Amira and Amanda's First REAL Snow!

We got snow in NC on inauguration day so we all ended up at home playing in the snow. Here are some pictures from that day/evening.


Here is our silly dog Annie letting the girls bury her in the snow.

Then Amira proceeded to try to bury her Daddy in snow.

THE MAKING OF THE SNOWMAN!
HERE IS THE FINAL PRODUCT! TOO BAD HE DIDN'T HAVE A HAT!

Amira's shout!

Here is Amira clowning around like she's shoutin'. It's not one of her "for real" shouts but it's funny anyhow. She stops at the end and tells her Daddy he needs to go get some "instruments" which means the tambourine:)

Opening Gifts on Christmas Morning at Grandma Leggett's house

Unfortunately, I didn't get many pictures on Christmas day. Here are the few pics I took and some videos. The girls have on their boots with their pjs but it's Christmas Day and they didn't have houseshoes. I thought it was a cute lil get up myself (although I'm slightly biased:)

Amira luvs puzzles!

Here is a video of Amanda praisin da Lord for her Elmo.....hilarious!!!

My Amira wanted to be so mean to Elmo for some reason?!?!

Amira's Ribbon Dance Class

Here we are headed to class:


Amira got a lil frustrated in class since some of the girls wouldn't pay attention and the teacher had to stop and give more instructions.

You can tell from these videos that although this is a 2 year old class she is ready for the next level class. Come on Ms. Natarsha!!

Amanda is such a little sister sometimes!

Who likes to eat, who likes to play......Amanda versus Amira?!?!

Girlz nite slumber party!

Jacquelle went on his annual Men’s Retreat so Amira slept in the bed with me and Amanda woke up too early so I put her in our bed too. I really enjoy sleeping as a family…..too bad Jacquelle doesn’t or we would have a slumber party in bed at least once a month. Here are some pics of my sleeping beauties. I had just taken Amira’s braids down the night before so excuse the afro!
