A Fun Rainy Day!

I love the rain. I especially love waking up to the sound of raindrops outside my window. Friday was one of those great rainy days. We only went out to get the babies haircut. Other than that we stayed home and made Christmas cookies, a countdown Christmas chain, and finished putting up Christmas decorations with Christmas music in the background. We definitely took part in some Christmas cheer.
Taylor loves her Princess umbrella. Thanks Grandma P!
Ashlyn's 1st haircut. She sat really still which is very unlike her.
It helped that I gave her my watch to chew on.

Andy is so ticklish, he laughed every time the stylist came after him with the clippers. It was so cute!

Christmas Cookies!

Can you guess that I bribed her with that uncooked cookie to smile like that?! Hey, it worked.

Our Christmas countdown chain.

I explained to Taylor that each morning she would get to take off one link on her chain and when they were all gone it was Christmas. After putting it up in her room, she said she was tired and wanted to go to bed. A little confused I said Okay Whatever. She climbed in bed, got under her blankets, and asked me to turn off her light and close the door. I was totally confused until a minute later she came out with a detached link from the chain saying, "I woke up so I got to take off a link."

Thanks Grandma J. for our snowmen, we love them!
