Hannah and Lindsey

Wednesday

West Baden Hotel - Christmas

I like this game.

Checkmate, Sissy!

Battle of the Brains.

The tree in the dome. It was pretty but the girls were more interested in the chessboard. - Nov. 2009

French Lick Sheraton at Christmas

This day shouldn't have happened. The girls were super tired and Lindsey was in meltdown mode but once we arrived at the hotel, they were angels. The holiday spirit must have caught them offguard. It was a great day from then on.

Hmm wonder which list we're on. Let's make sure we're on the good list.

Now let's get our story straight. You tell Santa we're good and I won't harm the ornaments.

Hannah loved the gingerbread house. Mommy only had to retrieve her from under the ropes twice. - Nov. 2009

More from the Circus

The elephants were a family fave.

Ella was super excited. About the circus and the snacks. - Nov. 2009

Circus Time

For Lindsey to sit this still, it must be fascinating!

The big tigers caught Hannah's attention.

They were pretty cool!

Three rings of fun! - Nov. 2009

Young Executive

Hannah multitasks - answering the phone, balancing the checkbook and grabbing a snack. What do you mean the order is late? - Nov. 2009

Tree Decorating

Mommy let us put up our Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. We were super excited! Here Mommy got a little excited too, playing with the shutter on her camera. We got in on the action too. We liked to see what it looked like when Mommy drew with the camera. We asked her to draw triangles, swirlies and even a kitty. It didn't look like a kitty when she was done, but we still had fun.

Lindsey liked the swirlies the best.

We got a little crazy with the ornaments. Lindsey was convinced she needed sunglasses and Hannah wanted to put pompons on the tree. We decided we'd use them to make snowmen on another day. It was getting pretty late.

The little tree is in Hannah's room. She would have warranted a bigger tree, but it wouldn't fit.

Lindsey's room has the pencil tree. The girls decorated both trees. They helped carry all the ornaments upstairs and, other than the up-high places, they decorated them all by themselves. That may explain why some branches have three ornaments each:) - Nov. 2009
