Merry Christmas!

Sunday Bike Ride

Despite the 50 degree temp's, we went out for a bike ride Sunday night.  I think the girls were plenty warm.

         

We stopped at Safeway for dinner, like poor people, leaving the girls' helmets on.  I had a couple corn dogs, Bobbins a salad, and the girls some less-than-appetizing mac n cheese.  I did buy us a huge piece of chocolate cake for dessert, which MM managed to devour half of the icing in one bite.  After which she proudly stated: "I'm your daughter Daddy!"  Hi-larious.

          

We did see some nice X-mas decorations in the Coronado district on the way home.

Sun Devil PJs

The girls got these a while ago but it's finally cold enough to use them.  And what better way to welcome our new head football coach.

       

        

Dreamy Hike

The beautiful weather Saturday demanded a hike, and we obliged, at Dreamy Draw.

                           

         

                  

C Museum

I took today off to spend some QT with the girls, and to give Bobbins a break.  I had never been to the Childrens Museum of Phoenix, so off we went.  We had quite a blast.  Thankfully I found a family bathroom for all of us to use together.

Mom, I took pic's of the plinko-like games just for you.

Jay, you'll recognize the photo just for you too.




When we got there, this rocket was mostly white and in dire need of an orange paint job.  MM obliged.

            

          

           

Sisters- not that kind

For awhile now I have wanted to turn a barbie from a slut to a saint. My sister in law gave us one for a birthday gift. We named her Sister Mary Grace. The inspiration of one of my friends got me to make the rest of the sisters and a priest. We stripped Sister Mary Grace and used her habit to make patterns for the rest of the girls. Hot glue, some stitching, and some prayers completed the Congregation.

We even have a flying nun.

MM's Bike Trick

I had been wanting to try this for a while and finally got a chance this past weekend.  I knew MM would do it perfectly.  Next time Bobbins is away I'm going to take both girls on a ride with MM on back, JoJo in front.

        



Yes, you can still nominate me for father of the year.

Cookie Decorating

Bobbins had the girls bake and decorate (using home-made frosting) some cookies for the neighbors.

             

        

        

2011 Tree

Last Saturday we ventured to a nursery to get an X-mas Tree.



This one at left is the one we picked.  I'm not sure JoJo was convinced it was the one.

       





The girs got right in there and help me center it in the base.

       

       

        

On to the decorating, which JoJo excelled at; MM not so much.
