Scott and I got new iPhones for Christmas (hooray!) so the girls have inherited our old generation phones. I've deleted everything from the phones and filled them with fun apps like "Nick Jr.'s A-Z," "Giraffe's Preschool Playground," Dora's ABCs," LunchBox Preschool" and "Dr. Seuss's ABCs." They LOVE to play on their "phones" and have learned a lot. It's pretty funny to see two toddlers walking around with iPhones. What's next, laptops at preschool!? :)

This summer I bought 4 passes to a place called Totter's Otterville from Groupon. I'd sort of forgotten about them until we were housebound from snow for a few days. My neighbor and I decided to take our kids to get out of the house, and let them blow off some of that pent-up steam from staying home for so long.

Needless to say, they LOVED it! The place is HUGE and has a million things to do...

Christmas has ALWAYS been my favorite holiday. The feeling of peace, the lights, the excitement of the holiday... and the Clidences make it even more special. Christmas was especially exciting for us this year, as Scott had the entire week off and the girls had officially discovered Santa.

Our tradition is, church, dinner, family photo, open gifts. We're usually up until midnight or so but it's so worth it, just to spend that much time with everyone.
