Christmas 2020

My favorite people <3
My little tie-dye cuties <3 They were so excited to match for school!
Family bike ride - Rayna upgraded to a bike attachment so she can get more practice!
Santa 2020 Covid style! The girls enjoyed visiting with Santa (from a distance) and telling him what they wanted this year... Rayna asked for Cave Club dolls/dinosaurs and a Mr. Grinch toy. Rylee asked for a horse and cards/envelopes :) He said, "I think I can do that and how about a surprise for both of you?!" So glad we were still able to see Santa even if it was through plexiglass and a face shield. This will definitely be a year we will never forget!!
Sweet girls ready for the last week of school before Christmas break <3
Found this taped to the wall by Rylee's room - she is the most sensitive and thoughtful little girl! We miss our sweet Mali girl and talk about her all the time <3
Last day of school + PJ day! :)
The elves surprised the girls :) They brought hot chocolate & were stuck in a jar so they could take them with us to look at Christmas lights tonight :)
Wowwww!
Gingerbread House Fun!
Christmas Eve service <3
Cookies made for Santa!
My cuties matching in their new Christmas Eve pajamas
Merry Christmas! :)
Taking the new scooters for a ride and always posing!
My favorite gift - our sweet Mali girl <3
Happy New Year + Happy Birthday to the best Daddy!!!

Things I don't want to forget...
Rylee:
  • mister toe instead of mistletoe 
  • "I miss Mali and I will always have her in my heart"
  • "I would give up all the horses in the world to have Mali back" <3
  • "spell i cup" lol
  • ...and a one, and a two, and a you know what to do (prayers countdown)
  • "Elves were probably born in China because that is what it says on my Rudolph reindeer from the North Pole"
Rayna:
  • "I hope I am not on the naughty list"
  • I said What Rayna? and she replied, "ugh me and Rylee are talking kinda personal right now Mommy"
  • "I want a movie night!" Daddy said no, "Awww Daddy never ever lets anything fun happen"
  • "moment of true" instead of moment of truth
  • "I know how to spell Texas...USA!"
  • "I am not ever going to work anywhere...just want to stay home"
  • "You are my favorite mommy!"
  • I was reading a new dinosaur book about the dinosaur swimming and flying...and Rayna chimes in "fake, fake, fake!"
