Tessa got her cupcake maker! We made a batch of mini cupcakes and then washed up the 2o or so mini spoons and measuring cups and bowls and mini serving plates and trays. It was fun.

Christmas Morning
I guess the girls made it on to the nice list. It was close though. Santa brought Julia and Rachel wii fit and Grace and Tessa a gymnastics mat.
Christmas Eve Party
This Christmas we had no parents/grandparents nearby so things were a little quiet. Some friends kindly invited us to their big family Christmas party and the kids participated in acting out the nativity. Jack even played the baby Jesus.

Winter Fun
We have a perfect sledding hill right out our back door. Usually we don't get enough snow here to use it but this year we have had plenty. Check out Grace's sledding attire. What kind of mom lets her kid sled in a nightgown?

T-E-S-S-U
"Mom, you guys didn't spell my name right when I was born. It should end with a U but if you don't like that then you can just call me Tess and spell it T-E-S-S."
I tried to pull a fast one over on Tess yesterday at Costco. I saw a cupcake maker that she had asked Santa for. (she decided that maybe the Big City Slider pan was not for her and if she got a cupcake maker she could still serve all her friends). Anyways I did not want to make a seperate trip back there so I snuck it into the cart and quickly covered with clothes and my coat while she was distracted. When we got to the check out I quietly told the cashier what I was trying to do and she scanned everything very carefully while I talked to Tessa. As we were leaving Tessa took the receipt from me and held it up to the bottom of the cart and said, "I need to cover that up so I don't see it." I asked her what she was talking about and she pointed to the tiniest corner of the cupcake maker that was peeking out at the bottom of the cart. 4 year olds are smarter than they look.

Tessa's Christmas Wish
John took Tessa to see Santa at the mall last night and she could not think of anything to ask him for this year. Must be nice not to have any wants that haven't been met. Well, today Tessa came and grabbed my hand and dragged me to the television to see an infomercial on Big City Sliders (a special pan that lets you cook 5 mini hamburgers at once). She said, "This is what I want for Christmas! He said you can serve them to all your friends!".
I posted Grace's unusual Christmas wish a while back. Is it me or are my kids just a little bit strange?

The Happiest Place on Earth ...
We had a fun time visiting Disneyland this week. We went with Grandma Jeane and our good friends the Fellers and the Fellows. Our girls are quite the thrill seekers ... the bigger the drop the better when it comes to rides.
