Snow and Santa

Teya can't get enough of the snow. Whenever we go somewhere, before she gets in the car she has to stop and make footprints. When we're driving in the car she stares dreamily out the window at the snow covered landscape and says things like, " I just can't wait for more snow. Snow makes me happy. I love the snow." After learning about seasons in preschool she has also started saying. "Winter is my favorite season. I love the winter. I don't want it to be spring, I want winter." I guess I'm glad she feels that way since we live in a state where she's guaranteed a LONG winter! : )

The girls also got to see Santa this weekend at our Christmas party at church. Brinley was pretty neutral about the experience. She didn't cry but she wasn't her smily self either. Teya was excited though. I told her to speak loud because it was noisy so when it was her turn she sat on his lap and in a loud voice proclaimed, " I want a DINOSAUR!" I think he got the message : )



I also had to throw in this bonus picture of Brinley staring at the camera string. Not only is her face priceless but I had to show that her eyes are turning kind of green! Who would've thought since Taber, Teya and I all have brown eyes!

Such cute girls. Brinley's eyes are pretty light. Cool.
I saw on the news that y'all (MN, anyway) have weather in the negatives! Is that right?!?! Probably once it gets to 0, anything less than that probably all feels the same...just COLD. Right?

Hmmm... we may have a little Sarah in the making (eyes). Oh man... get ready for the swarm of boys at your house when they're teenagers.
Teya reminds me of Makenzie so many times. Makenzie likes the snow, too. So much that today I kept calling her to get in her car seat while I put Jarom in and she wouldn't come - she was licking the snow off the car. I laughed and when we were driving she said "little girls just lick snow." so funny.

"Winter is my favorite season" - hahaha. I love when little kids say grown-up stuff like that.

And her dinosaur fascination is so funny to me! Like I said, ship her out to our house!

Hey Becca, it's Megan Lofthouse. Well, I guess it isn't Lofthouse. It is Woolston now. I have been meaning to contact you. I have been watching your blog. I got it from Brooke who got it from Rachel. Your girls are so cute. I started a blog (actually today). There is hardly anything on it but it is woolstonfam@blogspot.com. It was great seeing Naomi this summer. Write back if you can. Megan
