Well, we put up our Christmas tree this past weekend. We usually put it up Thanksgiving weekend, but we will be in Milwuakee, so the girls thought it would be fun to put it up early. It was a good time! Keely and Mali helped decorate the tree with their ornaments. We ate popcorn and drank hot chocolate. Mali had "bubbly" since she doesn't like hot chocolate. It looks beautiful! Mali loves when the lights are on and the tree is "awake" But is disappointed when the tree "sleeps" and she can't see the lights.

The girls have had bad colds this past week. I asked Mali when her cold was going to go away and she told me, "Ummmm, in about 45 minutes!" Jeff also asked her where her pj pants were one morning and she told him that they "flew the coop!" She keeps us laughing!

Keely has been picking up on everything we say and repeating it! She told me the picking up all her toys was "so annoying." And she is very excited for Santa to bring her presents. But she keeps telling Mali that if she doesn't share, Santa won't bring her presents. She has ears like a hawk that one!

I love you to pieces girls!
Love,
Mom

OH you girls have been so funny lately....Keely, you have named your Cabbage Patch Doll, "Dora Sargent Dot Com." You also told me that you would like an "easy button" for Christmas this year. Mali, when we were playing beauty shop, you told me, "mom, if we don't look good, you don't look good!" You two are the funniest people I know! You always keep me laughing!

I love you!

Well, today we hit the Children's Museum of MN. IT was SO MUCH FUN! Curious George was there and there was even a Sesame Street set up. You girls had a blast! But, we got lost on the way there and that is what you talked about!

We've been busy the past few days. NOt really doing much, but keeping busy. You both have colds right now and it's tough to see you suffer through the sniffles. But I am grateful that it is only a cold!

I love you girls!

Halloween Night

Halloween was last night and boy was it a fun time! Keely dressed up as a circus clown and Mali was a kitty cat. They both had a blast trick or treating. It's the first year we really went to houses, other than grandma's neighbors. Keely was afraid to ring the doorbells at first, but she got the hang of it pretty quickly. After Mali would get her candy, she would run back to us and say, "MOM! I got a TON of candy!" She was very excited. Keely was scared of a few of the costumes the old kids had on. I told her that if she sees a scary costume, she should say "BOO!" to that person and see if she can surprise them. She never said it, but you could tell she really wanted to. I think she was scared speechless!!

It was a fun night! More updates later!
I love you girls!
