Bedtime Suprise

Aurora made our bed for us yesterday. When we got ready for bed we found a note under the
top pillow.

Here is a close up of the note:
It says: Dear mom and dad plaese look under your pillows even the midle love Aurora PS i love you. Those are hearts before and after the ps. She needs to work on her spelling still.
And this is what we found under the pillows:
(one for mom)

(one for dad)

And under the middle we found blow pop minis, we found them after I had put the camera away. Aurora is so sweet.

Here is a picture of her sleeping just because.

Crazy old lady

Aurora lost two teeth recently. When I blow dry her hair after her showers she makes weird faces in the mirror so she can see the holes. I think it makes her look like a crazy old lady. You can see one of the adult teeth growing in already :( Does she really have to grow up this fast?

Snowman and a snowball fight

After work today Jay took Aurora outside to build a snowman. She has been asking to build one since it first started snowing, so since it was warmer today (almost 40) they did it.

Once the snowman was built Aurora started a snowball fight. Jay was a good sport to go out in the cold with her. I stayed inside and took the pictures. Isn't that what dads are for?

Snow Day

We had a snow day today. Aurora went out and played a little. This around 11:30 this morning. It is still snowing and her tracks and the snow angel she made are almost completely filled in already. We tried to make a snowman, but it is just powder and will not stick together enough to make one.

Baby Emmitt and a squirrel

We had dinner over at my brother's house tonight, and Aurora got to hold her cousin Emmitt. He is so cute and getting big.

Also this afternoon she sat and watched this cute little critter eat right outside our back door.

Aurora's new look

Aurora's left eye is just a little weaker then the right, and they are hoping glasses can fix it.

Meet Bob

At the beginning of November Aurora wrote a letter to Santa, asking him if he would send an elf to play with her until Christmas. This morning she came out to find this:

His name is Bob. Santa said he will be with us until Christmas Eve. He is going to help Santa keep an eye on Aurora and let hiim know how she has been. Aurora is excited to have an elf come and stay for awhile.

So far he is doing everything with her.

Ever night he will write in his notebook about how she behaved that day, and he might get into some mischief while she sleeps. I told her she has to clean up any mess he might make, because she asked for him to come.
