Snow Heatherns

Adelaide has somehow decided that the proper way to run is by putting her arms straight out behind her... like a backwards superhero. It's hilarious!

Today she flew over to Papaw and Mamaw's with us for Christmas dinner (turkey, yummy mashed potatoes, etc.) and to open gifts. The kids made quite a haul: new shoes, clothes, backpacks, books, dolls, and the piece de resistance...two big hatboxes full of dress up clothes. Josie's had a purple hat with a plume, gloves, a boa, and a skirt and shirt, and Sadie's had a pink ballerina dress, flats with ribbons, a crown, a magic wand, and a bracelet. They immediately ran to put these on, and then they proceeded to put on a "Cinderella show," with Sadie as Cinderella and Josie as ALL of the supporting roles (Fairy Godmother, Prince, Stepsisters, etc.). Papaw and Mamaw enjoyed the show immensely, especially the "after show" when the actors came out to curtsy and 'meet the audience.'

Later, we went out to play (Papaw tried out Sadie's new scooter) and they had fun running up and down the driveway (Adelaide), riding the push car (Josie), and jumping through the snow making rabbit tracks (Sadie). After the grownups got too cold and went inside, Papaw opened the door and yelled out to the kids, "HEY! Get in here, you little heatherns!" :)

The girls wanted to stay at their house, but Jesse and I had to put Adelaide down for a nap and meet Brian for dinner. As I was leaving and giving final (obey) instructions for the girls, I told my daddy, "Don't let them see anything on TV with bad words, cause they'll repeat it..." Josie piped up, "Yep, we will!"
