The twins are 5!!!

I decided it would be impossible to catch up, so were starting with current events around here.  Most recent is the twins' birthday.  It is crazy that they are 5.  They will be starting Kindergarten in the fall and they are growing up so quickly.  Together they are up and down.  They play so well for a while and then they are fighting.  They still are pretty protective of each other and don't like to do things on their own.  There are some pretty precious moments between the two of them!  Right now they are both pretty different in their personalities.  Addyson is all girl.  She loves dancing and playing with dolls and playing "family".  She is my back talker, sassy mouthed one as well.  She likes to argue and whine trying to get her way.  She is dramatic and outgoing and loves playing with all the girls in the neighborhood. She likes to mother Ashton a little and Carter a lot!   Ashton still loves Buzz, Woody, McQueen, and Thomas.  He loves to be Superman and play super heroes too.  He loved playing Tball this summer and loves riding his bike and is coming around to the scooter.  He is tender-hearted and sweet and he also likes to yell, jump off things and, wrestle.  He is more reserved and can easily entertain himself with his toys but he does like to play the kids in the neighborhood too.  These both love their baby brother and love to play with him.  They are such great kids and I am so lucky to get to be their mom.

What's been going on at our house....

Thanksgiving with the Hales Family







Decorating the Christmas tree



 Getting our letters ready to send to Santa...

Ward Christmas Party


 Addy had her first dance recital.  She danced so well and was so excited to wear makeup!




Grandma Clarke had a Christmas party with a special visitor.  They were super excited and got right up on his lap to tell Santa what they wanted.  Addy asked for a pink Barbie and an orange pillow.

Santa teased Ashton a little and said he didn't have a present for him is his bag and Ashton was instantly heartbroken.  It was so sad but he perked up pretty quick when he saw a gift for him in Santa's bag.


 Carter just stared at him.  He didn't cry at all.
