Happy Birthday to Us, We are 2 Years Old!!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Us!!!
We are now 2 years old. We had 3 birthdays this year, just like we had 3 Christmases. The first one was with mommy and daddy, so they could give us our new rocking chairs. They have our names on them. Mine has ladybugs and Meaghan's has sea life.


----------------------------------
The next party was up in Fergus Falls with daddy's side. We got "laptops' from mommy and daddy. Books and CD's from our cousins, dress up clothes (Snow White and a Pirate girl) and really cute outfits from grandpa and grandma Kreiser. MorMor and Aunt Kelly made us special Elmo cupcakes.







-------------------------------
Our Final party was at Aunt Kari's. We got more great presents and Aunt Staci made us Elmo cupcakes that were soooooo yummy!






----------------------------
On our actual birthday, both mommy and daddy had to work, but Danika (our nanny) watched us for the day and we had so much fun. We still had a birthday dinner that daddy made and they sang to us again. We love the "Happy Birthday" song. Meaghan snuggled with daddy before bed. Then mommy tucked us in for the night. We had such a good day. Meaghan even thought mommy would let her have her milk with her overnight. Yeah, I don't think so.


Have a good night and we'll see you next year.
Love, Allison and Meaghan

Christmas Celebration with Family!

It's that time of year again, when we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus. We have been listening to Christmas songs and we have 4 favorites. We have "bingle bells" (Jingle Bells), "Santa" (Santa Claus is coming to town), and 2 "Baby Jesus" songs (Away in the Manger and What Child is This). We still have mommy play them on our iPod at nap and bedtime even though Christmas is over. We celebrated Christmas 3 different times this year. We went to Fergus Falls for a few days, so before we left we opened presents from mommy and daddy.





------------------------------
In Fergus Falls, we celebrated on Christmas Eve with MorMor and Papa; Aunt Kelly, Uncle David, Amanda, and Emma. We got to wear our fuzzy coats to church, along with our pretty velvet dresses. Allison kept twirling, although mommy could never catch her with the camera.

Here we are with mommy. I'm in the light pink and Allison is in the dark pink coat.

----------------------------------
Christmas day we went to Aunt Kari's for mommy's side of the family. We drove 3 hours from Fergus Falls that morning. We were so good in the car. It helps when mommy treats us to movies. We only get them in the car for VERY long rides.

Cecelia, Allison, Ciaran, Meaghan, Nolan in the back, Aidan in the front. Kenzlie and Kaitlyn weren't there yet.

We got so many presents that day, it was crazy!!!!!!!!!! We got 2 new dolls, clothes, diaper bag, medicine bag for babies, movies, books, blankets made by Nana, high chair, cradle, coloring and writing stuff, etc..... Like I said it was CRAZY, especially with all of our cousins their too with their gifts. We had so much fun playing, we didn't even have to take a nap. Allison and I were just waiting for mommy to make us lay down for a nap. We just made sure we were good, 'cause if we got crabby I bet we would have had to take a nap. Mommy put us in our jammies before we left. Guess what??? Mommy is smart, we were asleep before we got out of the neighborhood, then went to bed as soon as we got home. We were wiped!!!!!!!!!!!



We hope you had a great Christmas.
Love, Meaghan and Allison

Pre-Holiday Fun!!!


Hello everyone ~ We just wanted to send some pictures of what we did for some pre-holiday fun. It snowed like crazy right before Christmas. Our mommy actually went outside with us. Can you believe it??? She only came out to watch us have fun and take pictures. Luckily daddy, Amanda, and Emma came out too, so they played with us. We did pretty good, except when we lost our balance and landed in the snow. Neither Meaghan nor I cared for that very much. Daddy tooled us around the yard on a sled. With Amanda's help we buried Emma in the snow.







--------------------------------------------
We also built a gingerbread house with MorMor, Amanda, and Emma. We had so much fun putting candy on the house. I even snuck a few pieces for myself, yummy!!! Later we decorated sugar cookies and I helped unwrap kisses for daddy's favorite cookies. I did such a good job. I even knew to put the chocolate in the bowl and the wrappers on the table. I only snuck one little bite. Believe it or not, chocolate is NOT my favorite. I am definitely not mommy in that regard. She LOVES chocolate.










We hope you had as much as we did getting ready for the holidays.
Love, Allison and Meaghan.
