Resolutions and catch up

Among my New Year's Resolutions this year is to be a better blogger. Not only for all of you 'faithful followers' but for our own family journal. I decided to start with a reasonable goal so I plan to blog once a week. (Feel free to send me hate mail if I fail to keep up with my goal.) My girls are at such fun ages where they do and say hilarious things so hopefully that will give me plenty of material! Let's see...Halloween was fun, Thanksgiving was great too, and that brings us to Christmas.
We got the girls their own little tree to decorate for Christmas. They had a blast decorating it and it left our big tree for me to decorate- I am kinda a control freak that way.
(I like how it looks like our dog is laughing in this picture:)Every year we take a few pictures of the girls in their Chrismas dresses in front of the Christmas tree. They turned out very cute this year. It doesn't hurt that both kids love to pose for the camera!
Both of the girls got scooters for Christmas this year. DD1 really wanted one, and little sister wants to be just like her big sister, so that's what they asked Santa to bring. Other favorite gifts for DD1 were a boom box complete with cds, and a leapster from Grandma. DD2 was happy for her Littlest Pet Shop house and a new Webkinz pet. BBVD (my hubby) and I decided to keep it simple this year since we headed off for a trip the day after Christmas!
(Pictures from the trip are coming up in the next post)
