Christmas and more Christmas

What a busy week with lots of family and fun!

Monday Rose helped me make some brownies to enjoy with Aunt Kate and Uncle Jon who are visiting during school break, we can't wait until they are done this spring and move back!

Tuesday Rose insisted taht she needed a gift for her babies...this was either the kindest gesture ever or a really sly ploy to get another toy... So we went to Target, as we do every week, and found this record player (I think mine is still somewhere in my parent's attic). 

Rose also helped me make an Angel Food cake to give to Pop on Christmas since we didn't make one for his birthday. Rose doesn't love the mixer on high, so she wore her ear protectors!

I don't mean to brag....but we are ridiculously awesome at baking this cake :)

Wednesday after a riding lesson and trip to Dunkin Donuts, Rose found some HUGE muddy puddles to stomp around in at home. 

I signed up to work overtime Christmas Eve, so daddy gave Rose one of her presents a little early for the two of them to enjoy in daddy's pole barn. 

Here are the presents for Rose all ready for Christmas morning!

Rose loved all her presents...

And especially her baby doll that pooped charms ;)

After presents and some play at our house we headed to breakfast at Pop's and Nana's. Rose was very excited for a baby doll that was as big as she was and cousin Trip.

We then headed down to Grandpa and Grandma's for another round of presents and lunch.

Rose got another doll that poops charms and was just as happy! This kiddo loves her babies and was very happy to have twins!

Rose was even able to cuddle up with Aunt Jenni for story time.

Grandpa and Grandma got Rose a new bike. She loved it and is doing so well steering it all around.

Saturday before we headed to the Bechtel Christmas, Rose rode her bike around the pole barn and then decided to drive daddy's bus...she left her helmet on, good call!

Justin (or the iPad) seem to have been a magnet for little girls at the Bechtel Christmas party, but he was a good sport and played lots with these two cuties. 

Great Grandma

Sunday it was more fun with the bike, this time she decided she should put some tools in her basket. 

I think we have finally recovered from our exhausting Christmas week, bring on the New Year!
