spoke. My talk was a lot more boring than hers. She had much more emotion and had the audience in the palm of her hands.

Halloween - Becky

One thing I've learned as a parent is that Halloween is MUCH more fun now than it was when I was a kid. Yes, it was fun to dress up and go trick-or-treating when I was little, but I love dressing up the girls now and getting to stay in my regular clothes. Anyway, here is a picture of Holly from our Stoddard family Halloween party this weekend. I'll add more of the girls after Halloween.

WELCOME!

Well, I'm trying out the world of blogging. We will try to keep this updated with lots of cute pictures of the girls and fun updates on our lives.
